Guest JPH Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 so what u saying then we should all just pack it in and give up now then , why dont u do something about it go out and try and get new members go to schools go to youth clubs there lots of pep out of work now with nothing to do all racing birds would be grate for them ,,yes fred and they could not afford them nowadays, just stating a fact your still high up on your iceberg but its melting fast just like others have done nowadays. Schools here would not let you near them with pigeons flying rats is what there brain washed into im afraid. They can bring all sorts of weirdos into schools but bring in birds or pigeons , its a no no. goverment got a lot to do with all these policies m8.
