If Racing Starts And P P E Is Required

[REDCHEQHEN]

I have made a few face masks for personal use, and I always use latex gloves when I bath the dog and buy them by the box of 100 - but see they have increased from £3.99 to £14.99 when you can get them,as PPE looks increasingly likely to be required, should we be responsible for ensuring we have our own, or do you expect others to provide it?

marigold gloves would be better option you can reuse them same with masks reusable ones would be best

I think you should get it yourself tbh nobody is forcing you to race...just like ets rings etc you need them to race so ye buy them yourself

[andy Burgess]

i think you , yourself should provide cover .its your responsibility after all . however , if your club passed a rule, and enabled it to be cheaper if bought in bulk i would go with that also .

Not everybody will be at the clubhouse, those at risk and advised not to leave the house will be relying on others to take their birds, only a few will be putting the birds through, there will be no double handling if birds, no swapping about - my own club has 18 members - 2 new members this year - we have loads of members at high risk by age or poor health, the majority will not be racing if they don't get any help, myself included

[THE FIFER]

see in the papers a woman making masks out of her old bra.s

Yeah I still believe if your at the club house handling pigeons or whatever it is the fanciers responsibility... I'll happily pick up fanciers pigeons and I'll be wearing the correct PPE for me to do so

historically thats how the first masks were made FIFER .

[Kyleakin Lofts]

The individual should ensure their own safety, however, it could work out cheaper if bought centrally and there could be an argument for individual Clubs to ensure the safety of its Members.

I got my own mask and I could easily wear gloves and help out at handling the birds or clocking

[hotrod]

Not too sure about handling birds going to a race with rubber gloves on birds feathers will fly out of them . Gel between fanciers birds would be my choice .

[Walter swanston]

Sounds quite a leap that the administrators of pigeon clubs should be held responsible for the safety of their members surely it is up to fanciers to be responsible and take the necessary precautions.

[JCN]

Clean hands policy is best wash them often. Sanitising wipes could be useful for clocks and equipment, touch points ie doors, basket handles etc but gloves are waste of time IMO

[bibendium]

Overkill and sensationalism by some

 

if you want to wear a mask do so its your choice therefore your responability.

 

Social distancing is a must and easily done

 

All clubs would need to provide is hand washing facilities imo

[paddymac]

Responsibility should be the fanciers to supply PPE if they are taking their birds to the club house at marking.

I’m not sure of gloves too but members can bring hand sanitizers so after handling pigeons or clocks use them.

What about using 100% cotton gloves, can be washed if required after every basketing night. As Stuart said, feathers will be pulled using latex gloves. Some guys can’t handle birds correctly without even using gloves.

Got to be better than rubber gloves for handling doos John

[geordie1234]

Simple handgel and washing in between each fanciers pigeons with a mask on would be suffice

Bought some hand gel from hyper drug and also their hand sanitiser. Meditech has also made their own gel. Both companies formula is recommended by the WHO.
