Dont know the exact radius but id say first youngbird race of the season about 1300 pigeons raced give or take. We just got 5 new members this year in our combine so it got a little bump up in numbers which is good.

For us Called RV is a collection of clubs which i thought is a combine in the UK
Then we have something called FG which is also on every race and is basically a list for everyone who transported and liberated together in the same area
Then there is RegG Which is regional group basically a collection of the RV's in a given area.
And then we have ReG which is the whole regional.

If i just look at the first Race with a price list for all of them the sizes of each are following

RV Was 23 fanciers 574 birds
FG was 82 fanciers 2073 birds
RegG was 104 Fanciers 2703 birds
Reg was 185 Fanciers 5121 birds

So you could have won 4x1st on 1 race if you did manage to win the 1st in the Reg. but not alot of people in germany do doubles and would just count it was 1st.

No a collection of clubs is a federation in the uk a collection of federations is a combine . Some federations are not in combine some will send 3500-5000 birds as federations
Other federations are small due to small radius or decline in membership
So a Rv would be a very good club here mine has 13 members but you say a RV is a collection of clubs ?
fG would be like a fed
A combine would be a mix if the other two or in many cases twice the size

If a RV is a collection of clubs with 23 members how many members are in a club ?
