Member basketing Notice for Mittyack 3 & C&J Morris 10 birder – Saturday 6 August 2022.

All members basketing at the WPF rooms are asked to arrive for basketing no later than 7.00pm.

All outside clubs are asked to ensure they arrive at the WPF rooms no later than 8.30-9.00pm to allow time for their 10 birders to be run into the units allocated.

This will ensure that the birds can be entered into both races in a timely manner and allow the truck to be loaded safely so it can leave as early as possible to provide a safe journey for the truck driver, convoyer and the birds.

Sunday is expected to have scattered showers which are more centred around Melbourne providing a clearer path for the birds for their trip home.
