Sending birds for fun on race day!.

[Guest Mav]

Can anyone tell me if they have ever sent birds for fun with a club on race day?, if not do you think it would it be possible for me to do this if i was to pay to send my birds.

 

Cannot see me having everything i need for this new race season.

yes ya can mate they call them spare birds they are 50p each bird at our club, but some clubs dont allow it

You will need to ask your sec if they'll accept them as trainers but they will still have to be rubbered and you will need to provide vaccination certificate for them.

sure you can mate in my club you can send as trainers

It depends on the club Mav, if your meaning what i think you are - You can send them just as trainers providing the club permits it - Around our way though you tend to pay the same - Would be much easier for you to join the club though as for what you pay you will get the chance to clock and also other little extras such as distances etc.

 

As well as that you would have to be a member of the RPRA to send trainers regardless so joining a club is defo the easiest way.

 

If your along the other meaning and that is just to enjoy the birds and relax whilst waiting etc on a race day ....  Yeah defo, nothing can beat sitting in the garden on a nice day with some beers and friends around to watch the birds also.

Thank you Vallance, Sounds great.

 

Dont think its a problem joining any off the 3 clubs here where i live as you know.

 

Think i will have to make my mind up on which one.

 

I tend to learn towards the one we went to on Sunday as there are more faces i know.

 

Can you see any problems with that club Vallance?.

 

Thanks, Mav.

get yourself down the club handle the lads birds the banter should be good  and I'm sure the lads will learn you a trick or two we all started off with little knowledge

I sent my pied hen as a trainer at a local club open race 100mls for prep for a channel race, I was informed that the race turned out to be a  bad one, she would have won the race, many did not clock.

You were breaking RPRA rules then and you and your club could have been suspended.Thats if your club is a member of the RPRA,other Unions may except it not sure.

You can't send unrung birds to races - full stop - breaks all rules - DEFRA regulations not adhered to for starters (vaccination sheet requires ring numbers)

I would take a visit to each club on a Saturday during the Old bird season and see how things are in each club - The big advantage with the south road in Spalding is they do group training in the week so you can get a good chuck in for very little expense.

 

Another factor to consider with the club you join Mav is with regards to you working on a Friday night if you were to race  you would not only need to get your birds to marking but also some representative there as some clubs can be funny about leaving birds there etc - This should be considered as to which club is most willing to accomodate your circumstances.
