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.
Race Programme
Race programme can be found above. Updated 13/07/26.
- We have been advised that Yeovil is unavailable for race 10 due to a music festival so we have had to change to Weymouth.
- There will also be just 1 race now on 8 August from Yeovil. Stoneycross has been cancelled due to logistics. Therefore race 22 Yeovil will now feature in the averages.
2 Races have had to move to Sunday races, these are race 2 and race 26. The marking for these two races will be Saturday and the pick up times will start at 5pm for Colchester. - Birdage is 75p per bird + 50p per member.
- Guernsey Birdage & further information TBC
- New for 2026 - overall member average
- Please read the information at the bottom of the race programme.
Averages & Ace
06.08.26: Please see attached the results of the 2026 Ace Pigeon Old Bird. I had agreed with the Sponsors that the Ace Pigeon would work on a points system 1-30 (1 point 30th - 30 points 1st).Unfortunately I didn't pass this information onto the membership which has ruffled some feathers so please accept my apologies for this, as some thought that it was running on a points system 1-10; when Tony Meader ran it. I have therefore spoken to the sponsors and they have agreed to a Ace 10 Pigeon and Ace 30 pigeon for Old Birds.
Ace Pigeon 30
1st D. Wilton & Son GB23D38733 = 145 points
2nd J. Hobin GB25A11384 = 124 points
Ace Pigeon 10
1st J. Hobin GB25A11384 = 36 points
2nd D. Wilton & Son GB23D38733 = 33 points
To clarify, there will only be a Ace 30 pigeon for Young Birds (no ace 10 pigeon).
If there are any higher claims, please submit them to me within 7
Well Done to the winners
