I believe that overseas competition at cheaper prices has led to their decision.

Most clubs are looking to source rings overseas.

The story we hear in Melbourne is the person that does the rings is retiring and that Chapmans are going to try and sell the business, only what we hear, could be true or not.

Lets all chip in and buy them out and keep the money in Australia. Could be a good job for a retired person to keep busy or a new weekend job for xtra cash.

I suspect the demand for closed metal Budgie rings outstrips the demand for closed metal rings for all the others combined.

I wonder if they fixed the problem with numbers fading on the rings? Two years ago I stopped buying them because of this issue.
