Yep they're taking advantage of he's good nature. Put a proposition in at the AGM that secretary fees shall be £xx per loft. Let the members know should it get defeated he will be standing down.
As you can see this trophy was first awarded in the year 1912, some 100+ years ago. I feel privileged for my name to be on the same trophy as some of the legends of the sport. Cheers all. you may have to click on the photo to enlarge.
Once they drop the 5th flight they'll start body moulting naturally so wouldn't worry about them losing their bars. These will be in better nick at the back end of the season and should be on their last two flights (be careful not to send them if their about to cast a flight). To help slowing the moult down train them hard and get them sitting.
