totally agree, however, surely we need to consider joint convoying, how many transporters go down the road almost empty, to the same race points, and birds heading the same way home, would make sense to liase with other Federations, and convoy as one, and liberate as one, and as for having 2 federations in 1 location, that needs to be addressed, so there are other options, rather than continually increasing fees and putting people out the sport all together. This proposal has been tabled before, and as I said, it died on it,s feet, so I don,t see it being a starter, if I remember right, it was only about 4 or 5 that voted for, and the majority against. One good thing about proposals like this, it certainly encourages people to attend meetingshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif And I have regularly supported fed sales, as well as every other local club, I have not attended dances, simply not my thing.
