I dont think a club can refuse them if they are passed by your Union.

Thought most Unions had passed the inserts before last season,the RPRA did I know.

Do the Donors get a pm to say that the buyer as paid for the bird or birds.

Most people only buy half a dozen or if you know someone who wants some buy a set between you.There is a advert for them in the BHW dated 15th Jan.page 114.

Cheers Pete thought I was going to have to search through 8000 + names before I found the one I was looking for.

What is the easiest way to find a member who hasnt posted anything up for a while so that I can pm them.

Yes it is a mistake I didnt bid on that lot.

Same thing could happen again its a shame but the sale cant keep going on.

Is this the final bids from last night,if so could you recheck lot 32 as there was a bid of £80 on screen approx 20.45,sorry to be a nuisance.

No problems here arrived Thursday morning as usual,buy them I have mine delivered.

lot 32 £80

Classics Alf.

All electronic clocks have to be tested for a minimum of 22 hours,RPRA rule 225.

This would be fine Duncan, well under RPRA rules anyway as it seems different Unions have different rules

Looks like all the Unions have different rules.

Would it matter if the bird flew out of the trap after it had been clocked or does the bird have to been confined to the loft after it is clocked.

Differant from the RPRA ruling then.

If the bird was clocked when it hit the landing board them the pad must of been underneath the landing board so he was breaking the second part of the rule.

I,m sorry but your wrong,my trap is as follows,imagine a box with open ends the box is fitted inside the loft with the pad fitted underneath it,so the pad is within the confines of the loft,on the back of the box are bobwires so the bird can get into the loft without any of the others getting out,the front of the box is open and is flush with the outside of the loft, a landing board is hinged to this which is dropped down when the bird arrives home it lands on the landing board goes into the box and is clocked in,if it wants to it can then fly back out or go through the bob wires into the loft.

Again your trying to put something in thats not in the rule.

Yes so whats your point.

I have never been able to understand why people have so much trouble in understanding the rule regarding ETS, dont try to find problems that dont exist to me it is quite simple rule 241 says,sThe antennae of the ETS must be fitted within the confines of the loft or trapping systems,that is all it is except where it also says not underneath external landing boards which again to me is straitforward enough,there is NO mention about the pigeon where it should or should not be.

Correct Phil.27th March at the Sobell Centre.Aberdare.

If you only have x amount of boxes and space you really need to cut your team down to suit beforehand,I know it is hard to do but its no use having birds over with no room for them,I have had the same problem on quite a few occasions,you have a good season with not many loses then you end up with to many birds,I,m afraid you just have to be ruthless and cut them down to suit the boxes and room available,alhough I am putting 1 old pair into each of my youngbird sections Idont really think its a good idea as the last thing you want is for the old birds to keep attacking the youngsters when you wean them,I will have to cross that bridge when I come to it.
