there is a rule in scotland that there must be at leased 4 members present, i could be wrong with the number could be 5 not got my book handy,About ETS when it first came into use by the SHU I was dead against it, did everything possible to talk against it at SHU counncil meetings etc, and voted against it at the AGM, resigned from my Presidents job with the FED, through it. but now I think I would give up if I had to go back to the conventional clock, had ETS for 3 years now, even along with sapper do all the regestering and clocks up to date, its the best thing ever, does all the work for you. giving and working out all the velocities for every bird clocked, less time basketing, less time marking, less time taking off, and no waiting on the secretary taking all your times home to work out who has won, its all there when you take your clock off each member gets a sheet with al;l birds clocked and their velocities, after all clocks taken off you print out one for the club it gives the first 10 birs and velocities, you go away home knowing the winners and also know the velocities of all your own birds, you timed, what is wrong with that, 8) 8)
