HEAVY RAIN WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS, SOME VERY SHORT CLEAR SPELS

there are more delegates than officials so must out-say the officials, and delegates should be instructed by their members what to do so officials only have the power the are given by the members, delegates are MESSENGERS. for the members, but if they are allowed to go to meetings and do as they want this is how we get the problem, but that's the fault of the members not the delegates or officials, when it comes too fficials in organisations u are only talking about 4 in number how can they boss any organisation, unless the organisation lets them, lets be real its the fault of the members if they are, and that goes for any organisation,

i thinkif pigeon racing came to an end which it will soon, the fancy pigeon clubs would boom.

the only way we could get small clubs etc to get together,(and i agree this is the answer) is by the unions getting together to make out what u need to form clubs etc, i know there is simmilar out now regarding how many members u need etc, but its not going far enough,also areas should be made and only one club in pesific area, if ur in that area u must fly with that club, same with feds they must have ex amount of members and the same with nationals, all this small organisations is a thing of the past, or should be but instead its getting worse, don't ever see this happen but it will finish pigeon racing, as it is with small organisations starting up all over, and leaving one to go with another is not the answer.

i think ME u are a bit out of order with ur bit about people who run pigeon racing, there are a lot of good people in the fancy and if it was'nt for them we would not be racing pigeons, if any organisation has officials like u describe then its the fault of the members they put them where they are,

was what u owe showing on the balance sheet, if not someone has questions to answer, and if it did the treasurer has to answer what happened to the money u say u paid him,

regarding the snfc re. suspended members, this rule was rattified by shu when i was a shu delegate a few years ago and yes snfc debt suspended members were coming up at shu etc, and getting ok at shu level.

yes u have got it snowy, the best thing for keeping ur birds klean, garlic in the bath water, best easy and safe, done it for years, also put some garlic water in a spray bottle and spray in the loft will get rid of flies and moths, and the smell is good for the birds, the same in the bath it gets to their nostrils good for them, great stuff. if ur a gardener spray it on ur flowers will get rid of greenfly etc.

yes get them lettered that u are going to appeal on the grounds of rule 174, and i think if the witnesses dont come forward they are not much of pigeonmen, also if u can prove that u payed the treasurer then he should be suspended, as what did he do with the money if u paid him, and if the other officials new u had paid they will be the ones not racing, the thing worring me is were any of the witnesses at the agm, if so why didn't they speak up.

has ur club had its agm, if so wernt u there, if u were debt suspended this would have to be at ur agm,

i take it u raced during 2006, if so was it put to u at any time that u had not paid ur dues, and what is the treasurer saying about it now,

is it the subs for 2007, or is it 2006, they say u havent paid, and have u had any notice from them regarding this.

QUOTE from webmaster re, the class. : the class is aimed at being for retired racers or favourite stock birds, so there isnt really a strict stipulation on age, unquote, so hope this helps, also there are some nice birds in this class well done all.

yes dandydoo, agree, but this is what unions are for,dealing with disputes etc and unions are supposed to be united, also it states in the different unions constitution the other unions the recognise, so how can this be that rpra recognise shu, and vice versa, and yet they are not recognising suspended members, all out of order to me.
