A fresh approach to International Racing
Hello and welcome to TEAM RML.
The original concept in this endeavour was, through forming a partnership, to bring together several individuals to race a team in a few selected International Races in 2010. Most of these individuals will continue racing as individuals in some form or other but, due to varying circumstances, most also have some impediment to International Racing in 2010.
Often the first hurdle is the most difficult and so it proved here, London Region of the R.P.R.A. found it impossible to allow the formation of the partnership. However there is always more than one way of skinning a cat so the endeavour will continue. Unfortunately the outlay will be much cheaper, London Region will go without some revenue and we will not be encumbered by partnership regulation but otherwise things will be much the same.
So you will be able to follow here the day to day story, the successes and failures, the ups and the downs, the highs and lows of a small TEAM attempting to participate in a few of the most competitive pigeon races in the world.
Beyond that the concept is simple, one loft and one team of pigeons. In this case all the pigeons come from one loft and in this particular instance it is only anticipated that they will race for a couple of years. They could of course be drawn from several and in a long term plan they could be bred and acquired progressively by the Team. They will be prepared and trained by one individual. The group however will participate in all discussions and decisions as things progress. Public information will be maintained in a detailed way and subsequent training and race reports carried on this web site while additional information and discussion between group members will take place through Newsletters.
This sort of endeavour can provide a sense of contact and participation for those who are unable to participate directly themselves due to illness, misfortune, location or a number of other circumstances. That really is the main purpose here to keep a few who are interested, and perhaps facing difficulties, in touch with a sport they love, and if it manages to do that TEAM RML will be a success regardless of how well the pigeons perform.
As already some interest has been expressed by people outside the original group, and we feel there may be more, we have decided to open it out. So if you are interested you are welcome to follow progress through these pages or if you would like to be more intimately involved please contact the Secretary through the E-mail below for more details.
How much will it cost you? Nothing.
