Guest Vic Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 UNITED!!!!!!!!!! Christ mate! what are your aims? ;D ;D ;D Any money raised should go to the aims of BOUNTY HUNTERS. £50 per head. An eye for an eye! (or eyrie, whatever) But leave the Manure out of it! They'll be on the rocks themselves soon, without their main swooper. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Guest numpty01 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 the flying hero.s fund with leaflet showing raceing pigeon flying and excplation of war time use up to today still being used tio transport items in britain and now under threat from enemiys of today
jimmy_bulger Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 there was a article a few years back in the fancy press S O S save our sport but it did not have the support at the time. i think the way fanciers have suffered the last few years it might be a good time to resurect this name as i think you would get more support now. jmo. jimmy
Guest Vic Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Wise words Jim! But let's not forget, that we in Liverpool are not plagued by BOP. By daily excercise. On their way up? Maybe! With the eaststerly winds blowing them into predatory areas, i.e. Cornwall and through Wales. Things are changing in this game Jim, and I don't like most of 'em. Keep as you are, Vic.
Roland Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 I have slept on it, and that with a few other sugestion are use full. P.O.B. was of course the thought of B.O.P. being reversed. Yet of course that will not ring any bels with a vast amount of the folk ... even fanciers I gues Lol. Yes I like UWF. I have had these put to me as well. Pigeon Aid Save our Sport Committee SORP, Save our racing pigeon Alliance of Pigeon Fanciers UK Save RP Flying Friends Safe Skies Not least RSPP Royal sociaty Protection Pigeons ... but that would have to have the blessing of the royal family. Hence it's National PCC etc. So could be NSPP. Be nice if the queen stripped the RSPB of the Royal part I guess :-/.... never happen of course :B
Roland Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Be nice for any other input to be put up - sensible stuff only - as time is of the essence, and needs sorting flipping quickly.
john@formula 1 lofts Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 How about SOB - Save our birds This will appeal not just to pigeon fanciers but bird lovers everywhere. John
Roland Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 and sob, or Son of a *expletive removed* lol will mean that folks will recall lol But has merit and that's for sure.
Guest numpty01 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 a name that cannot be disected by anyone sob is one that can if you think of the way rspb can manipulte things eropein socityfor protection of birds which covers everything and remmber pigeon fancier.s are alover the world not just britain
Guest numpty01 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 yes pjc you remmbered and its good name
pigeonpete Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Whatever we call it i think it has to be steered away from pigeons i think, Any mention of pigeons will be frowned upon by most im afraid :-( just my opinion
Guest numpty01 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 this isapoint we discussed in great detail pigeons would be included not the forfront of campaign
pjc Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Whatever we call it i think it has to be steered away from pigeons i think, Any mention of pigeons will be frowned upon by most im afraid :-( just my opinion exactly, mention pigeons and forget public support!
Guest numpty01 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 exactly, mention pigeons and forget public support! i could give you reason on here why pigeons should not be the main thing after talks with peaple with sense in the world of public opinion but that would give some usage
Tony C Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Personally I feel an Acronym shouldn’t be used. B.O.P.... P.O.B.....S.O.S......S.O.B.C. things like this doesn’t put any sort of message over to those not in the know. I’d look for a title that was short and sweet and as much to the point as possible. TTNF ??) Tony
Guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Pigeons should be in the forefront, that's the whole point, start off lying and you end up getting caught out eventually. Just don't have the main objective of what the campaign is about at the forefront that's all. There's several sites getting set up including that one whiteknight pointed to http://www.whpo.org which I believe aims to represent the fancy in issues that the likes of the RPRA don't. No doubt there will be focus on BOP issues but probably in such a fashion that will present itself as just another part of a whole, that's the important aspect. As for protection of all European Brids your going to open a can of worms as your going to have to get specialist knowledge in on the hundreds of different types etc. We already have the expertise in pigeons here in abundance, combined here is knowledge that cannot be surpassed so lets use our strenghts to the maximum and not burden ourselves with things we know little about. Whether it be one organisation set up or five, the one thing we must do is work together and its nice to see this thread come back on track at last.
Roland Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 One must remember two things, I believe, regardless of 'Name' letters. A what we are about. And how we are to be viewed. Not only to the public, but the rest of the Pigeon Faternity! If it is to be 'Birds' the mere Fact that there is the RSPB / the SOS Save our Songbirds etc. etc. This is regardless of what many think, the vast majority in the public associate them as 'Protectors of our Birds, in deed ALL birds with a Royal backing'! Hence interest would wane quickly if indeed it raised an eyebrow I feel. Also the concern would then have to be conversant in a very wide range of birds / habitats etc. etc. In deed would be quickly swamped and inundated with a colossal back drop of their’ Plights. Does one really want such a wide and diverse field? :-/ We do have enough problems of our own surely. Having said that YES! Without a second thought about it WE must be for ALL birds affected by the Hawk / Rapture / B.O.P. and that's for sure. But primarily it is for OUR birds, will be - especially in the main for quite sometime, us, pigeon fanciers of allsorts that will promote, sponsor, raise funds etc. Then of course the fig leaf is and will always be there for other 'Land' concerns and their problems that they are having the same as us. Sure United will be an asset. No two ways about that. can only be achieved I fear after we have taken the innovative forward a step, when others see our band wagon moving. I have a deluge of very well intentioned people every day with great ideas, and ways forward. So very much proving that I need assistance and help in this project. Great I have a very well and capable committee in place now. -Very much needed. I have a satellite of great fanciers on here willing to give a 100% like Swilcox, Formula lofts, Jimmy Bulgar, etc. etc And they are revered and their thoughts are also having to be put to the committee. Yes it is a small committee, with dozens as such plying great insight and inputs. For many believe this to be my 'Baby' my idea and project! :-/ :o Nothing could be further fro the truth! The only thing I have done is to be insistent in voicing YOUR concerns and others. The right to re - locate the B.O.P. Of having a one unified voice to represent and to present to the RSPB/ and other bodies and concerns. Ways of to enlighten and having help in this regard. Yes another united voice such as a P.R.Firm. We have taken a small, but giant step in our cause to highlight our plight…. And others. The trip has just begun though, and it will be a long and arduous trek and that’s for sure. I ought to take up Rabbits I guess lol. But by days end I believe a name / practical name that is NO MORE than a banner / Flag to OUR cause and Other Bird lovers. Full stop. But I will admit openly that I for one see a good interest, and very good suggestions. Yes the reasons also why one thinks as such.
Guest peter.j Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 H.A.W.K help abate wildlife killers or winged killers may be more appropriate
Roland Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 N.S.P.P is my favourite I feel as of yet. Still open of course till 10 tonight for any other ones put forward.
