then surely the way forward would be to get a membership base to form a new union, however if they dont reconise some ring they distribute then it would be hyprocitical not to recognise a new union
yes as they do all other rings , i have flown welsh birds scotish birds nehu birds all not my union but as long as im the registered keeper then they can compete , they wont be reported to the R.P.R.A but to a new union
The R.P.R.A will bury it's head in the sand till its too late im sure as long as big studs like Louella buy rings from them they will not change. Im supprised that above organisations have not printed there own rings long before now
I suppose Les that if the existing Unions werent open to it then a restart would be in order, as long as a bird is registered to the keeper then it could have any wording on it , as long as the union existed and if enough demand for it then i'd be willing to start it , with help from other like thinking members. As for pulling out that would take ten years or untill all your existing birds had new union rings on, but over that time if the new union were to grow they would seriously loose revenue and cease to exist. Or the existing rings could be put on the members information.
I have thought about rings now for sometime , and i think the n.e.h.u way is best , RPU (Racing Pigeon Union )then initial E for England W for Welsh S for scotland I for Ireland then the next 3 initals for area , and rest numbers , this would help in starting stray centers ectra
that is my suggestion have the rings GB, N.E.H.U, N.W.H.U, S.U, Welsh, I.H.U ,N.P.A but bring them in to one governing body , one headquaters for all and one union . Everyone can still have there national rings.
