Hi Everyone - Your pigeons arrived at the release point in Talbenny at around 2.00pm this afternoon They have now been feed and watered and i hope to have a video for you all to see later today. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has assisted the NIPA at overcoming all the problems we have had to deal with regarding Brexit and COVID 19. There were many. It was good to see all the arrangements falling into place this morning The NIPA ,along with its associate federations filled 5 transporters to almost capacity. I hope you all have an excellent race from Talbenny.

I am still confident that we can overcome the many difficulties which have arisen regarding your pigeons entry to France in a few weeks time i will keep you posted.
However I have spoken to the RPRA and Guernsey regarding a possible release from The Channel Islands should it become necessary. The information I have received is encouraging, pigeon racing at this moment in time is due to Open up on 1st July 2021 FRANCE IS STILL MY OBJECTIVE Regards Fred
