I think it is time the Federations and Combines stood up to the RPRA and started setting the rules.
Here in Australia any pigeon with a proper life ring can be raced in any race, apart from the 'special ring' futurity type races. In the big cities there are combine races formed of several federations and dozens of clubs. Thousands and thousands of birds go every week, and all you have to do is be a club member and pay your fed fees.
The RPRA saying you cannot get rings and race your pigeons unless you join and pay us, well that's almost blackmail. It's time for a re think, I would suggest.
