blackdog Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Taken from RPRA website "RACING SUSPENDED IN WALES FOR THE WEEKEND OF 14 - 15 APRIL 2012 Following an outbreak of an undefined virus within a few lofts in Wales ALL the respective Homing Unions have taken the precautionary measure of suspending Racing for this weekend. We hope to resume racing shortly once the outcome of the necessary tests have been received and remedial action has been agreed and taken For more information please contact your local Region or Union officials.

alanjw Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 i think the whu had no option other than to stop racing until they have the results of the cause i think they could have stopped training as well until the results of the tests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoker121 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I went to LIER Market in March this year on the Sunday after the Holland Show in our coach,it has moved now down one of the streets by the river,like everyone else we went and had a look at the pigeons there were a lot of old pigeons this year and y/bs for sale, most of the pigeons were 45 euro, after 10 minutes we went for a beer 10am and watched what was going on, there must have been at least 25 UK Coaches parked up, 3 were from South Wales,UK fancers with baskets full of birds we could not believe it and we told them so, the best part was the wives sat out side the pub with the faces looking like a smacked *expletive removed*, who takes the wives on a pigeon trip,they should have seen the film grand slam, Dont blame the Welsh just look at your own club.
