Chanel Racing 2022

[sapper756]

What are the possibilities of fanciers racing their pigeons from over the Chanel in 2022?

RPRA seem to have had more positive replies to this one. There are still obstacles to be overcome, but they think there will be a good prospect of Channel Racing going ahead.

We will have to wait until the outcome is clear.

There is no point getting in touch with a department not involved in the negotiations, the RPRA are representing all of the organisations, and nothing has filtered down to any of the local offices or other departments, and won't until it is sorted.

The problem for the NWHU is that they are not members of the Confederation and won't know that the RPRA are carrying out this work.

Please note that, as at today, there is still no agreement on the registration process that lofts need to comply with in regard to Channel racing.

We hope that a Defra meeting will be held within the next two weeks, and as soon as we have more information this will be sent out to members, organisations and the fancy press.

I have tried to register my loft with DEFRA - but you now need a CPH (County Parish Holding) number from rural payments according to the paperwork - so I tried to get a CPH number

Rural payments have been in touch with me - last week, and they don't have that facility for racing pigeons

That would substantiate the previous post.
