True     "wait forever" but which is worse talking about eye sign etc as an example or filling the pages here with total tripe about our big international senaro ??? before the big races, come around for all to enjoy. Besides now I wish  to see what pressure the Bristol & especially his little apprentice can stand here .

hes no good under pressure drinking

I went out on the town for a shift after our little get together

markevans is in for 2 also ,thanks for your support mark just waiting to hear from 1 other member now ...if we get all 16 members that's £640 for the prize money kitty and this is what I propose ...£300 1st £150 2nd £100 3rd £50 4th and that leaves £40 maybe £80 if we get the other member involved and I propose a trophy and engraving with the funds that are left ...but of course I am open to suggestions

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm I don't give a **** etc how you spell your name Boosey, your not going to win the big one     because myself & my secret partner are going to do you over like a dinner & then bask in the glory, of having a big International winner ??? to glot over.

oh no its started

True & I think I'm correct ??? in saying the rings haven't even been issued yet etc. Watch out tho the eye sign followers   here as we have a new challenger on the block, that may cause bedlam I'm before the big day comes around.

Daz if we need to ask any questions on the test loft, which way would rather use. Through this thread or by pm, thank you.

you can post on the thread dev ...no problem m8 all members can ask what they like its your test loft your birds your money I am just the manager or $h1t shovel if ya like

Daz i think once the rules of the test loft, have been made clear it will address many peoples questions. If you would rather me wait, until test loft rules have been wrote, that is not a problem, thank you.

its quite simple really dev the prize money is for the last race from hexham 250 miles your bird has to be in that last race to be able to win any prize...entry fee will be end of January and birds to be here before march 16th ...any other finer details then please ask when you want to ask ,theirs nothing to hide so I don't mind you may bring up something I have not considered and indeed may be very useful or need consideration ...its our test loft so we can vote or adapt it as we like that's the reason for putting up its notice so early so we can be well organised for the event

might I add that all racing expenses will be incurred by myself...all vaccination and droppings tests will be incurred by myself as to any medications needed ...all corn and natural remedys I use will be incurred by myself the only thing members have to pay for is entry fee and 100% of that entry fee will go to the prize fund kitty and a trophy and its engraving

Daz thank you for making it clear over loft close date, Do we use our own rings? thank you.

yes dev you can use your own rings or I can provide them its entirely up to the entrants what they want to do ...I use telephone address rings registered to me of course now regards transfers of rings to me I will pay for transfers but members will be asked to send transfer form with entrants details with their bird on arrival unless they are not a member of the rpra and in this instance I wll sort things out for those entrants by breeding them ybs here which has already been agreed ...those ring numbers will be posted on site prior to 16th march

Darren, luckily weve quite a while yet until the test loft, so maybe we can secure some sponsorship from somewhere like we did when graham did it a couple of years ago.....this could go towards corn, which im sure members would be in agreement with.

like I say we`ve plenty of time yet to try organise this, so everyone get emailing pigeon suppliers, corn suppliers or anyone who makes money out of the pigeon world, and offer them free advertising on the site in exchange for their support .......

Darren, just a thought, wouldn't it work out cheaper if members paid 30p or whatever for your club rings, rather than them put their own rings on (at cost), and then pay to transfer them....?

yes it would work out cheaper to use my club rings and I would prefer that I am happy to supply the rings as I need to get some anyway

might be worth considering then eh Darren......cuts the costs down slightly, and makes things a bit easier eh .

yes indeed I would be happy to send rings out...would any members object to the use of my club rings
