Blue Chequer Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Question for Henrik, what makes you think NEHU will accept e.t.s. in 2007 ????
Mike Lycett Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Hopefully it'll never be brought in by the RPRA >
Pompey Mick Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Why do they use manual clocking back-up in International races when ETS is used and why is it only approved for some races in Belgium ?
westburylofts Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 WHY MIKE ??????. WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHY NOT. RAY
THE FIFER Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 ON RPRA and SNFC AGM PROPOSALS FOR 2006 is the ETS.
Mike Lycett Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Think the Sport has enough problems don't you without shoving something our necks that the MAJORITY of RPRA fanciers don;t want.
PIGEON_MAN Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 MIKE HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT THE MOJORITY OF R.P.R.A. FANCIER,S DONT WANT THE ETS TO COME IN,EVEN IF IT DOES NOBODY IS FORCED TO USE IT ANYWAY OR PERHAPS YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW WHO THINK IT WILL GIVE THE MEMBERS WHO HAVE IT A UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
big_al Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 SATURDAY 28 JANUARY SNFC AGM PROPOSED FOR ETS 79 FOR 30 AGAINST.
Guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 will that be another 30 members for the snrpc ? hope so
Guest WINGS 04 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 is that a 2/3 majority or does that not come in to it with this ? just wondering
Guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 is that a 2/3 majority or does that not come in to it with this ? just wondering Not sure if you're referring to 2/3 majority for constitution change .. agm agenda shows that this was a members' proposal to change the clock rules and surely a simple majority would carry it? Maybe blasphemy to some; but in modern times and in certain cases where there is a freedom of choice, people don't NEED to be bound by the will of the majority and have the right to go elsewhere with others like-minded. My opinion : (1) jibes like 'walkers' fail to recognise those individual's rights to make those choices AND (2) jibes against those who go with the flow ALSO fail to recognise the same rights to do that. Time for both parties to take heed of this?
Mike Lycett Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 When the ordinary fancier who can't afford it is at a disadvantage then its hardly an appetiser to stay in the sport is it? Personally, I could afford it, but I don' want it. If our nearest rivals had it & started beating me, purely on the trapping system then of course i'd have to ask myself whether we needed to install it. The majority don't want it though - show me ANY RPRA based fact to prove otherwise. We know that for a fact. Hell, its hard enough trying to get of some of the old Toulets without thinking of ETS !!!!
westburylofts Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 HAS THE RPRA OR OTHER UNIONS EVER HELD A BALLOT ON WHAT EVERYONE WANTS, ??????. I AM FED UP WITH OTHERS SAYING WHAT I DO OR DONOT WANT. ALSO THE EVERY DAY FANCIER IS AT A DISADVATAGE NOT SURE ABOUT THAT KNOW A LOT OF FANCIERS THAT HAVE PLENTY OF CASH BUT THEY CANNOT HOLD A CANDLE TO US EVERY DAY POOR FANCIERS. LOTS OF FANCIERS SAY THEY CANNOT AFFORD A T3 CLOCK AND SOME SAY THAT IS NOT FAIR, BUT I AND PLENTY OF OTHERS USE OTHER CLOCKS AND STILL GET THE ODD RED CARD. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS POST THE WRONG WAY I AM NOT HAVING A GO AT ANYONE, I THINK THIS IS SUCH A GREAT DEBATE< WITH LOTS OF GOOD POINTS BEING PUT ACROSS. RAY
fifestay Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 Its technology ..... why have you got a Internet ready PC ...why not just write to everyone ....why have a mobile phone why not just use a landline or telegram. Think it was already said about when some Fanciers (those who had money) had clocks and the rest of us had to run to the Post Office was that fair? that some people who had most money had an advantage. Are stall traps fair ...do they give advantage. Is Natural racers having to be basketed with some of the blown up Widowers fair and the list goes on and on. Also we must comply with legislation and accessibility for those who may have a disability and ETS allows them to have the opportunity to participate. If you are racing in the Winter olympics do you use the Electronic timing system or a Man standing at the bottom of the hill with a stopwatch. I dont have it but i have no objection to those who want it ....you can choose to use it or not. Many of the fanciers are getting on in years and are pretty much scared of new Tech or may not be in the game for the long haul and thuerefore not worth the investment. Most of the racing fraternity outside the UK has it so what is the problem really
dandydoo Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 I know Rose, its just gets boring, basically we all dont like change nor expense but the reality is soon, you wont be able to buy a manual clock. Nowadays nothing lasts i.e. hoovers like they used too (urgghh getting old)
westburylofts Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 HAVE TO AGREE WITH BOTH FIFESTAY AND ROSE ON THIS IF YOU DO NOT MOVE FORWARD YOU GET LEFT IN THE PAST. RAY
Roundo Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 It's upto each fancier what timing method they want to use. Lets move with the times and get on with racing our birds. Roundo.
fredspears44 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I AGREE WITH ROUND'O' ITS PROGRESS LETS GET ON WITH RACING DOOS
