ok, what should the first question be?

They may just refer you back to your Region!

your banned!

When I moved down here, before starting own business I was Aftersales Manager for a Hyundai/Nissan and Suzuki main dealer.

can be a problem with clutches if used for a lot of towing!

Octavia is only a Passat 1.9D, not the best pullers but reliable!

We had a letter from our region sec a few weeks ago to say we hadn't paid our RPRA fees! I rang her and pointed out we had resigned from the RPRA club we flew in before there AGM! Her reply was that we hadn't resigned directly with the Union as well! I asked her to find out which rule requires a member to resign from both club and union, suprise suprise, 2 months latter and still waiting for an answer! Whats the point of asking the regions, they don't know the rules themselves!

or prob why it hasn't arrived yet!

Managed to find my sugestions to the BHW, owned by the RPRA to remind members what we are up against! Good morning Mr Richards Can I make a suggestion for the BHW. I belong to a few forums and there often appears to be concerns from members all over the country about the lack of action or response to problems by the RPRA. You already have your “view from the Reddings†slot but I think it would be a good idea to have a questions page where members can e-mail questions and both the question and answer from the RPRA are printed. Surely one page an issue could be given over to this which in turn would build bridges between the membership and the Association as well as enabling the Association to actually here from the grass roots membership and give a reply on what is being done or can be done etc! Reply Thank you for your suggestion, I will certainly look into the possibility of such a page and will put forward your suggestions to the BHW Management Committee when they meet next month. Good morning Mr Richards Has the meeting been held and what was the outcome please? Reply We had our meeting on Wednesday and I put your suggestions to the BHW Management Committee, but after quite a lengthy discussion they decided against the questions and answer page in the BHW. They stated that if members have any issues at all these can currently be discussed with their Region Secretary. Steve Richards editor@britishhomingworld.co.uk What chance have we got!

Nigel was going to e-mail it to me when his daughter was there!

E-Class

there wasn't a pic was there?

but in government there are opposition parties who will stand up and question, argue with government until something is done! What do we have? A council of fosils who won't rock the boat incase they miss out on a jolly or two!

If questioned they will refer you to region etc! They will always have a reason for making losses but surely the membership should be able to question directly as has been said, its our money! I have sugested this before but it will never happen, that an open forum be held at somewhere like Blackpool for members to ask questions directly to the Unions! You may also recall I asked the BHW to have a questions to the Union page so members could get answers to general questions with regards to problems we experience to help the sport move forward. After a management meeting it wasn't decided it was not neccesary!

I think thats 1 thing many havn't picked up on! I know of at least 1 that will be changeing from Mr & Mrs to singular so as not to have to pay 2 fees! Its the RPRA that will lose!

I agree with you, if a club needs funds its first port of call is organise a sale or shows etc before asking members to dip directly into their pockets. I see no difference if the RPRA need funds then raise them as members don't have bottomless pockets!

Owen, how much do you feed before excercise?

yes thanks.

Only a few of the above have been offered for sale so far. Mick is just checking he hasn't forgotten anybody and confirming others before organising the next sale. Phil

Have a good day both of you!

Timo, is it a good thing to be able to just change details anywhere in a pedigree? If a member has entered his birds and there details, including those from the parents pedigrees etc if required then any pedigree produced should be true. What you saying is if a member is selling X, bred from A & B, the bird doesn't sell then with the click of a button you can change a parent/grandparent to champion C! I know pedigrees are only as good as the person writing them but this will just aid anybody wishing to make up a pedigree! IMO Phil

only just noticed this! Well done Peter!

excess of anything can cause loose droppings as the excess will be excreated in some way once it can no longer be absorbed.

don't over do the linseed, just a pinch a couple of times a week.

Send my regards to Ronny, i'll speak to him soon! Phil
