just as easy to have a few small strips of paper with time and place slipped inside as ring, than remove a rubber it may have been a 2 day race ectra

heres a response from bricon regarding the life ring been incorperated with the life ring and cheating issues: Cheating can’t be done with the chips (transponder), adding the fanciers data as in Belgium or Holland is possible but again has no security benefit only that the owner of the chip is protected against steeling. Incorporating the chip in the life ring will also give no extra, the chip must be replaceable at any time for 2 reasons: 1 defect of the chip, 2 if you enter in all rings from the beginning a chip the cost for the Fanciers will be 3 to 4 times higher as he only now chips his pigeons that he wants to race, in the other case all pigeons in your loft will carry a chip that can never be passed on to another.

the point im making is if life rings were ordered a season in advance by individual members with transponders , then more rings made would reduce the overall cost, and make it less easier for any removal

maybe the way forward would be that when clubs ordered rings they could order either life rings with transponders and normal without , the only problem would be the compatability issues

your joking i dint hear that , maybe more reasons to have it with the life ring

Damian and i have been waiting near on a week for to pick his two latebreds up come am get yas finger out , thought they wanted the trade but cant respond to there dam emails

once again well done for giving your pigeons to a new starter , i hope they do well for there new owner

people removing rings are sad , and these people of the anti ets brigade should be ashamed of there actions as unbecoming of a true sportsman , i dont have ets just yet but when im happy that all the issues around it have been solved i will gladly install one i have the power supply ready . I try to get all strays that enter my loft nearer to home be it north or south no mater how many rings are on the birds ets and alike , i believe some fanciers have even had adress rings removed before as well . These people should respect other peoples property and treat them as i do as if there were my own .

the ring companys making the transponders would like to do that , but it would make all rings expensive , and if the transponder stopped working it would need to be replaced

alfs bald ? he must comb his hair with a spoon same as me ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

has he tried using internet explorer to access site , i know on some sites arent AOL friendly and i use explorer to access

send him a link via email ?

maybe a bad bookmark ?

3 trees indeed lol

i would also suggest less birds per loft the less respirity but roland would disagree ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i agree see a vet probably will get some baytrill 10% , or whatevers hot for respirity these days , a well ventilated loft and plenty of air flow will keep the respirity at bay , i'd be looking at the ventilation , its no good treating and treating when a few modifications will be the biggest prevention

well i suppose then that just leaves England in fractions i.e nwhu nehu GB i suppose theres some ive missed so if all unions had same rules be halfway there

well whats been achieved by this confederation ????? answers on back of a postage stamp , just another night out for the navy blazer with airforce badge on the pocket

nice point Richard

untill racing pigeons come under one set of rules , one organisation , with a good infra structure we wont become a sport , i suppose we can either aproach our unions with our ideas but i think there doors be shut as ' they be alright jack as long as you want rings and rules ' as they wont want to vanish and be moved or jobless

better to be a partner of a confederation and a going concern than be ate up by one body , whu head office portacabin ? nehu has own property so does gb as for others i dont know , but how do you get all to be one ? all should be in one central location under one set of rules , it would save thousands just on council tax alone, then they could look at transportation, liberation , and look towards fed inland racing and how best to reduce transporters on the road and national channel racing

there may be a confederation of unions but as the rules for each union differ then there is not one set of rules , so the confederation does not give a level playing field for all.Many different rules regarding ets at the moment in each union also thimbless t3s , Scotland not allowed to address stamp there birds , gb supposed to be flown stamped clearly , nehu arent allowed to write there own bird list out if i was to sit down with all these different rules they be hundreds of diffrences

we cant be taken serious till we have one representing body then we will have the foundation for a sport , diffrent bodies different rules ectra. I think we all need to address the need for more than one governing body with our unions , or the alternative is to start a new unions for all but the danger lies in any new organisations rings would not be recognised by the R.P.R.A and im sure not all would welcome a progresive change

well it would be turned down as a sport as we have too many divisons i.e no one set of rules and one governing body , i would love to have it recognised as a sport but the sport council will also be worried about fanciers asking to fund clocks and new stock lofts ectra where would the funding stop ? i know we should state that as a individual sport that no funding would be nessersary from the sports council to premote our sport or fund any members needs
