Good news from Germany.

Talk about anything racing pigeon related here aslong as there isnt a section for it.

I wish i could keep them Niel, i have a pair in Germany. I will bring them over at the end of November, and put them out on loan. I hope to pick up another pair of birds.
I was going to say if you had a couple of pairs the nrcc do a very good gold ring / breeder buyer
Any loft can buy 5 rings max £5 each but only nrcc members buy the young birds

Prizes are split into two sections on the race day so no wind benefit or a limit to the benefit and they race for £35,000
Them things would interest me if I never raced ,cheap to enter and raced by fanciers for you

Yes up this way we have the Bamfords gold ring, but it's all about location location. To be in with a chance.so OLR racing is much better. The birds fly back to the same loft.

Myself and a pal put 5 in and one fancier bought 4 we wanted them split all over the area
Although the 5th ring was 2nd fed in Norfolk last week so a nice start but another 6 races before the main race
