i think point one, we wont get the publics help on just tax releif as there feeling would be they have to pay tax so why not us.

 

if we go around it with the sport issue making the point that greyhound racing is regarded as a sport despite saying that pigeon racing is not due to the non physical demands on the human.

 

i am sure if enough of the members of this site pull together we can have a good go at it.

 

True, leave out the tax issue on the petitions, concentrate on the racing of pigeons being recognised as a sport the same as greyhounds etc

[THE FIFER]

they say pigeon like dog racing is not a sport because the racing is done by the birds and dogs, humans are not actually taking part in the race,  that's their view on it,

[chickadee]

 

As i am sure you may agree Fifer if only it was as simple as that......

 

Getting up early spending every spare minute in the loft takes a lot of effort on the part of the fancier

 

 

Yes but they don't OR WON'T see it like that will they?

[Fair Play]

They say horse racing is the sport of Kings then surely pigeon racing is the sport of Queens :)

[jakjak]

Problem is with Peter Bryant is that he aint a pigeon fancier!!

We need someone with pigeon racing in 'their blood' who will put up a fight........ not just sit back and collect wages!!

As for the queen............

Thought greyhound racing was classed as as a sport

 

I thought that would a strong argument that dog racing was viewed as a sport.

Stronger petition possibilities.

well i could be wrong, but this is why pigeon racing is'nt classed as a sport so, dogs are the same, not like horse racing where they have a jocky on their backs,

Webmaster, Where is the petition you were going to set up?

 

I understand you to be busy. Maybe I am being Too pushy, but this is close to my heart and other fanciers.

 

We can not put it off much longer we need to strike while the iron is hot.

 

I have not got the skills to do this via the net - unfortunately.

[Webmaster]

How about this as wording of the petition? (I was mulling over it last night)

We the undersigned petition the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and its Sports Councils; Sport England, Sportscotland, Sport Northern Ireland and Sports Council for Wales, to officially recognise pigeon racing as a sport.

 

[Guest]

Looks good to me!

perhaps a member with better pc skills than i (maybe webmaster) could start a thread with a petition sheet that can be printed off by each member.we could all then go out and get as many signatures as possible and then post the completed sheets to Tic eye Hen . ?

 

Would not an E-mail petition be better

would be easier and more convenient for the members steph but look at all the potential (hand written) sigs we could get from friends,family and colleagues that aren't on the net or dont keep pigeons.

I had a look through a couple of online petitions and came to the same conclusion as homer. While looking through the regulations and whatnot found that every signatory must provide specific details - which putting on the net (even with security) isn't everyones cup of tea.

 

Will post up the petition sheet on a separate topic.

Good idea

If you want to send me a copy I will take it around some of the shows I will be going to Myself and get some signatures ,

Some of the Members of the young fanciers pigeon club have already agreed that we would take something like that around Blackpool show
