still say oddfellows for both

A lot of odd fellows around Newport eh Chris!

my first memory of pigeons was wheeling them down to the club on a pushchair with my father.he would have sometimes three baskets all on top of each other by the time he got there.

tell you what phil its one of the few clubs i enjoyed judgeing shows and spending time with its members

A lot of that has been lost now with small clubs, the banter on a friday and sat night, club shows etc through the winter all used to be part of the enjoyment, now if you win to much you become an outcast!

it sounds right but oddfellows never seems to change still a laugh sill made welcome with a drink from chairman  pill its a click and  not very frendly

Quoted from paul10121968

i prefer "cock and thimble"system.thats the way i know and prefer.so i will be joining a club that flys that way.but i am in the process of finding which clubs are available to me,because i know boundries are involved.

i personally wouldnt  judge a club from a single persons view, i would ask around and judge for urself.
as someone may have a grudge against a certain club , so i would get some info off local flyers,about clubs in ur area.
hope u get sorted.

well he could ask his naighbour who is in that club

ive been in the same club nowhere in s/wales for over 10yrs,never thought of changing clubs,happy in this one where ive been chairman for 2years and sec for the last 5years,re elected by every member so i must be doing summut right lol,im glad im not in a club where i have to look over my shoulder each week!...only changed club once..for the better.

i've been in the same club since moveing here and been sec for almost the same length of time, no other mug will do it!!!

sec job is easy

it is when you've got a good team around you which i have.
The problem is your tied to it, I don't mind the job but I can't give 100% to it and can't be at the club every marking and checking night.
This year 1 current and 1 ex members have caused problems which along with my kids now being at an age they want to do things at weekends has made my mind up to let somebody else have a turn.

Quoted from ChrisMaidment08

sec job is easy

when yi plenty time on yir hands

i was only joking  i had plenty of problems as chairman with some members

the secs job is a thankless one at times..some wont take on the job but some do critisize the ones that will do it.

as they do in all clubs

Not just in pigeon clubs!

one thing is for certain,we could not do without these people who give up their time to keep our clubs running smoothly.i for one admire them.
