As far as I was aware they were NE and AB rung birds. If one had your stamp on it I cant explain that but your original post gave the impression that all strays must be sent to the stray centre. By the way the stray centre don't always check wing stamps either. I still await your apology for saying our federation ignore the SHU stray centre and who the "so called fanciers" are. As for your statement regarding sending AF birds to Blackpool (or Portsmouth as you stated on other thread), I think we will just ignore that.

Don't usually get involved in this stuff but as you are criticising my club and federation I feel I must respond. 1. I know who the fancier was and commend him for helping get birds back to their lofts as soon as possible. He asked if any other members had NE or AB pigeons to bring them to him as someone was collecting them 2. There is a stray crate on our transporter every week but we don't get that many strays up here from south of us. 3. If the strays had been sent on our transporter they would have been delivered to the stray centre on Sunday (the day we were racing). I don't think Aberdeen and North of Scotland Federations go to the stray centre until they are racing from Arniston. (Aberdeen are there this week). Therefore the pigeons would have been at the stray centre for a week when they were in fact back in their lofts. 4. Our members often meet the N o S lorry on the A90 to hand over strays or collect our birds which have gone north. Are you seriously suggesting that every bird should be sent to the stray centre where it could sit for a week before being collected. Because we now have the SHU ring list pigeons can be returned to their lofts much quicker than they used to be. I see Wuldon has released an AB doo in Aberdeen today. Would you rather he sent it to Broxburn on Saturday? 5. I would like you to name who you are referring to as "so called fanciers". Some of the best fanciers in Scotland are members of my club and if you are referring to any of them I am sure they will be most annoyed. I don't think we would go running to the SHU but an apology on here will be the least expected. Rant over. David Liddle (Secretary Forfar RPC and Angus Federation)

Sorry I cant. Would have to connect laptop to system at club. Just tried it on a member that is not using ETS just now. I am sure it would print the zeros though

Just tried to add an IHU ring as an experiment and it includes the zeros. The only way to remove them would be an upgrade by Unikon. I think thats what happened when it did it with the SU rings

Which system is it? We use the Profi and the ring numbers are ok. I think it used to show zeros years ago but not now
