vanlink i think theres a lot of truth in what you say the bhw is really just an advertising paper for people to get rid of their c*** just take a look at last few weeks it would be frightning to add up total birds for sale and how many are packing in, the rpra ought to have an online forum and helpline and move with the times. it wont be long before one club takes that first important step and breaks away.

looks like a hen to me mate although picture could be clearer

well put mate its hardly going to encourage new members into the sport is it i dont mind paying if it was for benifit of the sport and things were getting done but it appears that we are stuck in reverse and the people at top are not doing anything about it, in fact i can see that in near future there will be a move away from rpra as people will buy rings from elsewhere and the big clubs will stand on there own without being governed by the rpra the technology is there for this to happen and it only takes one club to take the leap forward and it will take off bigtime

yes the garage will be on your right as you pick the A5 up i will be in a silver citroen berlingo pm me your mobile no just in case of any problems

ok mate see you there

membership £3.50 rings 15 pence each and no you dont have to register them with rpra unless they change it when ring sales go down. its ridiculous that as an individual member of the rpra you pay more to buy rings direct from them than you do if you buy them via a club can anyone tell me the logic in this? ps it does not matter how many you order they are still more for an individual member

Stuart charity begins at home! its high time monies raised at blackpool be ploughed back into the sport there are several ways it could be used eg for running our own courier system for repatriating lost birds or regional stray centres, publicity and new starter kits the list is endless, but no we would sooner spend it on someone having a jolly in blackpool or even abroad at the big shows in the meantime lets put the subs up due to lack of members apathy rules ok

even though i have to pay £3.50 to transfer them i still save money and as from now i am buying rings from nwhu as a protest at the way the rpra run things maybe if we all voted with our feet it would waken them up out of the dark ages

thats fine by me whereabouts? if your coming down the m69 i can meet you at garage on the a5 by the hinkley knight pub

as already stated theres going to be a lot of partnerships reverting back to a single name so only one loser thats the rpra, my forms on its way im not paying £24 when simply changing name means i only pay£8 very well thought out by the stick in muds heads in sand brigade at the rpra, the way forward is a single charge per loft not per name and the charge to include all services for free in my club at least another 2 partnerships are going to do the same so rpra is losing money not gaining

Blueron sunday would be best for me as hopefully going to telford show sat wheres best for you?

Theres a couple of birds here if you want them and we are not far from you,i live in Atherstone warks could meet you halfway if you want me to. let me know via this thread all best stan

Klaus you just make sure you look after them and get the younger ones broke out i want to see your name on the result come the channel races ps the old blue hen looks well on the photo you took she looks like a young one kind regards stan

Owen if someone off this site is going to doncaster and is coming past here ill meet them and get a cockbird to you that mate, why dont you put a seperate post up asking the question and we can take it from there all best stan

hi folks base of the birds bakes has had are busschaerts with a little bit of janssen in them all my birds have to fly the channel as yearlings no room for sentiment here i dont have an oldbird in loft that has not been over the water, i have got some kirkland and staddon blood as well just that when bakes picked he chose the busschaerts and i gave him the mealy cock who is a van reet all best to everyone and bakes get the pictures up

where you from patty sure i can help you out all best stan

depends on the family some develope faster than others once there ranging well and going off for about an hour get them in basket thats way i do it no hard and fast rules some years there quicker than others at getting into the sky and away

dont forget mums the word on the mealy pmsl

Klaus i meant what i said today the flighty cocks yours if hes here at end of next oldbird season, you sure know how to pick them

fletch i am well happy with birds bred off the pair from your dad they were very consistent always in first few home which is what i look for got high hopes for 1 cockbird he really fits the bill as far as im concerned ps bred 6 got 5 of them that tells me all i need to know all best stan

Its a pleasure being able to help someone out with the birds especially when you can see that they are genuine and appreciate what they are getting, i gave klaus the chance to pick from my youngbird team so that he can break them out and race oldbirds next year if another new starter wants a pair they are more than welcome to come and choose for themselves as i am still over my nest box numbers by 3-4 pairs they have all flew yb program to the coast all best stan

bakes theres a pair here for you of the same lines it was one of those black uns that took your eye just hurry up and get the stock loft built

mine was timing in only bird on day from saintes, can still see her now coming straight as an arrow over dobbies garden centre what a feeling when you know there arnt many about and you get one cannot beat it thats why i prefer the longer races

Your right i am more than happy with them, they are going to my nephew who is just starting up and is only interested in blacks these along with the others he had give him should get him up and running as regards colours we all have our favourites what does it matter as long as you get enjoyment from them all best stan

Josh naturaline is an excellent product as well as long as you give it them regularly, i find that the people who say these things are no good or dont make a difference only use it once or twice expecting miracles immediatley instead of testing it out properly over a sustained time period
