RPRA and NWHU Reach Agreement Joint Statement from the Royal Pigeon Racing Association and the North West Homing Union The Royal Pigeon Racing Association (RPRA) and the North West Homing Union (NWHU) are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached following constructive and positive discussions between the two organisations. The RPRA would like to thank the NWHU officials for hosting the meeting and for the warm welcome extended. Discussions were frank, open, and productive, and both parties are pleased that a compromise was reached on the issues raised. The following actions were agreed: The NWHU revised its rules to rescind Rule 2 part (ii) The Council of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association has rescinded the previous minute to derecognise the North West Homing Union. The requirement for RPRA members to register NWHU rings has been removed. The RPRA will assist the NWHU in its application to join the Confederation of Long Distance Racing Pigeon Unions of Great Britain and Ireland, marking an important step forward in strengthening cooperation and unity within the sport. The NWHU will seek confirmation, via the relevant RPRA Regional Office, that all outstanding fees owed to the RPRA have been paid before accepting any new member. Both organisations are committed to working together in a spirit of mutual respect, open communication, and collaboration, with the shared aim of supporting members and safeguarding the future of pigeon racing.
