Williedoo Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 When pigeon clubs in Scotland first started getting grants from Awards for All they knew a new member had to be proposed and seconded and then voted on,with majority rule. (this is still an SHU rule) It has changed now,if this is in your club constitution you wont get a grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 If I was refused entry or banned from anything that was unjust I would fight tooth and nail to prove my banning or refusal was unjust. If they get away with it then they could do it to anyone and everyone, stand up and be counted and set a president for the future the RPRA should throw this club out of their union or expel them until resolved but they wont as they lack the guts that it would require and in turn this fancier will need to take legal proceedings and in turn at a great expense.

alex wight Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 And we ask why our sport is dying a very fast death. What has this club REALLY got against Derek and Linda??? we need to hear the reason for the refusal, surely it cant be because of Dereks threat to do well, which i,m sure he will, as this is what we all want, to race against the best. There must be something else that stops him getting in......... SO WHAT IS IT, BE HONEST AND TELL THE TRUTH, before we lose another great fancier :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiedoo.

Tony C Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 When applying for a lottery grant you are in essence applying for a grant to benefit the local community (via your club or organisation). The club/organisation constitution shouldn't conflict in any way with whats declared on the lottery application (to benefit the local community). Is it not deception if on one hand your agreeing that your application is to benefit the local community then on the other hand disallowing someone membership of same community for no valid reason. If you accept the grant I think you have a moral obligation to accept the terms of it along with you own submitted declaration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IB Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I know that my fed has a rule on vetting applicants, it was originally done 'unofficially' but has now been ratified by SHU. A number of clubs in my fed have also refused membership on grounds of bad behaviour. Lottery grant funding does not affect your fundamental human rights, right of association also covers right not to be involved with constant 'troublemakers'. However, if you can't fly against someone and beat them, way to go is to fly a better pigeon, not put better flyers out the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anto Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 theres way to much of this going on in clubs people afraid of the compition its not right fanciers been refused membership because there better flyers and put more work into there birds i can understand clubs wanting to protect there selfs against members that cause troble and it can destroy a good club but they have no right stoping somebody because there afraid of the compition there cowards and shouldent be aloud get away with it there in the wrong game if there not willing to fly against the best thats in there area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IB Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 what do you mean bad behavour or is it a bad past history i e banned before No, this doesn't involve a banned member. One example, a member leaving one fed to join another, a financial matter in previous club needed 'clearing up' to new Fed's satisfaction, before application was accepted. Other example concerned a former member who had made life miserable for everyone in former club, constantly picking on people, especially officials. Reapplied and application was overwhelmingly declined. Then applied to other clubs, and had application declined for same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest frank dooman Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 only half the truth comes out when we get this every year a club has the right to let in who they want and it allways comes out its because such and such is a great fancier as stuart says feel sory for the person concerned but there were other clubs in the area (SHU) why did they not let him in? lets not just go down the one side of the road there is allways two sides to a story and the club is quite rightly saying nothing on here the agm is where it should be disscused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
