many happy faces tonight?  ted

[TERRY JOHNSON]

Yes Hyacinth, I got the same message from pipa, good news eh, I hope defra will let us out. !

[mealybar]

I got the same email, havent been able to confirm or deny the news though.

RPRA have a meeting with DEFRA 23rd May, if every other country is racing from France I cant see how they could justify not allowing us go over too; but....

[Pompey Mick]

If Mary Couglan,the Irish Minister of Agriculture, has said that Irish pigeons can race under license from England from May 17th she must have been in contact with DEFRA to make such a statement. If this is so then DEFRA can raise no objection to UK fanciers racing from other EC countries due to this relaxation of cross-border restrictions.

Would have thought RPRA would have put out the good news about France opening up their borders for racing I wonder if they know yet lol

 

THEY ARE USUALLY ON THE BALL WHEN IT COMES TO THE LATEST NEWS,PERHAPS THE REASON IS THAT IT,S JUST ANOTHER LOT OF EARSAY.
