jimmy white

they are holding another meeting in march,,,,,far to late for a youngster to hang on ,, not knowing ,,,,and possibly a delay tactic im sure the father will take the matters further ,,,,but what a fuss ,,,just to let a young lad in ,,,no need for it at all

discrimination springs to mind

could be possible ????

no i am not a member

this is true,, no one , including myself wants this to happen ,, but the lottery constitution needs to be read very carefully ,,,, you get nowt for nowt nowadays,,

the reason hes not getting in is because he knows me ,,,,is that a valid reason ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,do you think i want that on my head. any one take anything out of me but not a young boy > > > ive been involved in helping scores of youngsters on this site ,, this one is no exception

the secy spoke with mitch ,,told him what went on at the meeting , would certainly wish the lad well , and hope all turns out well , for the clubs sake and the boys sake

the boy has no criminal record,,the dad has no criminal record , the grandad has no criminal record and the great grandad has no criminal record all pillars of the "community" and all stay in gilmerton ,,,, i do hope this has a happy ending

so there was an application,,no proposer , no seconder,, for a young lad 11 years old...shocking [someone has told lies, and i can assure you it wasnt me or mitch

bart ,,it is true , beleive me

this is the lads father , who is not very pleased ,, pm him hell answer you

this could be seriously considered in breaking the lottery constitution ruling "a grant for all " if these rules are broken , lottery can claim clubs assets ,,,,read it very carefully ,,,,,,,and beleive me this is true, as i have found out, from a relative , who is head of the" grants for all " scot.

secy spoke to boys father

proposer secy mr mcue

when is the other meeting? [all resignations,,applications to be decided at agm]

young garry mitchel [11 years old] was refused entry to gilmerton h,c gilmerton homing club have permission to use the" community" centre and in fact got a portacabin from them. gilmerton club [roughly 10 members] got a lottery grant [for" community"] young garry,s father, grandfather. great grandfather , all born in gilmerton [except great grandad but been in gilmerton 70 years ] all pillars of society ,never ever did anything unlawfull,, a well respected family secy of gilmerton club proposed young garry in ,,,,no seconder....[shocking] meeting held in pub [not affiliated to gilmerton club ] some gilmerton members were barred from this pub [nothing to do with pigeons] through this they could not get a vote [as they were not allowed in by pub] gilmerton members new this is this meeting valid. the reason young garry didnt get in ,,,,he knew me. [hundreds of others know me but get in to clubs] are they jealous,,do they think i would be helping him [which im not] we had this b4 when celtic won 4 or 5 races on the trot ,,automaticly and jealously took the shine from celtic ,, said it was jimmy white , ive never seen celtics loft, never been in his house ,,why try and take the guys glory away from him [shocking ,,,,im sure celtic will verify this ] what the hell is pigeon racing comming too :(

yes very interesting article ,, not sure i agree with eveything on it , but one thing for sure,,,,theve been around for a long long time

better without the epsom salts ,,,,,,,,,better with the winner,, and doing summersaults ;D ;D [in my opinion ebsom salts out ]

think youve got in one "me",,,,,,,,,,,break the lottery constitution rules they can claim back any assets of any clubs that break these rules [that they signed for]

the young lad was going to race yb,s at his grandads [who knows nothing about pigeons , i dont know him but the grandad was willing to learn and do his best for his grandson,,,,,,,,,who knows the grandad might have kept them in the future ,,,,,,,,but cerainly not now

i do try and have done for allmost 60 years , ive helped many young fanciers on this forum [they in turn have helped me] this is the way it should be

the lad is only in the boundary of gilmerton, nothing sinister, nothing wrong with the whole family [the problem is,,,,his dad knows me >,,,,,,,,,should that be a problem or be used as an excuse ,,if either its downright shocking [remember the lottery have a constitution which gilmerton signed up for ,,,,read constitution,,,,carefully >

quite agree with you paulo and lenut tar ,, this young lad wants to start at eleven and cant ,,gilmeron club refused him ,,secratory [as far as i know proposed him, couldnt get a seconder ,, garry mitchel jnr ,,garry mitchel dad ,,,garry mitchell grand dad ,,and garry mitchell great grandad, all from gilmerton , and done no harm to anyone 4 generations without a blemish to their name , after gilmerton getting portacabin from and allowed to keep and use in the community centre grounds , a lottery grant ,, i somehow dont think the mitchels will let this go ,,and i for one, am wholehearted with them ,, i just hope the forum members see this and try and come to this young lads rescue ,,,,no wonder the membership has dropped from 42 at one time to roughly 10 ,,,,,,,,shocking , i hope the gilmerton hc members are disgusted with themselves and see some sence

this is the way it should be,,,best of luck to the young lad

yip,, big difference from "excercising" twice a day than taking pigeons 30 mile "training" twice a day ,, yb,s will win like this ,,but only last a short time ,,ob,s are to crafty for this,,,,,,theres a time to train ,depending on the races you want to win as long as their doing an hour am and an hour pm of their own free will , they wont need much training [during the racing season that is ]
