There is one at rpra, they should have one here in Wales

Perhaps there should be aviary on the end of the portacabin!

What cabin?

I think the WHPU live in one, or used to before they moved to there new location, maybe they've upgraded to a shed now!

Quoted from RoryTheRed

Anyone going to Holland in the near future? I have had my Tarbes International entry reported to me and it is being held at a central holding centre:

Central Hok 17
Nieuweweg 27
1786 PH Den Helder
Eerst Bellen
BGG 06-57101122

Can anyone help with collection?

Ha maybe right, sorry didn't catch on what you meant then pjc, yes I think they still have the cabin, we will have to ask Gail!

the Up North Combine has one

I think All regions or even counties should have a stray centre funded by the unions. the could be someway of moving birds from centre to centre until they reach the members nearest centre where they would be required to collect it from and maybe pay a nominal fee of £5 etc towards food etc.
They could be set up with the money from Blackpool etc.
I havn't been to the WHPU's new office but sure i'll call in at some point for a cuppa!

Thanks Gangster, very grateful

had one in holland myself about 3 years ago and the man to see at the time was Mr Frank Quinlan who collected it and amtracked it to me
At the time it cost around 100 quid which which was the delivery from the back and beyond to Franks contact and he then returned to u.k with it and then amtrack delivered this end.
Might sound a few bob but the bird arrived back in good nick(you would probably add another 30 quid now with all costs going up)
best of luck

If you get the bird sent to Raymond Moleveld then he can send it to me on the next shipment.

look for porta cabin with leaky roof should be fine

Quoted from flighty hen

There is one at rpra, they should have one here in Wales

rpra has no holding pen unless her in doors is now doing it in her new loft

whu moved cabin from barry  to new site its a nice cabin as they go its big enough to hold some strays it is a good idea to have holding pens but the trouble is we dont demand these things for our own benifit

the RPRA did have a holding loft but if they've got rid of it i'm sure there is space to hold strays at there one loft location.
