Probably because he,s got one.

As they say you pays ya money and takes ya chance,some of those birds would have cost hundreds years ago and I suppose with old hens being moved they could become in fertile.

This is not the same stuff as Adam is talking about is it.

Had one just the same some years ago,was it made by Homestead lofts.

Does it say for pigeons as well then.

Just give your pocket clock to who ever as the computer with all the members birds on,they will change any details on there and then transfer to your pocket clock.I allways ask my members to give me a list of any birds they want taking off the system or any that need to be altered at this time of year ready for the new season.

Very interested as to why you say the above is tosh,surely they would have evidence that it does what it says, or else they could be in trouble if someone proved different.

ITS not those numbers its usually after where it says CHAMP.

Should be a sticker on the underside of the base.

Should have a number after it,eg.500.

If you allready have the base make sure its the one that will take the pocket clock as it may have to be upgraded,just a thought.

Wasnt it Peter Scudamore,think there is was over in Ireland as well.

Leighton Rees,Steve Chalkley top dart players.

I,m not on the council Tony so I cant answear that perhaps if you write to them they might be able to tell you,but I see that they are doing a full review of the rules over the next few months so perhaps you will have your answear then.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion,if thats the way you wont to look at it,allthough this is off topic,with ETS they were advised by their solicitors that they could be in serious trouble if they didnt bring it in,weather you believe that again thats up to you,dont know where the trapping systems come into it.

You may not think so but the RPRA council think there is, what about the video that was shown to the NEHU showing someone manipulating one of these types of rings other peple must think theres a problem as well.

If there was a problem that needed solving before the AGM are you saying that the council could not deal with it without mandating its members first.

They are no different than anyone else THEY do what THEY think is right.

The council have changed many things in the past when they think it is the right thing to do.

They will after Sunday.

The council meeting was held on 30th october so the above is no longer applicable.

Foreign rung birds are not allowed in the RPRA 1 loft race.

Dont usually keep past copies of the RPRA rules but I have looked back in the ones I have and cant find anything about not be able to use plastic rings, only thing I can find which might cover it is rule 97,"The council has the authority to designate the size,shape,Composition,type and quality of ring which shall be issued by the association," but this covers rings issued by the RPRA I would think, anyone know of another rule which might cover it.

Woman in our local health shop told me 1 pint of milk to a tablespoon (I think) of cream of tartar,but I managed to find a shop that sold it,used it for quit a few weeks but couldn,t really see it was making any difference,not bothered with it since.

The article is certainly not a hoax but weather its the same person is a different matter.
