as a toungr fancier than many i will help where i can but if not i will find another way to help others

[showman]

 

I have no problem with this but have a problem about advertising on the Forum how much is paid out to each applicant as this will then lead to a never ending debate as to how we came about the sum gifted or refused.

If the five committee members agree to a gift and the sum and it is open to them to check all income and expenditure I think this should suffice.

 

Ian

 

So the membership has no access to see how the fund is managed ?

I can see no valid reason for not publishing the gift or recipient unless they do not want the amount published after all most will know about the damage

 

Ian

[Ian McKay]

Yes

brilliant if i can help in anyway all you need to do is ask

[DOVEScot]

Ian as far as I am concerned you are one of the most open, honest and helpful in the pigeon world.

Producing a balance sheet once a year or even more will let people see who is donating etc and where their contributions have gone. That will not only keep it transparent but encourage members to take part :-/

[Roland]

I will of course donate. Whether it be a youngster or two or a donation of cash I will have to decide later. The reason simply is I have, as most will know, bought in to restock and start again in reality.

So it will be depending on the hatch and number of youngsters raised, that will decide which which it is too be.

[Roland]

good luck ian and your committee for getting this good cause going again

i know it is in safe hands

 

And I fully echo that!

I know nothing "a lot would agree" as long as there no touchy feely from the cock of the north or anyone else I may add

ill 2nd that

 

 

[swilcox]

Firstly this is a great way of Pigeon Fanciers helping Pigeon Fanciers, something that is all too rare nowadays!!!!

 

The second thing is trust and i think Ian is a top guy and a step in the right direction for the forum and trust in him we must have!!!!! I believe an annual summery showing total in, total out and balance left should be adequate for all members as actual totals donated to an individual can cause possible conflict.

 

Its inevitable that the fund will recieve some very honest and justified claims, it can also work the other way so these things have to i assume be handled carefully.
