Guest TAMMY_1 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 I HAVE JUST RECIEVED AN E-MAIL FROM PETER BRYANT STATING IT IS ONLY A RUMOUR THAT FRENCH RACING IS BACK ON AND WE WILL BE WAITING A WEE WHILE YET.
denner Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 From the RPRA web site STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS 1st JUNE 2006 There is a rumour circulating around the pigeon community that the ban on racing from France has been lifted by DEFRA. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. DEFRA Policy staff have not as yet formulated any recommendation to the Secretary of State for consideration as they have been out of the country on AI related business. There will be no decision this week and any decision will be notified in advance to the Racing Pigeon Unions in the first instance. As soon as we know anything it will hit the streets via the RPRA website and e mail distribution list. For the record, it is unlikely that any racing will take place from France on the 10th June. We have to receive permits from the FCF who in turn have to advise site agents. We already know that organisations will change race programmes depending on when racing from the continent commences. Ferry companies also need to contemplate their bookings and we cannot leave it to the last minute to cancel any bookings for them to sail with empty berths. As and when and if we get the green light please be assured that the RPRA will pull out all the stops to get your organisations into France. Peter Bryant General Manager

Mike Lycett Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 Dunno - heard it off a family relative but the source was good enough. Never mind- it WILL happen
Guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 I think before you try to get peoples hopes up, you should rely on word from RPRA not family gossip
maverick Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 DONT YOU THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE SURE IT WAS CORRECT BEFORE YOU PUT THE POST ON.
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Dunno - heard it off a family relative but the source was good enough. Never mind- it WILL happen WE KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN { SOMETIME }

Guest WINGS 04 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 ANYONE HEARD ANY THING ABOUT CHANEL RACING ?
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 YES WINGS THERE IS NONE AT THE PRESENT TIME
THE FIFER Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 I DO NOT THINK GOING BY THE REPORTS FROM DEFRA THAT THEY ARE KEEN TO LET US GO INTO FRANCE, THEY WERE ON ABOUT BIRDS GOING DOWN FOR DRINKS ETC, SO I WOULD'NT GET UR HOPES UP YET.
Mike Lycett Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Posted June 2, 2006 I was told that the reason we weren't allowed racing last time we met at the meeting was that "we" cocked up on bringing the appropriate paperwork to the meeting. If that IS true then hopefully by the time they meet again it'll be in place..... Ribble - I agree ! Bart - Agree too !!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
PIGEON_MAN Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 I HAVE HEARD FROM A FEW GOOD SOURCES THAT THE DEFRA IN WALES HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS DEFINATELEY NO CHANNEL RACING THIS YEAR INTO WALES,BUT THEN THIS MAY JUST BE ANOTHER RUMOUR.
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 I was told that the reason we weren't allowed racing last time we met at the meeting was that "we" cocked up on bringing the appropriate paperwork to the meeting.

Bart - Agree too !!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D HOPE THIS WAS'NT THE SAME PERSON THAT TOLD YOU WE WERE RACING FROM FRANCE. THE ONLY GOOD SOURCE WILL BE WHEN DEFRA ANNOUNCE IT THEMSELVES.!!!!!!
Pompey Mick Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 Is that the same source that told you we will be racing from France, Mike. As my old Dad said' Only half believe what you see and don't believe a thing you hear'
Mike Lycett Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Posted June 2, 2006 Your Dad spoke words of wisdom Mick !
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 Your Dad spoke words of wisdom Mick ! DID POMPEY MICK SENIOR KNOW YOU MIKE ?
Mike Lycett Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Posted June 2, 2006 Not at all - as far as I know anyway - - but based on Mick's post it seems a reasonable enough assumption.
Pompey Mick Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Have DEFRA relaxed the rules on racing from outside the British Isles? My members keep saying that the BICC is racing from Ireland for their next race which is currently outside the boundaries that have been imposed on us by DEFRA. Is this wishful thinking on the part of the BICC or is DEFRA allowing a partial relaxation of their rules. bearing in mind the statement made by the Irish Minister regarding Irish pigeons racing from the UK.
peterpau Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 So what's the problem? just clocked from Perth.....Last time I sent north 1978
