HOW DO I GET STARTED IN RACING? BY DJ

[DJ]

hi  i started keeping pigeons last summer after a stray came into my then garden shed and it decided to stay for good,another stray was given to me shortly afterwards and theyve since gone on to breed youngsters,i now have a shed full of racers some of them gifts as yb,s and the rest are more strays,ive now joined the rpra so that i can ring my yb,s and was wondering if its possible to join a local pigeon racing club as a honary member just to meet other members and to see if  pigeon racing is my cup of tea as i worry so much about my pigeons even if they go missing overnight and dont know if i could stand the stress of losing them,anyway it would be good to see how it all works at a club and would be grateful for any advice as to how i can go about joining a club even if only on a temp basis?               debbie

Are there any fanciers local to you? If not contact the RPRA and ask for a list of local clubs and contact the Secretaries. What part of Sussex are you?

If you contact the RPRA through their website http://www.rpra.org (make sure you give them your full address and post code). They should get back to you with your nearest clubs, and their contact details. All the best
