RPRA Awards 2021 –

Members should note that the application system has changed, the Irish Region will no longer submit their best claims to HQ of the RPRA, this must be done by the membership themselves. With the exception of the old bird category 450 Miles and over, and the Guy Barrett Trophy there are a number of changes to the way the RPRA National Awards will be administered and calculated for 2021. Applications will be made direct to the RPRA HQ. Applications can be sent by post . Please visit the RPRA.ORG/AWARDS to download and print an application form. Applications can also be completed online here by going to RPRA.ORG/AWARDS

All the applications will be judged on a co efficient score. The deadline for applications is 11.59pm on 5th November 2021. What is a co efficient scorer? Co efficient is a mathematic equation where each pigeon is given a score based on the pigeons position in relation to the number of birds it is against. Please note for Regional Awards please contact your local Region Secretary. Also please note an application for the National Awards does not mean it will also be considered for Regional Awards and vice versa. You will be required to submit two different applications. Remember its Free to enter. If sending by post write to: The Royal Pigeon Racing Association, Biz Space, Corinium House, Corinium Avenue, Barnwood, Gloucester, GL4 3HX.
