Club meeting rescheduled for March 17

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

The LRPC meeting for March 5 has been rescheduled for March 17 at the Beaumont Library at 7pm.

We will be setting the hauling schedule for the old bird races due to start in April.  It will make it easier on Ricky  if you all come prepared to pay dues for at least the first half of the year; and order bands for 2010.  So be thinking about how many bands you will need for next year.  As far as I know they will be the same cost next year as this, ie 25 cents each.

George Pope called me last week, and due to his age, health and needs of the birds he is no longer going to keep pigeons.  He has 17 yearlings (all flown out in training to 100 miles) available for anyone interested.
Hope to see you all Tuesday.

-Bob Zerkle
