rpra update

will be an up-date on their web-site tomorrow regards the new restrictions and pigeon racing if i can i am going to get a refund for our one loft birds but if they demand entry then it will have to be a courier as we are restricted movement ,at the moment walkers are still taking orders but that could change at anytime ,if we do have to still enter then i will organise courier on monday ,if not possible to get a courier then we will have to take our chance and hope its deemed as a important journey if we were to get stopped on the road

thanks for the update darren, sounds like they are looking for a way to scam us....im sure youll not let that happen, play it by ear and do what you thinks best i reckon .

we got all angles covered so they wont get one over on us ...just waiting for there up-date tomorrow then decide how to play it but it looks like they will still admit birds until closing date 31st march so they have covered their backside and get there dosh but what happens after that is anyones guess ...same old eh little info just get the dosh in if we have to take the birds ourselves then we will

if they dont race them, and auction them off i think fanciers should complain, they will have blatantly used the situation to make money out of people ......

yup bang on there david

isnt as though it was loose change sort of thing, it was over £100 per bird........so will be on a nice little earner .....

1500 entries expected this year 1100 already at the lofts but i worry about there care now with all thats going on but we have to enter or we lose £625 ...i wont have members ripped off ,we will get them there come hell or high water

when you think about it, we pay £125 (?) per bird entry ........birds do not race hence no performances or results to say which is a good bird etc .........we get 50% of auction money which could be = bird makes 50 quid so we get £25, so we are getting ripped off big time .

1500 x £125 = £187,500.00 alot of dosh eh

well looks like a courier job lads will phone and book them this morning will also vaccinate them today they are getting lively and will get them away over the next few days to a weaning section

The BHW this week is full of sales YB BB.

There is no possibility of them being allowed under the present circumstances.

Cannot see how any racing can take place if matters do not improve.

There will be many fanciers putting similar efforts in as oldstrain on our behalf, think more thought by the RPRA should have been put into this matter.

Would be as sick as the proverbial parrot if I was oldstrain.

Will be interesting to see just how the OLD BOYS BRIGADE deal with it.

Would not bet on a reasonable outcome.

Regards.

thanks for the update darren, so have the rpra said racing will go ahead for the one loft ...?

not sure if money left in the syndicate "account" but if not i`ll sort it out with you .

All up in the air I know etc Misty but could maybe work out for the best in the end if people are prepared to just be flexible as such in the way they think. Could even maybe race old birds & young together like we have been doing down here for over a 100 odd years.

the last time i spoke to the rpra about paying for my 2029 auction bird it sounded like a foreign call centre ............she didnt have a clue what she was doing, so it makes you wonder .

yes david its a absolute joke ...just vaccinated ybs and they are pukka if i do say so myself alfies famous 5

Dummies hire dummies or they themselves would be exposed as dummies.

What can you expect from the Old Brigade.

Regards.

tbh its been a real eye opener for me with the rpra ...have been phoning for 3/4 days once per day and not 1 answer to any of my questions ,awful organising by this lot ...it needs sorting out ,i could do a better job myself i really could ,this lot will lead us into oblivion they clearly only have their wages at heart and certainly are not there for the fancier himself

Think their is £33.00 left in the account not sure will check so that will help a little with the carriage but well done to Darren again for taking the trouble to sort it out thanks

dont worry about it mark its all sorted if we get a race then stick it on one of our birds in the final if we get there
