Wouldn't mind paying it IF it was going to benefit the membership instead of filling the coffers of the those at HQ. There is a big issue re. BOP that needs addressing and also promoting public awareness, but I think these issues are well down the agenda.

I agree with that.. if they said we're putting 3.50 on to everyones fees, but all the monies will go towards saving our sport and fighting against the BOPs im sure most wouldn't mind..

Surely all in - comings and out- goings appear on the balance sheet..??

i would pay more as long as the other part goes to promote the sport ie getting youngsters involved or going to controll pob problems

 

all the best

i beleave the balance sheet put out every year is not true statement of accounts the depreciation stated is grossly exagerated the ?true cost of meetings does not cover hotel bills or traveling rental for selby house is understated the one loft race when visited the cost is paid by members ie fuel yet only near the redding or rather not far to much hidden for my likeing and as for young fanciers fund was that not stopped by last pres :-/ :-/ :-/

Its not expensive, but it does depend what you get for your money does'nt it, but at the end of the day that is up to each and every member!

If they made transfers, distances etc etc free then you could understand it but why should members pay more so they can have a pay rise and some more jolleys!

Currently £12.50 + 50p medical research. Proposal is £13 + 50p medical research.

fees was in homing world i myself think it is to dear they will lose members next year with putting fees up to £8 per member ie..4 in partnership fees would be £32..........

I already know of Mr & Mrs partnerships that have dropped the Mrs as partnerships fees will be upped to £16!

 

yes i agree that is harsh (particularly for pensioners). overall, i think, £8 isn't bad value..but perhaps the money needs spending a little better. i think the bhw advertising revenues have been hit by (ironically) web sales of pigeons. i also think david bills hasn't done a bad job for his first year JMO
