  1. Good morning.
  2. Well done.
  3. I will look into this at the next Council Meeting. Thanks for the heads up, but I suspect you are incorrect in your statement.
  4. Good luck all.
  5. Greig, if they don't receive the paperwork until the Tuesday and sometimes postal delays Wednesday ? Thursday, I always check the postmark, then it can be difficult. My Fed has agreed to accept a provisional result taken from emailed club results, but these do require to be checked for the final result and this is close to being double work. Balance is key.
  6. Good morning all.
  7. Happy birthday.
  8. Top flier.
  9. Tic Beans are Protein. The old dodge used to be to soak them, thus swelling them with water. The trick is to get them to eat them after that, so it was usually done with peas. Nowadays rice is sometimes used and rice is a carb.
  10. Very sloooooooooow. Is it a similar problem to that suffered years ago when you had to change server / system?
  11. I hope your situation is resolved amicably and to your satisfaction without detriment to your Federation. Perhaps spreading the load is a solution.
  12. I fully accept that the affiliations made by the SNFC are purely the concern of SNFC members and that the SHU has no means, nor desire to prevent this. I shall return to the highlighted part of your first paragraph. The apathy is rife throughout the whole sport from club through Federation to SHU. There is a distinct lack of attendance and a failure in many cases to conduct meetings in a proper manner. Many drop to the level of a rabble with conversations taking place throughout the hall, but not through the chair and not stated clearly in many cases. I am saddened to hear of your low opinion of the SHU and its processes, but not surprised. I retain doubts myself, however, I am vocal in this regard when attending Council. Perhaps your time would not be wasted if you applied it correctly. I do not know you, so you may just be a "blow", but so far you appear to have made salient points in a proper manner which makes me think you could be a breath of fresh air and just what is required. Returning to the highlighted text. The sport has given the SHU the foremost authority by accepting it as its Governing Body. The SNFC is entitled to have its own rules, however, they are not allowed to contravene the rules of the SHU and any changes must be approved and ratified by the SHU or else they are worthless when it comes to the previously mentioned appeal situation.
  13. You couldn't afford it and this is the crux of the matter. The secretaries fulfil a position for their society, hold down a full time employment, are part of a wider family unit, etc. please simply prioritise these three for me and you will have the answer to your own question. Secretaries receive phone calls at all times throughout the day and night and occasionally are rebuked for not having a speedy reply to that call, they have correspondence, accounts, etc to deal with as well as the results. Today's life demands are more pressing than they once were for both societies and socially. A local Federation has a race secretary as well as a Federation secretary and this is probably the correct way to go. Reduce the volume of work for the individual and spread it between as many individuals as is practical. How long would you work if you were "paid" £5 per day? Apply too much pressure to these individuals and they will always opt for their family and the infrastructure of the sport will disappear before your very eyes. It will not be magic, but it will be "just like that".
  14. Our result is done Derek. The last email arrived late Sunday evening. It was completed on Monday and posted, probably in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
  15. No sh 1 te here. If the SNFC wishes to remain an affiliated SHU Club, it MUST adhere to SHU rules. The formation of each entity is of no matter in this. The SHU is the Governing Body and is therefore the foremost authority. Your opinions regarding the effectiveness of the SHU may be shared by others and you are perfectly entitled to them, however, your views are of no matter either, since the rule has been made and you have given it your consent because of your own apathy. There are a regular few Delegates who attend SHU Council to manage its concerns and this they so do to the best of their ability. On the day of the AGM they are joined by a stalwart three or four members to decide the furtherance of the SHU. This is the meeting where rules are considered and passed. Put your name forward as a Delegate to the SHU on behalf of your Federation. If elected, come along to the meetings and take part by expressing your members' views and as a Council Member fulfil your duty of care towards the SHU. Fresh voices and views are the requirements for a healthy organisation. They breathe life into an organisation and stimulate the incumbent members to refresh their efforts. Be positive rather than negative and stop the sniping on social media. Use your voice and vote in the correct place and at the correct time.
  16. I hope that now you are back into the pigeons you do more than vice your opinion. Put your name up and take on the job. It is of course not just about putting out results, there are other factors involved. I'm glad you have so much free time. I look forward to seeing your name in light in the very near future.
  17. Good morning all.
  18. Happy birthday.
  19. Well done.
