As far as I am concerned its is a Yes but under certain restrictions, as long as Hyacinth has no objections to these..
1. That every member competing forwards Hyacinth the date of the race in question.
2. That each members replacement ring numbers for only lost or injured birds, be with Hyacinth no later than the Monday prior to liberation. Any later than this and the member in question will be forced to compete with their original listed birds.
3. This race is only a bit of fun and I feel everyone should have the opportunity to compete equally with 3 birds each.
If the nominated race is a difficult or erratic one, most of us might only clock one of our three nominated birds in the club result, if we are lucky and I can't see too many of us timing our nominated 3 birds an hour after the winning pigeon and bringing it to the clubrooms to get it verified. Other club mates would give you too much stick about it.
So I feel to give everyone a fair chance we should all have the opportunity to compete on an even keel with 3 birds each. I have all 3 of our entries still , but still feel that its not fair to penalise others for loosing birds through no fault of their own.
Thats my view on it anyways but I will go with what the majority feels on it.
