Lerwick Rescheduled

The NRCC Committee held an emergency meeting this evening following serious concerns raised by both our Weather Advisor and Convoyer regarding conditions forecast for the upcoming Lerwick race scheduled for Saturday 4th July. After carefully reviewing detailed weather reports for Saturday and the days that follow, forecasts show persistent rain and strong westerly winds, with the jet stream remaining firmly in place, meaning conditions are unlikely to improve throughout the week. With the welfare of our pigeons as the absolute priority, the Committee has made the difficult but necessary decision to 

Lerwick race POSTPONED by ONE WEEK. 

NEW RACE SCHEDULE

• Marking: Wednesday 8th July

• Liberation: Saturday 11th July


Following this decision:

Paper Entries and PigeonOnline entries will remain OPEN until 10pm on Sunday 5th July for members still wishing to enter.

Members who have already entered pigeons but are unable to race on Saturday 11th July due to prior commitments will receive a full refund. We understand this decision will disappoint some members, however the safety and welfare of the pigeons must always come first.

 NRCC NEWS

Dear Federation Secretary,

To help us plan ahead and stay aligned with NRCC members, the following will apply from the Arbroath race onward:1) Federations must book in birds within the same deadlines and under the same rules as NRCC members. Please note that you will be invoiced for the number of birds booked in, even if some members later choose not to send or reduce their entry.

2) A copy of each member’s vaccination sheet must travel with the birds on the transporter, in line with APHA rules. Please ensure members bring this to the Marking Station when entering birds for their first race.

3) Federations will be invoiced after each race. Please ensure payment is received by Ian Bellamy before the next race; otherwise, your members will not be able to send birds.

4) Birdage will be charged at NRCC birdage prices plus 50 pence extra per non NRCC bird

5) Don’t forget, if your members fly more than 475 miles from Lerwick then they can join the NRCC!
