i was thinking on the £1.50 been kept as administration charges as they have only opened a letter surely they cant charge a fee for this as no transfer has been made but like kirky says we can transfer them and we're not shu members nor would we had to be to race scotish birds , so its certainly a case of double standards , to be honest what i term the Scotish problem the two nationals , i cant see why members just dont join both unions cos neither of the unions seem to be getting it right , the .R.P.R.A are supposed to be there for the fancier , with most of my dealing with R.P.R.A there fine with rings and distances cant fault them but legalitys of sales ectra they dont want to know and let a few crooks get away with it Join both unions sod the polotics and fly your birds besides saves all the further agravation as when we say it cant be legal what there doing to the fancier , and the fancier doesnt want to take union to court or be branded as a trouble maker some rules are arcaic and need changing and the only sure way is to change is from within , so don't be pointing the finger from the outsude be a doer from the inside pigeon fanciers have enough problems from preditors with falling out for what would be a few ££'s a year
