fanciers??????

[Guest chrisss]

 

i thought that it was because pigeon racing wasn't recognised as a sport that club premises became liable for business rates because sports clubs are exempted....if i'm wrong..i'm wrong but thats what i thought.

 

i think you are right mate

[mac1]

strays and the lack of coursety show to peaple who help all of us with reporting our birds

 

i know what you mean mate,ive just had a gb yb drop in rang the owner,the guy was no help at all,i lost 13 yesterday hope i get them reported losing them spoilt my week end

[pjc]

if members stamped there birds "bin me please" the RSPB etc would go mad but thats basically what some are doing by not wanting them!

[Guest chrisss]

i lost 20 out of 30 ,the 2 that have been reported 1 is in durham and 1 in essex [both will be picked up one way or the other]however if all 20 got reported thats me out of it ,regardless of all the talk about claiming your birds back, no one can afford to get all the birds back,however manners cost naff all,with the cost nowdays of getting birds back the rules must change to reflect this

[pjc]

I agree Chrisss the rule does need changeing but the fossils at the top won't allow it!

[mac1]

where in durham mate

[ChrisMaidment08]

shadow was there not a levy put on clubs a while back as pigeon racing is a sport not a hobby or did fanciers hit the roof for nothing

 

oh happy days

 

i still say if you paid 100 ask why we nor anyone in7 clubs haqve paid unless youer own councle said you pay our clubhouse stands in its ownspace

[ChrisMaidment08]

 

chris nobody is saying your not being helpful,but a fancier who cant be arsed [for want of a better word] picking a stray up off you after youve been out of your way with the same bird once before in my book doesnt deserve helping..........pete

 

further 2 calls now he can pay to collect

[ChrisMaidment08]

8 phone calls no call backs  put bird to whu gail did not seem happy when i told her i was non fancier but im not am i i gave up she was sharpe to the point of rudeness   you reap what what you sow so now lets see how long he takes

[Guest peter.j]

well chris you did everything but gift wrap it for him he has had more than enough chances....pete

[ChrisMaidment08]

he he 30 quid

[pjc]

Has the bird been claimed now Chris?

I must admit your comment ref Gail at the WHU is certainly out of character, she has always been polite to me and beleive me, i've thrown her some curve balls at times.
