[PIGEON_MAN]

Just wondering how many new people will be using E.T.S.from the 1st July.

hey pigeon man i'd like to have it but i suppose it depends on your clubmates what if nobody else wants it(or can't afford to have it)will your club then pay for the master system ,also i hear people with ets saying that they've had birds return late and somebody has taken off the ets ring(can these then be used by anyone)

[Williedoo]

 

In Scotland,and I only know about Unikon, the ETS ring has our SHU number on it.

This should stop anyone else using it ,as the people in charge of registering ETS rings in their club should be asking questions if the number is different.

I would love to use it but club wont allow it.I may invest in one next year if i start flying the national on a regular basis.

[PIGEON_MAN]

Thunderbolt,If only one member buys a Bricon system the club eqipment comes free,Ronnie I would check out about your club not allowing it they could be breaking RPRA rules,if your clubs in the RPRA that is.

"WILLING TO USE IT"is the part they got me on i reckon

[carl]

Yes i will be getting ets without a doubt,i just dont know which one to get,bricon is looking and sounding the best to me at the moment.I will be ordering my ets very soon.

... providing the club/organisation has the required equipment and the officials are competent and willing to use it.

well it is a free country I suppose if you won't to race doos and time in electronically feel free if you won't to race your doos and time them in a traditional way join a club with officials that  don't feel comfortable using ETS. Simple everyone is a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our club had a 'gentlemans agreement' that no one would buy/use it until 2008, a good idea I think, good for those who can't afford it anyway.

I will wait until next year 1) because there are still too many grey areas and 2) with so many ybs as im restarting from a new address the rings will set me back a bob or two.

iam at the minute applying for a grant to buy ets for all our members there was a bit of addo at first with some members but when thier found out this was free ( if the grant is fouthcoming ) there all willing to have one it is the next step in timing your birds in just as the t3 improved on the stb clock at least it will give a level playing field i hope !!!!!

Stuart i was also thinking about waiting untill i knew which was the best system but i have decided to go with bricon as its good enough for 85% belgium fanciers it must be good..I know what you mean about the cost of the rings as i have a lot of ybs also,im thinking of getting it now so i can get to know how it all works..
