Well I quite agree on the point of principle and how it can not be a matter for the union when it involves their members on all side plus the ring is issued by and registered with them beats me. Next time you manage to speak to an official might be a good idea to ask exacty what we pay our fee's for as I understood they were ment to give you as a member some protection in matters like this?

Well obviously they are people not to deal with. I personally am a man of my word and always have liked to think others I have delt with are of the same but seems even so called respectable dealers are sometimes no more than crooked. Old Yellow good on you for getting your teeth into this it is obviously an injustice and hope things work out in your favour. All the best to you

Toothless wonders!

Toothless wonders!

With no reserve price bird is yours for whatever you bid simple as that. I'd like to know who and where though sounds like they are to be avoided

May God take care of him, my condolences to his family and may your happy memories bring you comfort

Mine must be worth a fortune then cause they win for fun lol

Well done kid keep up the good work and dont try to change anything you cant fix what aint broke!

Is there no end to yuor tallents? Your right again!

Come on let the dog see the rabbit!

Another one would be to delete any rule and insert new rules that any Union member so long as within any said clubs radius can pay their fee and send birds with them and will be eligable to win any prizes on offer. Will stop all the hiding away in little back street clubs and good fliers cant be penalised for being just that! What is your view on the above then roland? Have you ever been on the recieving end of being "too good a flyer" with other members forming a new club or the like just to get rid of you? Plenty have and it needs stopping! Agreed?

Personally I dont think it was a dirty trick, seems to be one of the best advances this game has had in years. My club was the first in our Fed to be kitted out with it, off the top of my head think 10 of the 15 members went with it from the night of the demo and had a good deal for the club with the rest soon following suit. Last one will have it this year, not because they couldn't win as some did against ETS but because they can see what a great tool it is. Seems my club might have been at the cutting edge so to speak but once others saw how good it was they are all following suit after their out cry lol. Now one thing I will grant you is that its expensive, not just to get the clock but on going expense of chip rings. If you can afford a big team of youngsters though you should be able to afford the rings to go on them, if like me you can only afford to run a select team then it should still be within budget and worth it too I think! On the training aspect of things dont you agree it levels the playing field of a single person who has to take his/her birds training and doesnt have anyone to tell them which are their first or most consistent homers? Granted they will soon know the bad ones as they will be back after them or not at all but takes away the advantage of the fancier with a race partner or one with a pigeon orientated partner logging down the information for them which has to be a good thing sporting wise? If you think about it there are many other advantages and lets face it, its there for everyone to have not just a select few. Now that would be wrong! Enough of ETS anyway, its the future and its here!

When did we the members get to vote on the general manager then? If that was the case then I'm quite sure the majority would have the right man in the job, a fancier for the fancier by now. As for ETS you just didnt like the idea of change from where I was sat, maybe you felt you would get left behind by modern technology who knows but its here and good job too! As for liking or disliking you that I cant answer as never met up. You post things on here the same as everyone else and they are open to comment on a public forum which is what I have done. You seem to have the atitude that your superior to a lot of others and your word is God, well buddy not in my house it aint or in most others I doubt so dont flatter yourself. if the F1 Grand prix or even stars on sunday was on now I wouldn't give your writings a first thought let alone a second and hope that clarifies that for you. If you think I cant understand what your trying to say then try to improve your English as quite often there are letters missed off words and even words missing altogether. Adios

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 Just where have you been to ask such a stupid question. Enjoying life and all its had to offer over the weekend. 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!!! Try to be little all you like I will always be bigger than that sorry. All fit eh! Yes like a size 9 sausage in a size 8 skin. I could list stacks, most would be repeating, and therefore obviously would go straight by you again I guess. What are you trying to say there roland? Are you trying to make out you and your ideas are of a superior nature to anything I have to say? Why? Doesn't that mean even more slanted and more selfish motives for the 'Click / ole boys brigade'? No I dont think it does, as comming from within you would already know what this game is about and not brought in and fed a line so to speak. How can an outsider possibly know what things need to be addressed, christ left to you there would be NO ETS remember. When I say promoted from within I dont mean by the select comitee I mean names put forward on a regular bassis say anually, bi-anually whatever and voted on by us members. Not hard to do, a simple voting slip in the homing world or down loadable from the R.P.R.A website would give everyone the chance to put the right person in the hot seat. If the Man in charge wasn't up to the job in the members eyes then they would not be re elected and replaced by our choice not the chosen "band of brothers". There you go roland suck on that for a bit, its not as daft as you like to make out

More waffle. WHERE'S YOUR CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS TO IMPROVE THINGS ROLAND?????? Your quick to rib others so whats your idea's on improvement?

Another one would be to delete any rule and insert new rules that any Union member so long as within any said clubs radius can pay their fee and send birds with them and will be eligable to win any prizes on offer. Will sotp all the hiding away in little back street clubs and good fliers cant be penalised for being just that

Well I propose any future General Manager should come from within the hobby/sport.

Never mind Chris come up to Hereford when Telford show is on and you can travel up with us lot, sure to be a laugh and banter will be good with no offence taken

I wish I was on her crimbo prezzie list

Excelent stuff thank you. Have to agree with Rose they are of better quality than some professional ones I've seen by a long way.

Crikey roland your repeating others now too! Hope you have their permission? Or you might be on a suspension yourself lol. Bit obvious that really and cant understand why anyone thought she would be on here commenting on it at the moment. Good luck to her anyway

Hereford, a little known outback town on the front line with wales

People always told me that the pedigree was just a piece of paper lol. Excelent stuff though, I wont be bored all winter now and what lovely Christmas prezzies all my friends and family will be having hahaha

Same as before excelent quality mostly racing eye's if you believe that mumbo jumbo but can tell they are very healthy birds from them. Credit to your management I'd say. Just one question when can you do mine? lol

When I read that I sited the lords prayer to myself and I'm not even religious! I remember his pop at ETS and this in the true tradition of a Blue Peter badge holder is one I made for him earlier lol
