The Races.
Pau 2011
The details shown below, released by Colombe Joyeuse organisers of the International Pau, mean that the maximum number of pigeons that can be entered by any one competitor was raised from 7 in 2009 to 15 in 2010 and this remains for 2011. This may not have a great impact on the entry from the UK, for a variety of reasons, but it may well have an effect on the overall entry and consequently the result.

Provisional Top 50 International
It was clear from the start that the wind would assist and this improved as the day progressed however what could not be estimates was by how much the rain that sat on southern England would wash away those chances.
The answer was that eight pigeons would push their way through on the day with many more to follow the next morning.
