The annual BICC auction raised close to £17,000, and this money will be used to make the 2024 season a successful one for members. With money tight for many at the moment, the club were delighted to have raised so much and would like to thank Stuart Wilcox and the pigeon chat team for hosting such a successful auction. Special thanks go to all the donors who offered birds of the highest calibre and to all those who bid and spent their hard earn cash. The BICC hopes that these birds will add to the quality of your lofts and bring you success in the future. The Breeder/Buyer sale is also going well with 247 rings sold so far. With rings on sale at the Epsom Show, it is hope that the number will rise even further, with the last date for purchasing rings on the 31st March. The Breeder/Buyer race will be from Fougeres on Saturday 14th September. You don’t have to be a BICC member to buy rings, but you must be a member to enter the race. Breeders can buy up to three rings for the cost of £10 per ring, open to all RPRA members. Buyers must be members of the BICC
