Good morning all.

The Macs have better bred pigeons in their loft.

Think it is all to do with the number of members in a club. Club membership is dropping and some clubs have difficulty as the season progresses. The rule was changed to make it easier, just as a Federation only requires 3 clubs now. It is designed to allow clubs to keep operating, thus keep Feds operating, thus keep SHU delegates in a position. If the clubs fold or amalgamate to keep their numbers up, then the feds reach critical position and fold, then they are no longer entitled to forward a delegate to the SHU. I know of a federations that operates in name only,supplying rings to its club members, but that is its only purpose.

SHU changed their rule to three with the pigeons at all times, but that may be after marking and in sealed baskets, I can't remember.

Despite my earlier post, I do agree with this. Perhaps the reason for little discussion at our AGM is the full report issued to the members prior to the meeting. Like most AGMs, ours is poorly attended, possibly down to the fear of having to take on a responsibility. As you stated, if they feel strongly enough about anything due to arise at the meeting, then they should attend, just as I indicated in my earlier post.

Most businesses, Building Societies, Kennel Club, Mensa, etc use postal votes. Why not for pigeon Federations? My Balance Sheet contains a breakdown of funds and any proposals. It also carries a Secretary / Treasurer Report and a Member Survey. There is no reason why this could not be done. If any questions were still outstanding then the member would have to attend to ask the question, but very few questions arise, just the normal argument over costs rising, as they must, and the race programme.

Good morning all.

Well done all

Think this is the last week.

Well done Matthew.

You still win with them.

Be careful Billy!!! If your racers eat the toad wart emissions they become high .................... fliers, man. :D
