YOUNG FANCIER’S ACHIEVEMENT AWARD Awarded to Liam & James Fisher for their performance in the Guernsey YB race 8th & 9th Open, 7th & 8th Section. The October Classic Committee was held to discuss the 2023 season and prepare for racing in 2024. There has been much talk of organisations needing to join together to save on costs, so between ourselves, the British Barcelona Club and the British International Championship Club that is what we have done. We are also welcoming anyone else who would like to jump on board with us and fly the Channel. In the old bird race programme for Nort Sur Erdre, Pau and Bordeaux we will be joining with the BBC and BICC, for Messac we will be working with the BBC. The young bird/old bird programme will see the three organisations travelling to Fougeres together and for Guernsey YB/OB it will be ourselves and the BBC. There is now a WhatsApp group for all the latest Classic Information members can join by opening this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GirmloUBJwLDFmMORwrba4 Old Birds Races Saturday 4th May – Carentan , £4.00 per bird – Marking Thursday 2nd May; Saturday 8th June – Nort Sur Erdre , £4.50 per bird – Marking Thursday 6th June; Friday 21st June – Pau International , £9.50 per bird – Marking Monday 17th June; Saturday 29th June – Messac , £4.00 per bird – Marking Thursday 27th June (joint with the BBC); Friday 12th July – Bordeaux , £7.00 per bird – Marking Tuesday 9th July.
