March Update & What’s On for 2025
2025 Members Handbooks
All 2025 handbooks will be sent out very soon to all paid up members. There are still approximately 100
unpaid members. Subscriptions are £40.
For any new members wishing to join, you can download an application form from the website or contact
me and I can post one out to you.
We would ask anyone who is able to pay by bank transfer if they could use this proffered method of
payment for their subscriptions or race entries as it helps reduce the charges we incur from the bank.
Latest News Updates
We would ask all members to check regularly on the website’s “Latest News” for any changes to racing
information. Where we had to send the handbooks to be printed at the end of January, amendments may
occur if race points, marking stations or dates have to change which are out of our control. We will try to
notify you of any changes as quickly as possible.
Marking Station Help
Any help at the marking stations is always a bonus. If you are able to lend a hand, it doesn’t matter how
long please contact your marking station I/C.
Channel Racing Paperwork
You must bring to the marking station with you on every occasion the following.
1. A copy of your CPH Certificate with your CPH registration number on it.
2. Your completed Racing Pigeon Establishment Operator’s Declaration Form, signed and dated for
2025.
3. Your Vet’s Attestation to prove that you have had your annual Vet Visit for 2025 racing.
4. Your vaccination form with every pigeon recorded on it which is housed on your premises for 2025.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Anner Smith is willing to run a feeder service for any member in the Gloucestershire area who
would like to send. All you would need to do is drop your birds and clock to the designated place to meet Anner and
then he would drop your basket and clock back to the same place once marking is over.
