Squeaker Sale:

The federation held its annual squeaker sale on Sunday 14th March 2010, there were some excellent youngsters donated by many top fanciers, this year the race is Open to anyone who purchased a youngster at our sale and flies 260 miles or over from Vire, we have had to change the race point from Sartilly due to the closure of this site, fanciers will be racing for a Prize Fund of £1030.00, this will be split into 3 Prizes, 1st = £500, 2nd = £300, 3rd = £230, again this will be split 50% to the breeder and 50% to the buyer.

Grand National Race 2010:

The federation launched the greatest federation race to ever come into our sport in 2007, In the 3 years this race has been held, over £100,000 has been paid out in Prize and Pool money, In 2010 we are again holding this which must be the fairest race to ever come to the fancy, again as in previous years no-one can enter anymore than 5 birds, entry fee is £100 per bird, the chosen race point due to the closure of Sartilly is Vire code 5087, the race is Open to any RPRA member who flies 255 miles or over from Vire, there will be various adverts in the BHW over the next 8 weeks, entries for this race close on 1st August 2010. Best of Luck to all who compete.
