Yes, well done Held. Sounds like you are on ur way now mate. Did you get any acknowledgement from the Rpra yet?
If you can, try to accompany one or two of your new clubmates to the Blackpool show mate. You'll really enjoy it and its right on ur doorstep, and it will give you a great insite into the world of pigeons. (I'm not going this time so wont get thr opportunity to say hi)
But in any case, you will get all the help and info you need from the fabulous guys on this site.
Keep us posted how things progress and let us know what birds you get.

Thanks Dave I’ve not heard back yet the secretary of the club said he will speak to them for me something about needs to come the loft I’m guessing to get coordinates or whatever. Yes I’m planning on going to Blackpool mate said to wait and see if I can get a deal on a ETS there. Yes going to keep everything updated on here pics of loft and birds etc.

Its not down to the club Held - its up to you to apply to become an individual member - so now you can see for yerself what a waste of space they are.!
Not saying anymore.
Its up to you of course but you should be able to get a better deal than than you would at Blackpool for a 2nd hand ets.
There are so many ppl giving up, I have just obtained an almost new Unikon system for a young lad just starting out which he was given for nothing.
You have plenty of time yet to look for a deal if you dont want to pay for a new sysrem.

Might be best to have the same as most in the club
I have Unikon as my fed combine and nerd marking now seem to be 90 per cent Unikon
Plus worm on here is a expert on Unikon and helps loads of people with problems
I couldn’t say what ones best though my friends just moved to benzing so he can allocate his own Pigeons in his club
Glad you got in a club ok
Yes they’re also unikon so just keeping my eye out for one. No doubt I will have questions if no manual with the one I buy. Any particular unikon you’d recommend been offered a champ with 4 pads £600 practically brand new.
I just paid 400 for one with 2 pads 5 years old so probably a fair price mate
I think if you go on the Unikon web site they have a Manual on there
Thanks Neil I’ve also just got one with 2 pads and had manual with it just need to buy some rings, wheres the best place to get them?
