naw i dont think there are lots of birds anywhere ,if u forget to pay yer dough to the snfc or if u cant afford it after the agm , u get a letter to say u must pay or u could be debt suspended ,the next thing u know is you are debt suspended by the shu this happens after a year, ie u have until the next agm to pay or the shu are notified of the suspention then the shu suspend u from the union as well so u canmt race in your club/fed .this has happened to friends of mine in fact one sent a letter of resignation to the snfc secretary thinking thats him no longer a member gets a letter later in year asking for his money he ignores it thinking they made a mistake ,the next thing is he is suspended .so now u would think do i send a registered letter to the secrtary just to resign from a pigeon club ?
