Roland

Thanks Chairman. as for More waffle. WHERE'S YOUR CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS TO IMPROVE THINGS ROLAND?????? Your quick to rib others so whats your idea's on improvement? Just where have you been to ask such a stupid question. Are you too busy to read and not understan, or just wanting to slide over and pick up on a little tittle atatle piece to try and make a point!!! :B :B :-/ :-/ All fit eh! Must be over a dozen pointers and what I'd like to see, not just wth the RPRA or any other governing concern elected, but how it should also be incorporate d with Nationals etc. etc. No not to run them, but to work in conjunction with them and ALL seperately. This not only augers for better and more informed racing, but merits and above all less costs etc. Further to obtain cheaper and ontrolled Feed Prices. They have the Cartel, written or otherwise, like the Gas Electric boards etc. etc. But as a BIG concern with many member the clout has to be with the buyer... I.e. members. I could list stacks, most would be repeating, and therefore obviously would go straight by you again I guess :-/ :B

Well I thought that the club funds came out of the members pockets. and the usual eh! We had a meeting, like most years when funds were tight, and if didn't improve the club would have to fold... Nowt happened so an extroadary meeting was called and motions put into place. So if the new measures were put into place, with things like All birds trained for 25p. thgen just petrol costs took out, the rest went into the coffers for example - which happened, with one or two other things done. What was the main thing that kept popping up, and even put forward for the AGM... You've guessed it 'With this extra money we should pay bigger prize money, and Averages etc. Not a nary about the free time and effert and cost the likes of Russel did transporting the birds for training. Nothing about the fact the transport guy let payments be halved. Not a jot that the Secretary put his wages back into the club, and what I'd done etc. etc JUST to make ends meet. No We have paid more, we want it all back with interest! This season the Training is being thrown out the window! Why? Well not only because he never even got a thank you, but moans about ythis that and the other. The guy that gave up his time clocking in to take the birds, like me sometimes, are no longer interested in giving up our enjoyment for thankless selfish geezers etc. etc. Never mind more back, if any extra, saved it shouold be put into the bank for rainy days and more expenses to come next season. Did raise enough to buy two second hand transporters... said I believe that we ought to do another fund - raiser or two, to consolidate the bank account. Voted out as not needed... two seasons later..... Need I go on!

Louis was, like Mr Allen, wealthy. And we will still need a ship to float, and steer on A course. Any course is surely better that 1000's either running around like headless chickens in the wilderness, whilst 1000's more just pack up. But Asha you of course have the remedy for this I take it, as otherwise you would have posted! Which are?

Great Rose, summed up in a nut shell. For the bad news, I have elected you as my number two lol

Well I see this topic died a naturual lamented death eh! No one suggest, a plan, not one hand ups, even a serious proposal of how and when, let alone why 'Change'. Just where are all these would be 'Go getters' the Hooray hollar boys that want Change etc! Tell you what it is a blumming good job Karen doesn't have to rely on these great supporters for her Job or livelyhood. Yes I believe, trust me, that arm chair voting will be the norm and as far as that will go. I'd wager further that Karen, knows that. No wonder she is tight lipped at the moment and certainly isn't going to relate to members in regards of their help. Would You! No she's not daft as you all rightly say.

Yes Chris, and this has happen on more than a few occassions and you can take that to the bank. Further you can take that to the bank with interest!

Can't decipher your Gist there Chris. Rose we are a little long in the tooth. I have seen outcries, and uproars galore... only once actually seen any thing done about, especially via the members... Dave Allen, and that were done privately. We have both seen the new Messiahs emerge, and those that actually do get in office quickly fall in line and bow caw. If any one can tell me I'm wrong squeak up. I fought a case (first one) back in 1986, the Secretary packed up, and folded the club. was my very first year, I spent 2 years battling with East MIDLANDS, and the end product was, He is right. So he sold everything off, and kept the money. RPRA then says... So! Nowt we can do about that.... see a solicitor. Best of all is, that the NEW president helped our case and told us we were 100% right…. Then led them in them to defeat us! Next, a club I join, where a fellow goes to the States... was secretary too... does the same, gives the North Road THE cups and trophies etc to the South Rd. Club etc. I challenged it, no one wanted to know, so he has ready wrote and Folded the club. Always the Same RPRA say their' hands are tied, and set about disfellowshipping members for least infringements. So ALL the members have a gripe. Thoses of us that act are less than 1%… by far in the minority. So every season around this time (The silly Season) they phone and moan around and say what they want, what the will propose etc. Mugging here used to take up the cause and left with crap falling on me. They just sit there and deny everything and say they never said, and I must have got hold of the wrong end of the stick! So I challenge then - well use to - and spout as it is on the agenda we will discuss it... they don't back it! Now already too busy making bullets for their next whinge for some one else to fire. And the beat goes on. What my posts, topics are about is 'Who will actually stand up and be counted when IN the position to speak, and THEN to vote for change.... Seem very few if any. and yet still week in and week out we will have the same ole balony spouted... struth no wonder thing never get done, let alone changed.

