Poposed NFC fee increase

[Guest Vic]

Hi Guys,

           What chance has the proposed 300% plus  NFC sub increase have? £15  to £50, a bit severe to say the least. It could lead to many pre agm resignations! don't you think? : Vic.

[Guest]

how do they justify that large increase?...wot is the reason>??

[Guest]

Wouldn't pay 50 pence never mind 50 quid

[ribble]

vic,i think i'm right in saying it has been discussed in past threads,i wouldn't know how to find them.

it is their to be voted on,so lets wait and see.

Hyacinth, your hardly going to join anyway as you don't live in the uk.

[Sean]

where dose nfc cover ?

 

[THEBINFIES]

We are hoping to start in this great sport as beginners in 2007, my husband is Disabled & i am his carer we was hoping to join the NFC, If it is true about  NFC prices going to £50-00 then another beginner will be a non- starter.

COME ON ITS A £1 A WEEK, IT COSTS ME £2 SUBS FOR MY BOYS YOUTH CLUB, £2-50 FOR HIS FOOTBALL CLUB PLUS ANOTHER £2-50 IF HE PLAYS ON A SUNDAY, £20 FOR BROWNIES FOR MY DAUGHTER, £50 FOR A NATIONAL ORGANISTAIONS SUBS, LOOK WHAT YOU GET FOR IT,  PIGEON RACING CAN NOT CONTINUE TO GO FORWARD ON A SHOE STRING BUDGET, THE ONLY MISTAKE THE NFC COMMITTE MADE WAS NOT PURCHASING THE TRANSPORTERS BUT FINANCING THE JOB FOR SOME ONE ELSE, BUT HEY COME ON IF YOU COULD DO BETTER I'M SURE THEY WOULD WELCOME YOU ONTO THE COMMITTEE

Well I have just sent off my last resignations, which now means have left all South Rd Club Racing.

Personally I have ample of letters back and forth with Mp’s and MEP’s in regards next seasons racing.

The two main stumbling blocks for me was 1. The fact that though many ‘Names’ have offered help and their services, none was ever taken up in regards our dealing with DAFRA.. – Am I am not referring to Peter Bryant who has, and is, using much info from many good sauces. But surely if ever a case of ‘Little Children help your mother’ then this is / was it!

2. No alternatives programs were forthcoming, and never will be.

Do I mind that the majority of members never lobbied the MP’s? No! That is to be expected, beside surely in is the so called elected ‘Leaders’ responsibility to take these matters into hand and deal with them!

No have, and as for the silly scenario that ‘Members’ should voice an opinion or even vote on it, well that is in it’s self a joke. Why, much want they do want or even have voted on is ignored! Why else do they put their names up and get voted in! Well besides ego tripping and looking out for preferable changing such for their and their’ ‘Muckers’ advantages.

I personally 100% believe that the whole sectional boundaries should be up heaved and re-laid!

Yes action is needed, for ‘Though we can’t alter the wind, we can re - just our sails’.

Never realised just how much money I chuck away flying the South route till I kicked it into touch!

Better spent with a view of ‘Being apart of, than being used to fill the coffers of more fortunate.

[Roland]

May I respectfully say to Poacher that use used that very scenario time after time.

Members won't even allow the RPRA to employ a PR firm! Let alone give a singe quid - possibility less, to employ one! AND THAT'S PER YEAR, and if every the sport needed one, they a voice piece to the media and DAFRA in regards Avian Flu then that is now! And to voice an opinion to Ken Livingstone, and the RSPB in regards hawks... ALL with a built in think tank that sees it as it is and not in a slanted view of ours, to put over our case.

Then I must also say though poacher that it is what one get in regards of VFM -Value for Money, and where and how one spends their'  hard earned cash. I for one work very hard and long unsociable hours to earn a pittance, and let's face it the NFC and any other don't warrant, let alone deserve the money! I thought that past performances and the running of them points that way very clearly.

Better still let the posters voice what they have done that warrants a 300% rise! I know when I was a manager at Tesco and asked for a rise they asked how much! Then looked at past performances to see if I warranted it, or there was a chance of recuperating their investments. If given a rise- which I always was - I was told I had a certain time limit to increase revenue to the same percentage. Likewise with any concern, prove must be in the eating, and past performances taken into account! So do they, or any of them deserve as such ...? !

I would just like to put some people straight on this proposed increase it is not the only proposition for a increase as some might think,the first proposition is for a increase of £3.00,the second is for £5.00 and the last one for £35.00.I dont think we have anything to worry about as if the third proposition goes through it will be the members who voted it through and i,m sure that wont happen.WILL IT.

Never was a member when I lived in the UK, don't like their "Sexist" Social Circle.

[Roland]

Well Mike I assume that may depend on what chair your sitting...

[Guest Vic]

Hi Guys,

               There are many other NFC members, like myself, who compete only occasionally, but pay our annual subscriptions gladly, year in and year out.

Most of us (part timers) also buy a substantial amount of NFC registration rings.

There are many of us who contribute to the welfare of other members this way.

Whilst the fees remain under £20 we are happy to stay this way. But at £50! I assure you that there will be a considerable decrease through all sections of the NFC membership. Vic.

[ribble]

hi,vic a questions for you.

why do you only compete occasionally?

[HOMER49]

[Guest Vic]

hi,vic a questions for you.

why do you only compete occasionally?

 

Ribble, I often ask my self the same question. I just seem to get into the rut of normal club racing, and like to compete the whole progamme, including as you know the six consecutive NW Combine channel races. I should realy treat club racing less seriously and have a proper go at the big ones. Maybe this year? Here I go again!  : Vic.
