Guest strapper Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 what if members can get a petition signed at their clubs and send them to you rich m8?
OLDYELLOW Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 I have sent a letter to the BHW and the Racing Pigeon highlighting what I am planning and hopefully this will appear in the papers next week. I am not sure the best way to go about contacting all the clubs? I know the more signatures we get the better but the best way to go about this? :-/ :-/ contact the unions and create a paper petion and get them to send out to all clubs other can be done via a page in bhw im sure if talk to editor you'l get a full page for free was done last time 700+ signed , all the best
Guest strapper Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 or have one on line where clubs can download one
Taylorsloft Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sapbsbs/signatures 289 signed this hardly a drop in the water the ipetions arent very good get duplicate signings and need a paper petion with names and address on 700 signed ones via bhw were handed in with no response , needs to be done through unions and sent to each club via unions then clubs can give one to each member to get names on ectra , that would be the only way to get a bulk of signitures , other avenues is to start a song bird group ectra out linning how many birds are on the red list and the R.S.P.B are the very ones putting them on it as there only intrested in bops come on sign up
OLDYELLOW Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 come on sign up ill sign a proper petion no problem one with names and adresses on , also have local mps email address via a nice letter he sent me so will be compiling a nice letter and im sure many more be canvasing in the run up to the election
rasbull Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Posted March 18, 2010 some cracking pictures being put on the facebook action page. Just the quality of material we are looking for when I submit to the various people I am aiming at! Still a lot more needed though! www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk if you fancy having a look but even better if you join and post your views/pictures!
DOVEScot Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 I have signed it in the hope it will do some good but there seems to be a few petitions going around just now. Maybe we should all put our eggs in one basket :-/
rasbull Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Posted March 18, 2010 cheers added to the facebook action page!
rasbull Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 23 members registered so far on the facebook action page. With these averaging 70 friends for each time someone posts a picture thats 1,610 members of the public are having these photos stories displayed on there computers on a regular basis! Just imagine if every member on this site joined up! This is the only way we are going to get our message across - and whats more it doesnt cost anything other than 5 minutes of your time to join the group! It doesnt matter if you have no pictures, post your feelings towards to the situation. We all moan about BOP and nothing being done, so please lets do something about it! JOIN UP NOW!

youngboy_ Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 Thank you Youngboy! I have spent the evening on a forum of bird lovers gauging opinion. Quite interesting to say the least! I looked at the number of people registered and they have 88,000 members! I have managed to at least get a thread on the site and start discussing the BOP problem! Even if 5 of these 88,000 stop and think it will be worth it! to right and all!! anything better then what it is now will be the best!!
youngboy_ Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 and i forgot to add the site looks great hopefully more people will sign it asap!! i will give url to local fanciers and get them to sign it also!!
rasbull Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 Got home from work expecting to see a load more joined up to the Facebook Action page and to my disappointment just another 8? Cheers for your support guys to those of you who have joined but the best way to promote this is to join the Facebook Action site and place your views on there yourselves. I have 31 members at present and they have an average of 70 friends on facebook then each time people post around 2,170 members of the public will also get that information displayed directly onto the facebook page when they log on? I mean how easy is that? Where else would we get 2,000 members of the public viewing pictures of hawk kills any where else? And that is just with 31 people signed up! Imagine if everyone setup an account - the potential to get our message across to thousands of people is huge. All it takes is for people to take 5 minutes to join the group! C'mon guys - we may not be able to change the law but raising awareness will go a hell of a long way to bringing the problem into the public domain where people who can make those decisions are able to see for themselves! JOIN TODAY - HELP YOURSELVES! www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk
rasbull Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 Tonight I am going to be emailing my letter to all National News papers, so please keep your eyes peeled in the press over the next few days as I cant afford to buy every newspaper! ;D ;D The letter was printed in the Daily Mail, so the chances of something appearing in there are quite high I would suggest! I will also be emailing the BHW and the Racing pigeon asking if an advert can be placed in them asking for people who suffer attacks to join the Facebook Action page and post there pictures. I have no idea if they will agree to this, but it is for the benefit of the sport as a whole. I would like as many of you to email the RPRA, BHW and the Racing Pigeon in asking them to support this site. Paste the following onto these links and we will see where it gets us!!! editor@britishhomingworld.co.uk racing123@btconnect.com davidbills@rpra.org I would like to inform you of a site that has been created for pigeon fanciers in an attempt to raise awareness of the continued threat posed by BOP. I would like to propose an advert is placed in your magazine and support given in helping promote this attempt at saving our sport. The subscribers to your magazine will have a place to put photos and information which will be seen by the general public. The greater the number of public that are aware of the difficulties we face the better chance we have of protecting our sport for the future. The website is Rasbull-lofts.co.uk. Thank You If any of you know of any other sites that would be interested in the link to the site please feel free to post. www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk onto forum/discussion group you may think would provide backing to our cause. Thank You Richard Shepherd www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk
rasbull Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 40 members now on the Facebook Action page and 206 signatures! Hopefully when the letters are published in the BHW and Racing Pigeon this will increase dramatically! www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk
rasbull Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 I would like to request for any pictures of attacks/kills etc to be emailed to me at Rasbull@hotmail.co.uk. Cheers

rasbull Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 Hi Robbie, will sort a link out for clubs tomorrow and put on the site to be downloaded. I have tonight sent off a letter to the following newspapers:- The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Mirror, The Telegraph, The Indepedant so any replies I get will put on the Facebook Action page. Also written to the BHW and Racing pigeon and also sent a letter to The RPRA. So will now wait and see for the response I get! Richard Shepherd Rasbull-lofts.co.uk
rasbull Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 The facebook group now up to 47 and 224 signatures on the petition! Still need any photos of attacks etc.

Richard Shepherd Rasbull-lofts.co.uk Can I just say a massive thanks for putting this amount of effort and leadership to this cause, everyone should surely be behind this cause or hang their head in shame. I applaud your willingness (no grovelling either) and dedication. Stan
rasbull Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 No worries mate and thank you, I just hope everyone gets behind this and uses the site as I hope they will. If it gets just one article in a newspaper then it will have been worth the effort! I have posted the letters I have sent to the Racing Pigeon, BHW and RPRA as well as a revised letter to the newspapers that are mentioned above. Richard Shepherd www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk
