1. Every member of the SHU is an automatic member of the SNFC, if the SHU charged an extra £5-10 from everybody then everybody could be a member of the SNFC. 2. All fanciers can be a member in as many clubs as they want. Again, no rule should stop anyone flying where they want. 3. No fancier in a clubs radius can be refused membership unless their is a valid reason for refusal.( being a successful flier is not a valid reason ) ps. valid reason for refusal must be proven and stated by letter to the applicant. 4. The Governing body and Nationals should be paid pro rata per member, this means, the more members brought into the sport the more money they will earn. BUT, the less in the sport, the less work incurred so less money earned. This would encourage the Governing bodies to get out there and get more members. 5. Any youngster under 16 has free membership, rings and birds to start off in their first year. It goes without saying that they should receive as much help and encouragement from every member as possible. 6. Amalgamations/Combines should be used after a certain distance in both ob and yb racing. The result/pools etc being worked out by a designated Secretary who would be paid equally by all federations taking part. Just a few thoughts off the top of my head!!
