Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 I think I am right in saying that if your club is already affiliated to the RPRA your club will not be entitled to one :-/
hotrod Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 I think I am right in saying that if your club is already affiliated to the RPRA your club will not be entitled to one :-/ why not ?
Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Not sure of the reason, I am just relaying what I was told at our clubs last meeting. Can be checked with the RPRA for confirmation. I think you will find it is only being given to newly formed clubs.
hotrod Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 maybe a new thing , our club/fed is affiliated to the rpra and we got a grant 2/3 year ago.
greenlands Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Hi hotrod,"why not" mate,I think it's something to do with RPRA rule and having to vote new members in or not in what ever the case.The club has to be open to all applicants providing they have not bad debt etc. to other clubs and are not undesirables ie.trouble makers.Lindsay

newbold Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 the club is a mid week club and has 46 members
pjc Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Phil have a search for "awards for all" and you can download an application form
pjc Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 once you've had a read through it if theres anything your not sure on then let me know and i'll see if I can help you. I beleive the RPRA rule has been changed to assist clubs to get grants. The rule was refering to members requireing a proposer and seconder.
Guest IB Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Current BHW View from Reddings carries latest twist on this. Last turn, RPRA changed rules to 'suit' but now the fund is saying that it's maybe their rule that is wrong. Can't force people to accept someone 'undesirable' as a member. Being 'open' does have common-sense limitations.
Roland Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Think your club has to stipulate that it is open and will take any and every member regardless. Leads to a 'Case Scenario' of if a club ever refuses a member, then it can be held to have NOT fulfilled it's purpose and they could legally ask, expect and HAVE their funding replaced. Good job too eh!? :-/ :-/
dick Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 can someone tell me what grants are out there
hepste Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 The position is this; Anyone can make an application to "Awards for All". If you are affiliated to the RPRA, their previous rule that required a proposer and seconder for membership applications, was considered undesirable by AFA, but did not preclude the application being successful - the whole application was taken on it's merits. That rule has now been withdrawn, but AFA are now saying that the "voting" rule is undesirable. Again it doesn't preclude an application by itself, but does not go in it's favour. If all the other boxes satisfy the criteria laid down an application has every chance of being successful. Up to £10K can be requested for any item, as long as it is connected with the club, and associated with providing a facility to race pigeons for any person in the club.
