Try telling that to some of the greats in long distance racing,Rose Wills on here for instance as hopper fed beans in front of the birds all the time,you cant get much better than the results they have put up over the years.

Surely commom sence should prevail here,if the club as not held the AGM then surely he could just rip it up and no one would be the wiser,unless a agenda as been sent out to the other club members showing your resignation then I guess he would have to read it out and then read out your application at the next ordinary meeting,hope youve got no enemies in the club because you might not get back in.

Heard about this a couple of weeks ago,was told it would be out early March.Will have a result programme to take all clocks,plus 3 or 4 other things which i cant remember at present.

Nice one Roland,must say thats one of your best postings.LOL.

Do exactly the same,take them off 4 weeks before the first race.

Interesting to see in the West Midland Region notes that they are writing to the RPRA to find out if Traps that are advertised as being approved by the RPRA actually are,also asking the RPRA council to clarify the rule which says,The anttennae of the ETS must be fitted within the confines of the loft or trapping system,not underneath external landing boards.Sorry but to me its straight forward enough.

What is the exact wording of the rule as this is what its down to.

Not quite as long as me then (but thats beside the point)perhaps you can tell me though how a ten year old os map can have house and garden boundaries on it when the houses are only two years old.Bye the way it wasn,t me either who said that distances were taken to the middle of the garden.

This is not correct as I mark members lofts in our club and I try to mark the exact spot on the map where a loft is,it can sometimes take a while trying to work out where boundaries etc are and even in some cases the house might not even be shown,but I still do my best to mark the exact spot.

You dont have to live with it Ben you need to ask your club secretary to remark your loft,just think you may win a big race and then be disqualified for not having the correct distance,as I said before you are cheating yourself and your fellow clubmates.

Which one is closest to the racepoint,as you are either cheating yourself or your clubmembers.

Any explanation Ransom.

If you get in touch with the person who is in charge of your local NFC clock station and tell him your situation he may say that he will allocate the rings for you,its worth a try,I know I would if someone came to me and asked.Where exacly are you suituated or if you tell me which marking station and clock station you will be using I will give you a contact number.

I,m afraid not it,s usually done by your club sec,or whoever does the ets in your club,as you say your club doesn,t have ets so it could be a problem.

Ask the guy if he registered the unit with his local region if he did you will have to change it,the rings if he used them will be issued to his birds and be inside the clock so its probably better to buy new rings unless someone will delete them from the clock,but then you will have to get someone to allocate them to your pigeons.

I run the Unikon software on Vista and have no problems at all,as for downloading software updates I think when the last lot came out this time last year all club secs,were sent a disc with them on.

I,VE had no problems at all running Unikon with vista but with Bricon I have to turn off the user accont control until I,ve finished.

Try going into user accounts and turn it off while you are running the software,I have to do this when running the Bricon system.

J0E,I see that you are again saying that it is breaking rules to remove the tape on the ring,I have asked you a few times to quote me the RULE,still no answear,another question are you prepared to say in what club or clubs and in what Feds this practise is happening.

I asked for the rule number that says that I cant take the tape off the ring.

Could you just remind me the number of the rule which states you cant take the tape off,just in case.LOL.

TAKE THE TAPE OFF AND HAVE A LOOK,WORRY ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCIES AFTER,THATS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN OUR CLUB.

The fact that I am secretary of the club says I can stop him because the bird is carrying a young bird ring and he is trying to race it in a old bird race,wether the y/b ring is taped or not I would still stop that bird from being entered and take my chances wether I was taken to task or not,BUT THAT BIRD WOULD NOT GO.

Well he wouldn,t send one in our clubs old bird race with a young bird ring on wether it was taped up or not I,ll guarentee that,unless it was a trainer or a any age race.

Exactly as I said at the beginning of this thread and would of thought any club sec or anyone on a marking committee would have said the same.
