Do i fly in the biggest club with 35 members?

[Guest]

years ago my town had 45 members considering its a very small market town it speaks volumes for how much pigeon racing was thought of in days gone by.

we now have as little as 12 members.

 

Paul, Merthyr club in 1971 when I first got involved had 69 lofts, Merthyr valley had a population of about 57k at the time

I think both the North road clubs we belong to have around 35 members each, some are members of both and some are not.

 

The two north road clubs are situated less than a 60 second walk away and fly in the same Fed but due to past politics etc it will never happen that they merged to form one really fantastic club.

 

Technically there is another North road club in the town however this is currently not in use but still has 30 members- Hopefully we will get this back in use at the AGM next month even if it is just used for midweek racing again.

10 years ago our combine was sending 2 lorries carrying 3-4-maybe 5000 birds now we push to get 100 members send 1000 its bad we may have the bigest club but say if 15 members sent from our club there would only be around 150 birds which is bad,

[jimmy white]

the old, gilmerton club raced 5-700 birds with 42 members ,, think theres lucky if theres 11 now,,

 

thers not many clubs now [which was common place years ago] with 35 members,,,, wonder why

I think Coatbridge may have been the biggest club in Scotland many moons ago?

 

coatbridge premier way back early 60s had 128 lofts ,club now defunct ,sad

I think our membership is 47 at the moment around 30 send regular and about half the membership have won one or more nationals/classics or combines. Leigh club must be one of the strongest clubs in the country a club that has won 6x1st, 7x2nd,6X3rd,7X4th,6X5th,6X6th,2x7th,5X8th 1X9th 5X10th +39 other cards between 11th & 20th in 2 seasons in the NFC & BICC. .

great strong club john ,even if it were half what you say it would still be a strong club.

i think we would all agree that not matter how many members we have, big or small, we still need to do more to get people into the sport

I am sure you were unlucky and inherited an utter brammer for a secretary who knackered the club and it ended up being closed down and the the proceeds of the club being split up and the members of a perfectly good club being cast to the four winds looking for a club to fly their doos in.

what is the answer to get more people interested in the sport.
