With the first NRCC race fast approaching (Dunbar, Saturday, May 17th) the committee would like to ensure that all the members are updated, ready and prepared for racing with all the information needed. Our aim is to be as proactive as possible and ensure that there are no last-minute unexpected issues arise and run as smoothly as possible. We want the NRCC members to have a good racing experience with us on the North Road and enjoy the whole process from start to finish. From entering your birds, be it on-line or by post, you will need the following information which can also be found in this year’s members NRCC handbook and on the NRCC website https://www.nrcc.org.uk/new-online-entry/
Important pre-race information:
For members who will be entering on-line, the portal is open for Dunbar entries now. For members entering by post, entries will need to be in by close of businesson Tuesday, May 13th. Please pay by crossed cheques or postal orders. These must be made payable to: – THE NORTH ROAD CHAMPIONSHIP CLUB or NRCC and posted to: – Mrs C Norman, Phinius Farm, Hobhole Bank, Toynton All Saints, Spilsby, Lincs PE23 5DG. Please do not post cash or pay by bank transfer. Late entries will incur a £10 late entry fee which will need to be paid at the marking station. Please note that due to circumstances beyond the NRCC’s control the Stratford marking station will not be running for the foreseeable future. We are hopeful of finding a solution to this but at the moment, due to a number of residential issues, we have had to put Stratford on the back burner.
Post race verification process
Please remember to verify your first pigeons within one hour of clocking in. On-line verifications have not changed for the members that have entered digitally. For members who have entered by post, there is a new text verification system that will need to be followed. Please text the following details to 0735 298 9943: Your RPRA loft number, your name, your time in hours, minutes and seconds. The ring number and race point for example: EM1234, Joe Bloggs, 17.05.25, GB25X123456, DUNBAR. Please do not leave a voice message and please do not use the old telephone verification number as this is now obsolete. Provisional results for each race will be uploaded to the Pigeononline portal as soon as they have been processed. This may take slightly longer than previously so please do be patient! We are really looking forward to seeing the NRCC members at the marking stations again this year and wish you all the best for a good season of racing and best of luck to all of you. Please be reminded that you must be a paid-up member to race with the NRCC before the first race on the program. Membership cannot be paid for at the marking stations on the day of basketing and will not be accepted as we do not have the facilities for this. For all up-to-date NRCC information can be found here on the club’s web site including a copy of the 2025 handbook.
