i cant find our old thread future of sport , however i feel that the damage within the R.P.R.A is unreversable , too many fossils anyone with any ideas are soon put to bed or cast aside as a trouble maker , there is only one way to to mend this damage and that is to start a new union from scratch , this union would however not be recognised by the R.P.R.A as a union , but if a shadow union started and gained membership then and only then would you have an alternative to the R.P.R.A , but the question would be those that just want to just send there pigeons and not get involved with the polotics join ? and we are at best a very small percentage of the fancy , if fanciers truely wanted change it could be done but not through the doors of The Reddings , as long as ex service boys are running the show the sport is in a nose dive situation , posts such as general manager should be split up and given to those with a passion for our sport , not for a golden hand shake till retirement sets in .
