THAMES GOLD RING RACE

2022

GUARANTEED PRIZE MONEY PAY OUT OF £4,400!

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs R Hume winning £1,500!


We are again running our Gold Ring Race for 2022.
Open to all BICC members to buy.
Race: Saturday 10th September 2022 - BICC Falaise YB.
Rings are available to order now at £10 each (max 10 rings)


Our back up plans in case we do not get channel racing with YBs or any racing at all (dependent on the changing info we receive over the next few weeks/months):
1. If we only have inland racing and this looks like it may continue into 2022 the Thames will put a race on from the South West as an Inland race in 2022 at around 200 miles to Essex, which will be for the Thames Open Race, Gold ring and Breeder/Buyer.
2. If no racing is allowed for the YBs at all in 2022 than all the prize money for both the Gold ring and Breeder Buyer will roll over to a yearling race with the BICC. Race point to be decided when we have better information as could be race 2 or maybe better as a latter come back race from Le Mans for example, if the pigeons have not been raced at all as YBs. (This is our preferred option). 


Drug Testing & Diseases

The committee would like to draw everyone's attention (Thames N&EC FC as well as Breeder Buyer and Gold Ring participants) to RPRA rule 199 and Appendix G in the RPRA 2022 Rules relating to drugs which I have attached.

Please can everyone also be vigilant for fat eye (highly contagious), sickness and other diseases. Marking station markers can turn pigeons away if a disease is suspected.
