The complete setup requires to be re-evaluated. The pigeon sport base is declining at the same time as it is modernising. More and more use of online facilities is occurring in some aspects of the sport whilst the member base has a fair percentage that does not use technology. Some rules are not keeping abreast with the developments. The financial income base is decreasing whilst the expenditure is increasing. The reserves that are held may not be fully required and should be used to build for the future by allowing the income to meet the expenditure. We can no longer sit on our laurels and bask in past glories, we have to face the future and be fully prepared for it, if not it will come anyway and then we will be engulfed.
