The Fancy are reminded that to prevent ring tampering, it has long been the case that RPRA registration rings on birds entered into races are made with metal inserts. Council considers that rings made wholly out of plastic or similar material without a metal insert to be “unsafe†for racing. At its meeting on 30 October, Council resolved that, before the start of the 2010 racing season, the Fancy be reminded of what constitutes an acceptable registration ring: Birds entered into races must be rung with a registration ring that has a metal insert integral with the ring and is otherwise compliant with RPRA rules. This is not a “new†requirement but merely a timely reminder to the Fancy should you currently be considering purchasing birds. It is to ensure fair competition in racing. so reading between the lines am i right in sating belg rings were all plastic this year and were breaking rpra rules :o :o
