Fife Federation of Homing Pigeon Societys AGM

[alex wight]

Today at 1pm in Thornton saw our 2010 agm take place. There was a good atmosphere, where we all (or mostly), headed in the same direction. Our top table has had a wee facelift, with Mel Jarvis stepping down as vice chairman, and Convoyer John McCord (who was junior vice president) taking his place. Secretary/Treasurer Cath Jarvis stood down, to be replaced by Elaine McCord. In stepped Tam Maxwell to replace John McCord as junior vice president. Discussions were had about how to move the federation forward, and the feeling was a really good one. We are putting together a show committee which used to be very successful, and is hoped to be a big hit with fanciers from all over. I have offered my services as pro, and it is hoped to keep the fancy up to speed with our federation, with regular articles in the BHW and Racing Pigeon, and also on the mini site here on pigeon basics, and Elimar.

 

The future certainly looks bright for us, bring it on.

Good Luck to you all.

[alex wight]

Cheers Robbie, there are a nucleus of members willing to do there bit and more, for the benefit of the fed. And as long as we have that in place the rest should take care of itself.

 

Yip Steve onwards and upwards.

 

Cheers showman, i believe there was a great deal of interest in the Fife show, and we hope that returns to benefit all.

 

Cheers Andy, nice to see you again at Joes night out, although didnt manage to speak to you, maybe this year i will. Our fed is moving its presentation night one week forward so that no-one misses out if they want to go to Joes night (our fed and joes was on the same night), and its also on a Saturday instead of the Friday to allow the Saturday workers a chance to attend.

How did you here about the meeting Alex, was is closed or open to all members of the fife Fed?

[alex wight]

You should have received a balance sheet and agenda through the post, being a fully paid member. If you never received this, there seems to be a break down in communication between yourselves, club and fed. Need to speak to your secretary and see what the problem is

Never had any info from my club or Fed and I am a fully paid up member, not a criticism on yourself but maybe a post telling/reminding members on the sites it was on before meetings are  happening may help as well, I am surprised at Tam Maxwell taking on a fed post as he is blaming a lot of the lack of communication in the club as he has no time to do the club secretaries job :-/

you should get a balance sheet and agenda shurely Duncan well before Agm

 

i no i do :)

[alex wight]

There is a lack of communication across the board, and maybe in hindsight someone could have posted the agm, sorry. Having taken on the pro job i,m hoping this sort of thing is in the past, and that a lesson has been learned by the powers to be.

These were sent out just before christmas, well to most, unfortunately for Duncan he has been missed out for some reason, a reason that needs to be resolved.
