Schedule Change for A11 Rupert River scheduled to be flown July 8^th.

Important Notice for all UNC OB flyers. The race committee is responsible for the safety and well-being of our birds and driver during the race season. We are also aware that any change to the schedule should not be taken lightly and should be made with enough advance warning to allow members to make necessary adjustments. With the wildfire situation in northern Quebec still a major concern and the air quality being very poor in that area, the Race Committee through its constitutional authority has changed the last race of the season from the scheduled Rupert River in Quebec to Klotz Lake in Ontario. We do not make a change like this lightly but feel it is a necessary step to give our birds and driver the safest experience possible.

Good morning, A06 Latchford birds were released at 7:15 am with a 9 km/h NE wind and a temp of 13 deg. Check back after 8:30 am for B06 Latchford release information. Good luck to all.
