  2. Was it from Fife lol pmsl
  3. http://www.rpra.org/racing-handbook/ring-list-and-pricing/ up to 07 on site you can ring club secs up for who original ring was registered to If you contact R.P.R.A you will only know the last registered owner where you got them off
  4. Sorry to hear Bri , hope you return in the future
  5. I personally think the whole channel racing scene needs a big shake up fewer race points more central then each fed fill spaces up like they would an aircraft a small hub near Dover / docks to swap crates be great
  6. http://www.rpra.org/new-ecotaxe-for-france-01012014/ If ever a piece of legislation will force/encourage Pigeon Fanciers to integrate when racing from France then this will be it. Sending part loaded transporters into France will be a financial mill stone around the necks of anyone who attempts it with yet another additional cost. If there is one thing that gets up the nose of these ecologists is virtually empty lorries travelling on the road, they want to see all vehicles fully loaded and the next step is you will be penalised for part loaded vehicles. The time is getting nearer to be more integrated for Channel racing
  7. cracking set up wish I had more room
  8. Back end of box is used for pre pairing birds , showing hens to cocks on return from racing also where young birds are reared , when hen removed after rearing this is closed off less to clean and motivation for cock hen hen in his box
  9. just to stop snapped flights on these boxes on proper widowhood boxes over the nest bowl side
  10. what size mesh would I use? 1 x 1 inch not from a roll this will come in sheet form do I have to increase height of box from 14" to 18.5"? yes the frame would be fixed to the box right? yes and would be a single 2ft x 14" frame? yes the spar would also be suspended? I used the word suspended to give a clearer picture this will give the mesh some support and allow to fix the bottom block to the mesh
  11. The grills have very little clearance this results in them not been of much use build the boxes as is scrape everyday twice a day or alternatively give them a mesh floor with a gap underneath add a piece of ply which you put underneath the mesh floor to catch the droppings this will give a better height for several days of droppings , the idea is to stop your birds standing in there own faeces as the grills are imo not high enough there a waste of money and hard to clean a mesh floor will allow the droppings to fall through lets say you make a four sided frame with a spar in the middle this you attach the mesh to and the front block to the spar this will be say four inch from the solid bottom of the box giving a 3 inch clearance if frame made from 1x1 , now you can't get in to scrape as box fixed so a false bottom with a bit of ply will give you draw to remove the droppings on ;)so from top of box is i think 14.5 inch then you'd have your mesh suspended floor then a gap underneath with a bit of ply to catch any droppings making the box height in total 18.5 inch
  12. no picture as box are as first made just without the grills just make boxes as is , add a mesh frame to each box bottom with a spar in the middle and enough gap to each bottom so you can slide a false floor , a bit of ply would do then can just slide bottom out for a quick scrape the bigger the gap the less often you need to clean
  13. Ended up giving the grills away , your better having a mesh floor with a removable floor in to clean imo the grills only take about 3 days before needed cleaning they were more hassle than there worth I cut the grills down to fit 14 inch x 12 inch x 2 grills
  14. Down in the zombie bar if you aint already a Zombie change on the right hand side pmsl :emoticon-0167-beer:
