welsh fanciers

[ChrisMaidment08]

A lot of that has been lost now with small clubs, the banter on a friday and sat night, club shows etc through the winter all used to be part of the enjoyment, now if you win to much you become an outcast!

 

it sounds right but oddfellows never seems to change still a laugh sill made welcome with a drink from chairman  pill its a click and  not very frendly

[Guest strapper]

i prefer "cock and thimble"system.thats the way i know and prefer.so i will be joining a club that flys that way.but i am in the process of finding which clubs are available to me,because i know boundries are involved.

 

i personally wouldnt  judge a club from a single persons view, i would ask around and judge for urself.

as someone may have a grudge against a certain club , so i would get some info off local flyers,about clubs in ur area.

hope u get sorted.

[ChrisMaidment08]

well he could ask his naighbour who is in that club

ive been in the same club nowhere in s/wales for over 10yrs,never thought of changing clubs,happy in this one where ive been chairman for 2years and sec for the last 5years,re elected by every member so i must be doing summut right lol,im glad im not in a club where i have to look over my shoulder each week!...only changed club once..for the better.

[pjc]

i've been in the same club since moveing here and been sec for almost the same length of time, no other mug will do it!!!

[ChrisMaidment08]

sec job is easy

[pjc]

it is when you've got a good team around you which i have.

The problem is your tied to it, I don't mind the job but I can't give 100% to it and can't be at the club every marking and checking night.

This year 1 current and 1 ex members have caused problems which along with my kids now being at an age they want to do things at weekends has made my mind up to let somebody else have a turn.

sec job is easy

 

when yi plenty time on yir hands

[ChrisMaidment08]

i was only joking  i had plenty of problems as chairman with some members

[Guest strapper]

the secs job is a thankless one at times..some wont take on the job but some do critisize the ones that will do it.

[ChrisMaidment08]

as they do in all clubs

[invalidusername]

Not just in pigeon clubs! ;-)

[paul10121968]

one thing is for certain,we could not do without these people who give up their time to keep our clubs running smoothly.i for one admire them.

[Guest tom123]

chris maidment

im disturbed by your recent postings on here regarding the pill rpc

and would like to know where you got your info from and explain yourself

 

1) you have never even applied to jion the club or had intentions to do so

2)yes we were awarded the lottery funding for our elderly and disabled fanciers which stands at 80 % of them out of the 25 we have

why you should find reason comment on this i dont no has its got nothing to do with you

 

3 what other club in the country offers its membership

 

3a  social evnings through out the year for fanciers and spouces and families

3b family days trips out in the summer for its membership

3c  annual trips to holland and belgium

3d breeder/buyers

3e yb ring schemes

3f  free membership for junior members under 16

 

so for you to indicate that the club is clicky and unfriendly has you put it we aint doing bad are we

 

   if i remember the last time you came to the club some 3yrs ago you accused one of our members of having and showing one of your pigeons which caused distress to the member concerned who challenged you to accompany him to his loft and prove your aligations which you refused

for which you later sent a letter of appolige to the club about your actions and behaviour that day

 

the club is run in the right mannor with everything above board for the benifit of its membership and does`nt warrent your accusations for which i would like  to appoligise for the re,marks made  

 

yours

secretary

pill rpc

[OLDYELLOW]

i think a balanced approach was made when one of the members on here said ' don't judge any clubs by one persons experience '    i suggest you invite this young gentleman to your club and show him how nice your club is by inviting him to a ' basketing night '      And if your lucky to get a new pair of hands to help out he may want to join your club  

Can't hurt anyone to ask ?

[Guest tom123]

yes i agree to everything you are saying paul has already been invited to the club on fri if he wishes

but has secretary of the above club im in a position where i couldnt just sit back and watch mr maidments antics running our club down and say nothing

 

tom harris

[joe61]

quite right tom123 mr maidment is gobby

 

oh happy days

[OLDYELLOW]

as you have put in your response he did have a negative time at your club ,but i think this was down to his conduct and not your club members and he apologised for this , but this shouldnt be used as you rightly said to tarnish your clubs reputation. Anyway lifes too short to hold grudges i think any prospective member will view any club from there ideals not that of others.

[Guest tom123]

all im asking for is for issues to be put in the repective

and he retracts his remarks

 

tom harris

[Guest tom123]

i  have no personel issues with mr maidment and we have always acknowledged each other when ever we have been in contact either face to face or via telephone and always will

but i cannot sit back and watch him make unfounded accquisations about our club for which he has no back ground knowledge of

[Guest strapper]
