No George
It starts when the rings come out so you can buy them in December they auction starts weekly on a what’s app group late feb to late April
When your birds ready you just send the info they auction them on WhatsApp so you see the bids
The person then arranges courier and the nrcc transfer the rings to them direct from the nrcc
The race is Berwick in September

So you only ever buy the ring max of 5 at £5 each
They split the prizes into two section so wind on the day doesn’t rule half the members out then you get a share of the prize money
They get about 350 rings sold a year

I've been on the NRCC website Neil and can find no reference of this anywhere which I thought a bit odd as it looks an impressive venture by them. I've spoken to Lee and we're up for 5, so keep me in mind please
