pjc Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 Not just belgium rings but any that do not have a metal insert built into them!
adam owen Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 i think we shouldjust have one ring eg ring number and ets all in one much easyer id say
terry mccarthy Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 so wat happens if you got a loft full of belg racers in your loft and you race under rpra rules does this mean you cant race i havent none myself but no plenty that have :o :o :o
terry mccarthy Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 The Fancy are reminded that to prevent ring tampering, it has long been the case that RPRA registration rings on birds entered into races are made with metal inserts. Council considers that rings made wholly out of plastic or similar material without a metal insert to be “unsafe†for racing. At its meeting on 30 October, Council resolved that, before the start of the 2010 racing season, the Fancy be reminded of what constitutes an acceptable registration ring: Birds entered into races must be rung with a registration ring that has a metal insert integral with the ring and is otherwise compliant with RPRA rules. This is not a “new†requirement but merely a timely reminder to the Fancy should you currently be considering purchasing birds. It is to ensure fair competition in racing. so reading between the lines am i right in sating belg rings were all plastic this year and were breaking rpra rules :o :o
greenlands Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 Reading that it lokks that way Terry. Lindsay
Guest bakes Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 i cant understnd why the rpra would do this the club i be racing in come 2010 go to belgium at least once a year sometimes twice they buy pigeons from the pigeon market as well as yb's from belgium fancier me being one was hopeing to go next time and buy a few from belgium fanciers to try out if they are anygood i would of bred from them to race so look like now any purchased belgium birds you buy now you can only fly them around home and only race there offsprings so basically you be racing un proven birds.
chasey123 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 looks like its tht way ive just bin on rpra news n its on there
Guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 its in this weeks B.H.W. ,as a reminder ,not a new thing this . if you buy any this time you can check club rules may at least then send as trainers . this way youre new birds would not be un-proven?? andy.
jimmy_bulger Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 its confirmed also on pipa site, but also says rpra not only ones to outlaw belg rings
pjc Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 fanciers in belgium will prob put preasure on there union to change the rings as export for them is big business!

gangster Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 listen its easy im gonna send over uk rings to ronny so they will be dual rung as meerkats say simples
jack Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 Belgian rings NO LONGER ALLOWED to participate in English races. We have been informed by a reliable source that pigeons ringed with a Belgian Combiring will no longer be allowed to participate in the English races. The RPRA, the English pigeon fanciers union only allow rings encoated in a metal shell, which means that pigeons ringed with a Belgian combiring wil no longer be allowed to participate in their races. "I just thought that I would let you know that the RPRA are the latest union to rule that rings without metal inserts will not be accepted for races. The 2009 Belge ring is therefore not allowed in RPRA races."

gangster Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 well thats lier market well and truley knackered then......my plans the best if you are ordering of a belgium player send him your own rings so dual ringing them....if u gonna race em remove belg ring or not its easy
rick Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 Was it already an existing rule for 2009 ? If so last years results for young birds are wrong???????
Guest Thunder Birds Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 So how are the combi rings unfit for racing in the UK?! Is someone going to melt them down and then fit then back on?!!!! This is bad for Belgians and British alike! Why were we allowed to race with combi rings in 2009?
Guest bakes Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 so that means also no belgium fanciers aloud to enter one lofts race in uk what about the belgium fanciers that send pigeons over to the like's of rpra yb,yearling races have they got to ring there pigeons with our rings
Guest bakes Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 also what about the drop in sales at lier market national sales dont think the rpra has thought before putting this into action.
