racing under rpra rules

[Buster121]

Good question there George, sorry I don't know the answer

[Bowbroom]

No

[king]

if a bird is double rung with rpra ring and another union ring to race under rpra do the other union ring need to be transferred to rpra

No but both rings must be the same year and both rings must be in your name.

[king]

so if a rpra member has a double rung bird he must transfer the other union ring even if it has a rpra ring another rip off

What are the 2 rings on your bird George?

[king]

not yet will be on ybs have asked rpra counselor he is not sure on the answer

Can I ask why they need to have 2 rings on?

[king]

i gift out my ybs and as i'm joining nwhu and using there rings some may have rpra rings as well just in case few are left

So your going to put 2 rings on to use them up?

[king]

let me try and explain i will put the new owner ring on rpra i'm no a rpra member so should they not want all the ybs i can keep the yb with nwhu ring and remove rpra ring

I still don't know why they need 2 rings on? You don't need to be a RPRA member to have RPRA rings in your name.

I was a dual RPRA/NWHU member for many years. I am now just a NWHU member now. But I still have an RPRA loft number, as I have birds still rung & registered with the RPRA.
I like yourself am not in a club, I give birds away for others to race for me. The birds I give away are rung with NWHU rings. Last year a fancier asked if he could have the birds for him rung with RPRA rings. I just got RPRA rings from a friend and transferred them to me. I then just transferred the rings I used to the fancier who got the birds.(any left are still in my name and registered in my name with the RPRA) I'm using some RPRA rings again in 2025 as he wants some more birds from me.

[king]

i thought you had to be a currant rpra member to have a 2025 ring in my name so your saying if i buy a pigeon with rpra ring i can transfer it into my name even if not a rpra member





name

YES

[king]

what i was thinking was as i will have nwhu rings and given a rpra ring why not double ring them save £3

How are you saving money using 2 rings?

[Buster121]

i thought you had to be a currant rpra member to have a 2025 ring in my name so your saying if i buy a pigeon with rpra ring i can transfer it into my name even if not a rpra member





name

YES

But to buy rings from RPRA do you not have to have a current membership is that correct
