Fair Play Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 We elect the controller at the AGM and it is his call - remember the old saying "Too many Cooks spoil the broth" I have not always been happy with some of the liberations but I am prepared to go with the controllers judgement there is always the next AGM to vote that is if anyone will take the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JADE Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 tomorrow will depend on where the rain is and when it clears. sunday looked ok on forecast earlier. (but of course that could change by sunday!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Play Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Rather an extra night in the loft than two in the basket JMO especially with feathers falling all over the place and with the heat will be more stressfull for the y/b even with ventilation system in place You can feel the heat in your car when you transport them from the loft to the club multiply that by 2 or 300 and you could cook in it.

Always used to basket on fri but the cancelling has started to become more frequent nowadays, sometimes not to good to be over cautious.

Fair Play Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 We race pigeons in Scotland and we all know what the weather can be like I think it's trying to find the balance/happy medium which keeps everyone happy but then you quote "George Washington" about pleasing the people that says it all with no disrespect to anyone's opinions..