Well I don't see much of that Chris. Indeed I personally don't see that Karen has done much at all ... except to emphasise once again what we all know... That Arm chair voices alone stand. Cant see anything whatsoever that doesn't bring home the reality... that after all the shams and backing and championing a cause EVERYTHING will be eactly as it las last week, Year yesteryear. Ok karen may have lost her job... ole hat that will be too in a couple of weeks or so. I'd love to be 'Stood Corrected' but there will be very few champions soon.... Mark my words, and that is sad!

Thank Vallance... nothing better than than that to make clouds disappear and feet hitting ground lol.

Of course Superstar. Sometimes best to let the dust settle to get a fairer and better picture. Personally I hope she still has a role to play with the RPRA. But then I hate anyone to lose their job.

So put it on the appropiate topic. Ever thought - once again - that THAT IS why ythe other topic headings are formed... As for .... Quote 'this is BIGGER than anything that historically has ever challenged the powers that be, ' you must have buried your head tsomewhere where the sun never see ... even very recently. Ever heard of the Avian Flu for starters!!! Sorry that is nothing... gosh! Most of the above post is what this topic is about.... As for Karen, she's a big girl now, knows a lot more about the situation than any one else... If she is as clever and as knowledgeable as one's keep spout, rest assured that she will fare out as she plans. Wouldn't say intended personally as that lends to the arguement that she has engineered these events solely to benefit her self.

there Lads you can get your name in lights again. irman One hour ago Quote Report to Moderator Hotpot County Guzzler Chipping Posts: 18 Gender: Male Location: North West England If we were in the same posistion as KJ we would be advised by our legal team to make no comment on this matter. She has not froze us out, nor turned her back towards us, its quite simply she's been advised not to release a statement of discuss the case with anyone other than her legal team. And who can blame her, there are more "old guard" curtain twitchers on this site than soldiers in "Dads Army" now that the heat is about to be turned up just watch the little old blighters run for cover. "YOU'LL ALL BE DOOMED" just make sure they do not penetrate membership into the promised land, keep em out!

In other words it would be inappropriate for her to do so at this stage with an appeal pending.

Why post the Karen topic on here. This was set purposely to get awaay from that aspect, and also not to interfere and distract from that topic. Must be nievity and Ego clapping. Makes one once for feel there just isn't any hope for the sport with such.... Struth, was a time when Eye Sign blasted and took over every topic... gordon bennet give this sport strength.

Yeah... was a night mare that caused it... thought I was on Elimar and bought both for £900 each... was so bad that... but the missis shood them out the loft lol ;D ;D ;D

Waffle Chris, been here for 4 years or more than you, and you have already 400 post more than me... ChrisMaidment08 October 30, 2008, 5:21pm Posts: 3,845!

ET's

See you are SWEARING again > ;D ;D

Whats the latest regards selling these?

Not a dry eye in the house ..... Just how will the Eye Sign Guru's master that lol

Regards Merlin, and Michael J. Burden. You know, the above two gentlemen’ posts are excellent. Both highlight the realities whilst highlighting we need do in fact need change. They put elegantly into words what I have been spouting. Yes we do need change as I have too often advocated. The main problem has been - for me - to enlighten just where this needs to be done! Just changing a ship, but keeping the same system, captain and crew will result in the same, then lesser results. Until members wake up, and decide exactly what is acceptable, and will be tolerated, then what their aims are, and desires to achieve will be, and pursue, and stick to the new regime. Every thing obviously will stay DETERIATING! Indeed al the way along I have advocated exactly what the two wise gentlemen have eloquently stated. But again I must say the biggest problem must be to replace the Apathy and actually use their thoughts to good use, attend meetings and above all VOTE!

Then Chris, it is a good job that the Fossils keep the sport going just a tad longer then isn't it. Everyone on here is able to breed and get rings for next year. Everyone is able to race next year. So A FEW Satalites may emerge... soon die too. Yes your right, check your pulse, you may well be dead.... Well from the shoulders up at any rate lol ;D ;D

Think I would go with that. Possibly one of the best fliers that has ever existed. I'd go with that. had a great maestro as a teacher too, and all good pupils should turn out better than the master.

Your right Roland everything is just hot air! lets hope that the R.P.R.A carry on the way they do eh! And sarccasm is the lowest form of witt, and certainly no need for it. Besides being no need, especially when most are on the same side doesn't that just heighten the very reason why the RPRA have been let down so badly via their members! Golly they can't even agree to agree, and when democratically elected pull together for the betterment of everyone, especially the sport! Ask most where they were when decissions, discussions were taking place and 90 odd percent say 'Didn't bother to go .... They (whoever THEY are) will do just as they please. But continue to whigne and moan. They should hae been there, and VOTED / Discussed with other members and sorted, not just leave it to the same ole tireless faces and moan more. Even having the audacity to call memeber that get voted in and try to change things, often the very things that they are moaning about!
