Isn’t there a fee to transfer the rings that’s higher than a normal transfer if you want to race them or another person race them in a race under Rpra rules
I’m sure that came in as loads in London use to buy them but stopped 4 or 5 years ago

I guess they must have
I was a dual member RPRA/NWHU for many years. I resigned from the RPRA just before the price increase. I saw no point in paying £35 when the NWHU was only £5. Your right there is a fee/TAX to race under RPRA rules, but since I give most of my YBs away, the 30p fee is a small price to pay for getting a bird for free.NeilA wrote: Tue Sep 03, 2024 11:24 am Isn’t there a fee to transfer the rings that’s higher than a normal transfer if you want to race them or another person race them in a race under Rpra rules

Another way of looking at it is RPRA club rings cost are around 27p at their cheapest with club discount, so using a cheaper NWHU ring takes 7p off the RPRA fee/TAX, so fee is now only 23p.
Also if you are an RPRA individual member the RPRA your rings are 63.9p each. So using a NWHU ring and paying the fee/TAX you actually SAVE 13p.
