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.
