Hi Bruno
It makes no difference if the bird is in race mode or not.
I am the club ETS sec so have access to the club database and scanner.
Any ring reassigned will come up with the previous owners (in the case of scotland) loft number you just cancel this.
I have refused to reassign rings because the wrong loft number came up.
I return the rings to the member and ask for written authorisation from the owner, but will all ETS sec / controllers do this ????????
I have had NEW? rings supplied to members with Wales / GB and SU details on them these were rings that were free and came from the Official ETS supplier???????
