RPRA strike again!

[pjc]

who's seen page 3 of this weeks BHW?

When did they pass the increases in transfer fees etc?

 

Another rip off!

[bewted]

only trouble pjc,,,,,,,,everyone will complain about it,but,no one will do anything about it as the fancier as a lot will never all be together ! jmo

[pjc]

yep, and they can change rules, increase fees etc without consulting the membership!

[bewted]

if the fancier as a lot done the same as the NEHU,,,,,,,,,then things might improve possibly,but,who dares to go that road !

First i heard of it Phil, how much to and when?

[pjc]

if more and more members join the NEHU as they are to buy rings and the radius increases then the RPRA will have to do something or price themselves out of the market.

 

 

Pete, from 1st Jan 2010, transfers £2, foreign ring reg £1, Distances £2, Loft locations £3, Lib site £2.50,

[Guest tom123]

that forgien ring regisration  how many for a £1 phil

[pjc]

£1 per ring card

[OLDYELLOW]

the transfer fee was to cover the cost of there new database and computers surely this should of been paid for by now and should be nil , so the increase is just another rip off by the R.P.R.A , I think the R.P.R.A should be scrapped and made from the membership or at least run by a buisness man to improve racing in the U.K , ex boys club that knows nothing about the fancy has no idea how to move it forward , as long as were goverened by the R.P.R.A the more likely this hobby is going to disapear

[Guest lenwadebob]

It's time the majority got together and formed a new Union based on fancier requirements and not Holiday funds and Jollies for head office

[pjc]

how much to process a transfer, 2mins to enter on comp, photocopy, 2 envelopes and 2 stamps!

[bewted]

its ok to all talk here about it or anywhere,but,no one will ever do anything or get enough fanciers together to do anything at all about it,,,,its been said year in year out,,,,,,,even when i was a fancier from 30 odd years ago,,,,,still no improvement but allways downhill since and will go downhill more yet !!!! jmo

But surely, we are not forced to be members of the RPRA.  There is nothing to stop anyone forming another union/organisation, and running it as they see fit.  The problem is that there will always be those that complain but don't ever seek change by way of action.

 

 

[OLDYELLOW]

there is as the R.P.R.A wont recognise a new union as a union

Anyone can opt to join any union however they will still be goverened by the one that covers there area as will be racing under R.P.R.A rules and the federations are operating under these rules, theres nothing more than id like to see the NEHU and unc cover my area , but they dont

There is very little choice, have you ever tried to get onto region and be an elected council delegate?

If you don't already belong to the oldboys network you havn't got a cat in hells chance and that where the changes have to be made!

yes, but you don't have to register WHU rings with the RPRA!

[Guest tom123]

good job there making enough without whpu rings phil

[stan p]

if the N F CLUB pulled away from the rpra then it would be the end for rpr i think that is what

is keeping union to gether

[OLDYELLOW]

the problem lies here they are the union and we cant change that were nothing more than members , and can anyone see a vote by all members to change the way region and head office staff and general manager are elected ???? and dont you think these dinosaurs would over rule any movement to protect the job for the old boys brigade ???? were stuffed they wont regonise a new union , only way would be to start a shadow union build up the membership  then affliate the federations then employ staff to do the map jobs , database jobs ectra , devise rules , and give more power back to the pigeonmen who have been neglected for far too long by an out dated regieme run in to the ground by dinasaurs that dont know there extinct yet

[Guest lenwadebob]

Does that matter? At this rate there won't be R.P.R.A if members go elsewhere. A Union is only as strong as it's members Mark

you would need to be a R.P.R.A member to compete in races governed by your union theres the problem you cant leave R.P.R.A , join another union as your fed has no affiliation with them which means if you won a race it be void as you arent a member

Not so OLDYELLOW, there’s absolutely no reason why a federation cant race under their own set of rules. What could the RPRA do about it if they did!
