Fundamental Requirements and Funding Methods to Establish an Affiliated Club

• An FCI or other qualifying authority approved electronic clock with the capabilities of sending immediate and accurate arrival times to the internet to be viewed instantaneously. Such as the Benzing Live system.
• CCTV surveillance during the basketing process.
• Continuous educational programs to discourage the abuse of sulpha drugs and antibiotics by affiliated club-members.
• Regular displays of pigeons and small portable pigeon lofts in venues such as shopping centres or prise giving events.

These requirements will be partly financed by the members of the affiliated clubs and by fund raising events of Odra. Typical fund raising occasions will be auctions of valuable pigeons on the Odra website.

Odra will also seek sponsorship from cell phone service providers who would be interested to extend their branding amongst pigeon fanciers using live clocking systems and consuming air time and band width.

Affiliated clubs will also be required to involve their local NSPCA personnel to convince them of the sincerity of Odra affiliated clubs to totally eradicate any form of abuse of the racing pigeon whilst allowing the specie to full fill its right to life and a useful existence to serve humanity and nature in the same manner as all other avian species and animals.

The expenses and effort spent on these important aspects will be rewarded by Odra in the allocation of extra funds earned by Odra from sponsorship and the sale of advertising space on the Odra website.
