Not certain which number it is will have a look through the rule book but if you look on the RPRA web site you will see it says there.

Have also found it in the Breed and Wean.

The ruling on plastic rings is not new this as been in place some years,as for the new RPRA ring only time will tell.

Could be as TONY C says Wait until after the RPRA AGM as they did try and change the rule a few months ago so that the pigeon was confined to the loft or trapping system,so this may yet come in.

Yes because the rule says,The antennae of the ETS must be fitted within the confines of the loft or trapping systems,which they are, not underneath external landing boards,which they arent,nowhere in the rule does it mention the pigeon.

I have 4 differant traps with ETS pads fitted, on each one the bird can be timed without being confined in the loft but the pads are set so they are inside the loft,the bird can be timed and then fly off again if it likes but the pads are definatley inside the loft.

RPRA rules say the anttenae as to be within the confines of the loft not the bird.

Sorry but your wrong the bird DOESNT have to be in the shed when timed by ETS.

Its a name that used to crop up years ago but havnt heard anything about him for a long time.

You sure a peregrine hasnt been round the mother.

Yes everything included to get going,you may have to buy the rings.Bricon pads range from £75-£252 depending how big you want.

Cheapest ETS system I believe is BRICON £249 STByou could get one for £25.

Had no problems here but I leave mine logged on all the time dont know weather it makes any difference.

Exactly as I see it.

I,m not on the committee so I wouldnt know,you would have to ask the RPRA that.

The chips from all of the different systems probably do but not the rings.

OSMONDS now sell all the Old Hand specifics they may sell the books as well,

It is the RPRA ring thats being talked about.

"The RPRA Clock and Ring Committee recommend the choice and manufacture of ring to the RPRA Council after exhausive consideration and the usual procurement processes." They are there to do a job weather some members are against any decision they make or not. END OF STORY.

Supposed to be new features to make the secretarys job easier.

Sorry its in the Jan 8th issue page 107.

Yes they have mate if you have the BHW there is a picture of one in there.

Nice one Alf.

Then again there are bop everywhere so what race points can we pick.

There as been a couple of pairs of perigrines on Portland for a few years now BUT STILL FANCIERS CHOOSE IT AS A LIBERATION SITE,MY OWN FED ARE GOING THERE AGAIN THIS YEAR,WE HAVE DONE FOR APPROX THE LAST 3. :-/ :'(
