THAMES GOLD RING RACE
2022
GUARANTEED PRIZE MONEY PAY OUT OF £4,400!
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs R Hume winning £1,500!
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.
