Guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 As DL have taken 7 of your members which caused your club to fold, seems to me they can´t refuse to let you in. Think you´ll find your application will get the nod - thinks its a bit of ´the more the merrier´ at most clubs now.

Guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 in the 70,s and early 80,s there was 45 members in my club...a big amount considering how small a town this is, where i live...now there is 10..there has been roughly this amount for the last 10 yrs with other members coming and going. the sport is changing because of the youth of today...computers and other sorts are keeping them away from pigeon racing.....paul
pigeonpete Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 we have had no 2 leave our club this year and 2 yes 2 new members :D
frank-123 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 hope you get in a club wings pity you could not join our club i could do with some more pool money ;D
Guest WINGS 04 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 hope you get in a club wings pity you could not join our club i could do with some more pool money ;D yes and i could give it to :'( :'( :'(
Ronnie Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 we got a few lofts on my estate now.Two of em belong to young lads(13-14 year olds) so hopefully when they get there mates around one or two of them will take an interest.I think people need to be educated over pigeons not so much the kids more the parents.I mean what hobbies are left for a parent and child to team up in and compete nowadays.My lad is six and my girl is three both of them have named a pigeon or two and my lad helps to clean out with me.And now that the young un's are chippin out my kids will be telling everyone about the babies.Hopefully some people will take an interest.
jimmy white Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 hope you get something sorted out wings ,, seems odd you cant get in a club that near you , youd think they would all be glad to get members,, its pretty sad when you look at things now , my old club used to have 42 members at one time i think its down to about a dozen now , pity there wasnt some way to revamp the pigeon sport and attract members, i allways said if each single fancier could get another interested in racing pigeons , it would double right away , but off course thats easier said than done, anyway best of luck wings , youve allways got the national :)you did it last year
gangster Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 my humble opinion is we need to go the european way and if your in the area then you cannot be refused membership unfortunatley the democratic votes bollocks when you get members running around to members who rarely even attend to make sure someone does not gain entry into there club........it happens as we know...then they wonder why the clubs are dying off....another point is if clubs are close they should be made to merge ...............
