partnerships

[stantheman]

can anyone help me? I wanted to form a partnership for next season and rang region secretary asking for advice she told me that my proposed partner has to apply to apply in his own right to become a member and has to be in clubs radius  and then when he is accepted I have to apply for a change of name for him to fly with me. I explained that he is not in the clubs radius nor any other clubs that I am a member of but we wish to fly from my loft location not his new address she was adamant that we could not do this. Is this correct? I rang R.P.R.A and they are looking into it has anyone got any thoughts?

Why don't you apply in the name you want race in at the address you want to race from?

[schyphos]

Bluey is right.I fly in a partnership and lived outside the radius,all you have to do is to get the existing member to resign and then rejoin in the partnership name.In your case if you are applying to join a club,then just join in your racing partnership name with your address as the loft location.Should be no problem.Best of luck.Word of warning though,partnerships don't always run smoothly.

dunno if i had read this right,you want to race in the same location as u have been racing?i think i am right iun saying this why should it matter all you would have to is change your flying name i am sure.i agree schyphos partnerships dont always work well even if its father and son there can be some very heated moments!

i always believed it was where the loft is situated for the radius.and also that b4 ur a.g.m send in a letter(to ur club) stating u wish to change ur flying situation and change of name to wotever and add a partner to it,they will decide  not ur region secretary...i believe im correct,if not .....im close...paul ;D ;D ;D

i bet u spoke to mrs marsh southern regien sec, what a waist of time she is.

 

there are 3 of us in a partnership we did fly under the name of imran malik "which is me" so any way this year we decided to call it as a partnership I.MALIK & PARTNERS.

 

to do this all we did was phone the rpra they sent us a form we filled it in then a week later another form came back telling us all the ring numbers have now been changed or transferd to i.malik & partners.

 

its as easy as that.

[stantheman]

its a tricky one as i dont want to resign from the club i currently fly in and reapply as i dont think they will let me back in. all the other clubs i fly in dont think it will be a problem just got conflicting advice from region and r.p.r.a. p.s my partner to be has not got pigeons now and has moved to alocation where he wont be able to have them, i just want him to remain in the sport

[ACE LOFTS]

::)Stan u have been misled by your original contact . if u and or a partner wish to fly as Elvis Presley u may do so , unless ur new partner has broken RPRA rules or a bad debtor . Be positive in ur approach , go ahead , and good luck to you both in partnership .                                     regards    andy ;D

[stantheman]

thanks for the advice i will contact rpra again for the relevant forms and start the process

if you are a member already of the club you are flying in and loft location is the same as now, i was told you would have to resign as your current name in the agm, and then in the meeting that follows (same night) apply to fly as your partnership name. this is what we were told and what we did. if you can just put a letter in stating your chainging the flying name all the better.

[Williedoo]

 

I would advise you not to resign,this has happened to someone I know and he himself did not get back into the club.

[stantheman]

thats why i was asking for advice as i want to carry on flying in the club dont want to risk being left high and dry

[PIGEON_MAN]

As secretary of a club all i would expect from you would be a letter saying that you wished to change your name say from stantheman to stantheman and partner this would have to be in my hands before the agm and it would be put on the agenda for the members to vote on it,the address where you were flying from would be the one that the members would go on your partners address would not come into it unless he was suspended.

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

just change your name mate

[Pompey Mick]

All this about resigning and re-applying makes no sense to me, as long as the members are notified as per RPRA rules and they are given the opportunity to have a democratic vote on the matter why does a member have to put his membership in jeopardy.

In my club anyone who wishes to alter or become a partnership simply advises me, as Secretary, that they are applying for a 'Change of Status' and I insert this with the AGM notifications and the Club will vote as they wish.

It has been the policy of the RPRA to keep the same Code No when situations have been altered,so really nothing much has changed apart from the title.

[stantheman]

mick i agree with you about how your club would deal with it and that is how i have dealt with change of status when i was secretary of my local club but i was referred to region secretary and she advised me that my partner to be had to apply in his own right and be in the clubs radius. I have since spoke to the rpra at the reddingsand they told me to put it in writing to my region who in turn will seek guidance from council I think this is all a big joke as if i had just applied to the rpra for a name change they told me it would have gone through no problem now in their words they dont want to tread on anyones toes. Makes you wonder why we bother next time i will go straight to rpra and do it then inform clubs of new flying name, in meantime i have wrote to the region asking for a ruling and what rule it comes under because i cant find it anywhere in the rules or any rule that i have broken
