They should answer to the membership, that's if you can find out who they are!

the RPRA did have a holding loft but if they've got rid of it i'm sure there is space to hold strays at there one loft location.

if the club organised the sale they should be able to do you a letter to say the fancier had deceased and they had conducted a clearence sale.

What would be wrong in shortlisting candidates with brief experience and publishing them in the BHW for the membership to read and then put it to an openvote? Maybe thats to democratic? Phil

the people you had them from Chris, had they deceased and were the birds in there name?

As I said in the first post, i'm sure we wish him well and time will tell how forward thinking he is. I do hope he is as approachable as Peter as I have always found him to be very approachable at all times unlike his previous! Phil

is anybody privy to who applied? Wonder if any pigeon fanciers actualy applied for the job? It maybe fanciers are not appointed incase there becomes a conflict of interest regarding there background within the sport. Phil

no, just live here!

still trying to spell South!

I see in todays BHW that the new RPRA General Manager has been appointed and i'm sure we wish him well! What are members thoughts on him not being a pigeon man? Phil

it was raining in Bristol on and off between midnight and 3am!

can you send some sun this way pls?

Cos they're can't tell the points of a compass! Don't forget it is Welsh! ;D

South East Route

All Sunday libs as well!

ours are good sitters and feeders

I think All regions or even counties should have a stray centre funded by the unions. the could be someway of moving birds from centre to centre until they reach the members nearest centre where they would be required to collect it from and maybe pay a nominal fee of £5 etc towards food etc. They could be set up with the money from Blackpool etc. I havn't been to the WHPU's new office but sure i'll call in at some point for a cuppa!

I think the WHPU live in one, or used to before they moved to there new location, maybe they've upgraded to a shed now!

Perhaps there should be aviary on the end of the portacabin!

Lack of update doesn't help those who have entred, just look at the backlash from the Scotland oneloft!

Ithought there was one, at RPRA hq!
