Club defuncted

[Guest Greig the doo Drysdale]

If a club goes defunct and there is money in the pot and baskets ect to be sold what happens to the money and if any members owe money to that club whats the score on that situation

[Guest]

the funds are split between the remainding paid up members .as for any money owing ? you could ask ,but iwouldnt expect it? and also wouldnt know at seasons end why monies should be owing.             andy.

[Guest frank dooman]

all assets sold and all funds shared equaly between all fully paid up members no member who owes the club money is due there share

[Guest IB]

Much same in SHU. 'Club Assets must be realised and divided equally amongst all members who are free from debt to club'.

[Guest]

 

At the end of the day a club is a business so every chance it could have outstanding debt's at anytime of the year such as unpaid (but not overdue) credit terms etc

youve lost me there ,why on earth would a club offer credit terms??                           andy.

 

[Guest]

 

Nothing to stop the club having been given credit terms (which is what i meant)

 

OK now i understand ,thank you Vallance.             andy.

[DOVEScot]

It will depend on your club constitution, but much the same as what has been said before :-/

West Lothian Fed has folded because 3 of its club no longer have sufficient members to form a club; Greig is in Pumpherston, not sure which Fed that is, but in today's climate of reducing membership, it is still a very topical question.

It has yes we are now 1 club in a small area instead of 2 so better in the long run only thing is 2 members didnt get in as there is a boundery and they are out it.

[Guest Owen]

I have to say that I do not like the sound of leaving people who formally flew with you, out in the cold. Surely you could accomadate them, even if you made it an exception due to the circumstances.

[Guest frank dooman]

the days of boundrys are finnished another 100yr old rule that will help end our sport

They have joined a club closer to where they live.The club we were in had 2 clubs in a small village with members through out West Lothian granted most of us are quite close in distance with the exception of 2 i think the one club now has a membership of about 17 which will be one of the biggest in the fed.

Sorry for doubting you. But I am with frank dooman on this. The days of boundries to keep people out should be over. And before anyone has a go at me, I am aware that pigeon racing is not fair. It never has been. Unfairness is built in to the sport, whether we like it or not. But I think it is high time we worked at bringing the sport into the modern age. After all it is a wonderful sport to be involved with and I am sure there are a lot of people of all ages and of both sexes who would get an awful lot from it.

I agree with you about boundaries the darts league i play in has the same rule the club that has folded was the one i was in and i'm gratefull to Pumpherston Premier for accepting us as for the other two members i wish they could be with us but thats not up to me

got to agree on that one cant afford it nowadays

 

 

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

100% agreement.. keepin a man from racing his doos because hes outwith an age old boundary is shocking..

 

Whats even worse, in this day and age, is narrow minded fanciers within clubs and federations that specificly move boundaries to keep fanciers out..!!!!

The persons that have been left out had to travel about 6 or 7 miles to our club they now travel 2 miles max to their new club if it was upto me they would be with the rest of us

 

 

[Guest IB]

It is open to the remaining club to change its boundaries to allow all lofts in the defunct Pumpherston club to fly in the surviving one. Or have the other 2 members already joined another club?

[dwh]

how many clubs u reckon still stick to there boundries?

[Guest Greig the doo Drysdale]

When clubs/members  change Boundaries to stop certain members from flying is "not a smart move". They have cost the member a few dollars now that he has  Lofts-clocks-birds that he no longer have a use for.

The OLD saying: Don't get "mad"--get "even".

 

Sorry Don we use £ Sterling here   ;D
