Genral Licence for Bird Gatherings

In anticipation and preparation that Racing will commence in the very near future we wish to take this opportunity to remind secretaries of the requirements to inform the APHA of the location and details of gatherings (Race marking) at least seven days in advance. Given the race season would have normally started by now, this action should have been completed. However, we feel it is appropriate to remind organisations. Please refer to the Code of Practice at https://www.rpra.org/wp-content/uploads ... l-2021.pdf for more detail. Failure to adhere to this requirement will be breaking the General licence rules. We encourage all members to read the code of practice and ensure compliance. Please note if you have already submitted the information to the APHA when it was assumed racing would have commenced in April there is no need to do so again. The meeting with DEFRA scheduled for week commencing 19th April will take place on the 21st April. Question - How can we submit this information when we don't know when the race season will start ? Answer - Please refer to point 5 of the Gatherings section of the code. Ian Evans CEO

Article in paper  this morning regarding channel racing.
Says RPRA representative is seeking exception for racing  pigeons.

Thinks the sport will collapse if channel racing  is banned.

I know that many fanciers like channel racing but sprinting has been the most involved for quite a while now for many fanciers.

The specialist clubs will suffer most and only a very small percentage of fanciers are involved in those.

Just hope there is some racing.

Regards.

The whole thing gets more baffling by the minute.

You cannot get the latest news.

You would think they would delete that which no longer applies and give 
an up to date account.

As for our great leader, Borris, bless him, has more on his mind than pigeons
