still £5 a member rings 20p each rpra was £35 a member last yar

Think i will join up, thanks for info George.

This year was an increase to £18 for none flying members in the RPRA, disgusting rise in my opinion, that is why I never renewed my membership

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

[NeilA]

Just checked it’s 30p a ring
So that’s why London fanciers stopped buying them as it made a ring more expensive to buy than the Rpra ones if you want to race them under Rpra rules

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.

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.

How much is a Nwhu ring plus the transfer fee ?

[NeilA]

Just looked it up 20p for nwhu ring
Transfer either 30p or as Stephen says 20p makes it 40p or 50p a ring to race it in a Rpra race , so for a racing loft in the Rpra area it’s not worth it
