Dear All,
Following the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II, I sent a request to Buckingham Palace to ask if HM the King would continue as Patron of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association. Today I have received a letter stating that this request has sadly been declined due to his Majesties workload.
Therefore, please ensure that any reference to the HM the King or the Royal Patronage is removed from any letterheads or advertising we send out.
Regards
Chris Sutton CEO

As soon as PETA got their hands on the kings birds at Blackpool that spelt the end of his patronage, “workload” was a back door way of getting rid of a potential “hot potato “king wrote: Tue May 07, 2024 5:43 pm I wonder who else will lose it? The RSPB should be one and the Royal Mail should be another.

It was posted late yesterday so I presume that the offices were closed and Chris must have sent it through to organisations that have the Royal patronage or something to do with it, as I see on the NFC website where it says Patron it’s been replaced with “TBA”

No, the CEO says they can still use the “Royal” but they have to remove anything that quotes the King on it

With much regret this request has sadly been declined due to the Royal family's workload.
It is our understanding that this does not affect the title Royal Pigeon Racing Association, but we should ensure that any reference to the King as the Royal Patron is removed from any letterheads.

This is more bad news for pigeon racing, i fear in the long term.
There are 62 million people in this country and less than 20 thousand involved with pigeons (incl all unions) it has been my experience that the General public are not in the slightest bit bothered whether pigeons are predated or how to repatriate them when lost, the debt owed to pigeons in the past has long since been forgotten about, imo it no longer matters who is patron as nobody not involved could care less.
As has been said before just get on with it while you can.
