2012 Rings.

After some considerable thought, we have decided to get NWHU rings. Considering that the RPRA have now put up their transfer fees to £1.50 per bird. and NWHU are free to transfer.
The NWHU rings are white this year.

£1.50 per bird.....? what a cheek.....it was £1.50 for a sheet full last year, then it went to £2.00 a sheet, now £1.50 a bird...arnt they getting enough out of us already......

I know mate it's disgraceful, especially when you have to transfer a lot of birds. Imagine the expense of the big studs.

if its now 1.50 a bird its beyond a joke...2 quid a sheet was bad enough

It is and that's official mate. Don't they think they get enough out of us.

thanks gary, wonder how they will justify such an increase on price?

Administration, it's a joke.

It's £2 per form. Change of address form is a fiver.

we only pay for the stamps to transfers birds transfer cards are free

That's the same with the NWHU. Plus we get the rings earlier.

i once transfered an nehu pigeon a while ago and it just needed a return stamp, i sent it on the monday, a lady phoned me on tuesday to confim the details and i recieved it back on wednesday........now thats what i call service.


no wonder the rpra have high transfer fees when they are running a buisness with high wages to pay, get rid of the hangers on i say, get it back to being about pigeons and not big buisness, its just a wage and a job to them.

the rpra have noticed how many y/b are being brought

and decided to cash in lol pigs

It needs to be run by fanciers for fanciers, like it used to be.
Hmm wonder if they have any jobs going.

Someone is trying to Get rid of ALL pigeon people.

They have forced us older Pigeon Flyers out of pigeons.
Feed costs are unreal
Club Dues are getting unreal
Shipping fees are unreal.

Pigeon lay EGGS--NOT MONEY

It makes money mate, lots of it.
Next, they will try to regulate the whole fancy.

i think they are already gary...........end of the day the rpra work for the pigeon fanciers, not the other way round.........

We just had to take this into consideration, that's why we opted for NWHU rings instead.
