As previously posted we all have to follow the rules "from a level of personal and professional integrity".Its not the SHU it’s the Government The important thing is we stick to the rules to get us through into the next critical 2nd phase and we follow the rules to the best of our abilities.Why put our elders at risk for a !!is it not safer to train them yourself them jump them .Its nothing to do with furlough or grants if it was ,we would be racing .If we get a 2nd Spike it will be devastating and I believe for the economy the 2nd phase will be lifted within 2 weeks.I am as keen as everyone for racing to commence and it will but surely not to the detriment of our families.

Andy, have you seen or read any statement from Ian Evans, RPRA CEO that has come directly from the Scottish Government That can be verified or validated. Is the name of the person/minister that he has spoken with concerning the racing of pigeons in Scotland actual known, or has this all yet again been word of mouth.

 

No I Have not. I have spoken directly with Ian Evans and he told me he had spoken to someone in Scottish Government. All he has ever received is a referral to the Scottish Government routemap out of lockdown. Similarly when he was speaking to Westminster, just referrals to the guidelines. Ireland have a fancier who is a member of the Government. Wales has been extremely difficult to receive any information.

The RPRA have looked at the guidelines with a view to servicing their Members and interpreted the relevant guidelines. They have then issued their own guidelines on how to meet the arrangements required. Part of their guidelines were that Conveying organisations had to check Government and RPRA guidelines to ensure they could meet the relevant standards. These conveying organisations then inform their Clubs whether they re going to operate. The Clubs then decide if they can meet the arrangements and inform their Members. Every individual Member has different requirements and must decide for themselves whether they are able to meet the arrangements.

Simply put, every individual is responsible for their own safety.

 

I have posted this before and I have personally informed Gordon Turnbull that was the position. Gordon then decided to allow training under similar provisos. Thereafter he issued a series of statements retracting from his position. It is only today that he has announced similar to his original decision and apparently after a meeting with RPRA officials. Why he could not have accepted the word of one of his Council members and checked with the RPRA before his original decision, if he did not check at that time, I do not know.

 

Absolutely nothing has changed since his original announcement, to my knowledge.

DO THE MEMBERS NOT THINK ITS TIME TO SIT BACK AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND REFLECT ON WHAT WE ARE ALL DOING TO EACH OTHER AS SO CALLED PIGEON FANCIERS, WE ARE ALL LOOKING THROUGH THE SAME EYE GLASS, AND WE ARE PUTTING OUR OWN INTERPRETATION ON WHAT WE SEE, I DONT BELIEVE FOR ONE MINUTE THERE IS A SINGLE PIGEON FANCIER IN THE COUNTRY THAT DOES WANT TO RACE HIS OR HER PIGEONS, OR IS TRYING TO PREVENT ANYONE ELSE FROM DOING SO, AND THAT INCLUDES THE OFFICIALS OF THE SHU, AND BY THE WAY THE SHU DO NOT TELL ANYONE THAT THEY CAN OR CANNOT SEND THEIR PIGEONS FOR TRAINING OR RACING, THEY ONLY GIVE ADVICE ON WHAT THE GOVERNMENT RULES ARE AT THE TIME.

WE ARE LIVING IN UNPRESEDENTED TIMES,AND THE ONLY WAY OUR SPORT IS GOING TO SURVIVE IS IF WE CAN WORK THROUGH THESE PROBLEMS TOGETHER, AND REFRAIN FROM ASKING OFFICIALS, WHO DONT ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT, TO STEP DOWN, WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO TAKE ON AN UNPAID JOB, JUST TO BE CHASTISED AND BAD MOUTHED, WHEN THEY THINK THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST THING TO DO AT THE TIME, WE ARE GETTING BACK TO THE OLD SAYING

"LET HIM, WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE" I DONT THINK THERE WILL BE MANY STONES THROWN. WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN AGENDA, AND WE DO THINGS ACCORDING TO WHAT IS BEST FOR US, I CAN UNDERSTAND PEOPLE BEING A BIT CAREFUL IN HOW THEY INTERFACE WITH OTHERS, AND TRY TO KEEP THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILY SAFE, PERSONALLY I HAVE BEEN TO ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES IN THE CLUB LATELY, BASKET CLEANING, BASKETING FOR TRAINING, ETC,ETC, AND I OFTEN THINK ABOUT, WHAT IF I CATCH THE VIRUS AND TAKE IT BACK TO MY FAMILY, GOD FORBID. SO GIVE OTHERS SOME CONSIDERATION, WHEN THEY HAVE TO MAKE THESE DIFFICULT CHOICES.

I NOW BELIVE WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, ALBEIT SLOWER IN SOME AREAS THAN OTHERS, BUT THE GOOD THING IS, WE HAVE CHOICES AVAILABLE TO US, TO EITHER TRAIN OR RACE OUR BIRDS, AND WHAT EVER CHOICE YOU MAKE, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT [APART FROM THE LAW OF THE LAND] TO QUESTION THAT CHOICE.

SO HERES HOPING ITS ONWARDS AND UPWARDS IN THE WEEKS AHEAD.
