THE FIFER Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 I dont have a balance sheet to hand as i never got one sent to me. I agree if the figures worked from last year and look to work for this year then leave it. I was under the impresion it didnt. they have worked we have a good surplus and racing made a profit Alex this is why I cant understand why, this proposal is being put in, I have a good idea mind you ???
cemetary Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 If its no broken, dinny fix it springs to mind.
cemetary Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Ecky, how did you no get a balance sheet sent to you, get on the dog and bone and get one sent oot, or pop over for one.
sapper756 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 I believe the Fife Fed need to look at the route of the problem. which I believe is the transporting of our birds, for one the trailer is too big for the birdage we send to most races, So lets stop asking members to throw money at the continuing problem, and lets address it. It,s not going to go away, and by masking it by continually throwing money at it, is false economy :-/ Once again this is my opinion, and I do respect the opinion of others
cemetary Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Well said Brian, again stop throwing away money, pay and get it fixed first time.
sapper756 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Fife fed fees are proposed to be £150 which includes 25 birds, there after 25p a bird. The fed has to survive, and it is up to the members to pay their way irrelevant what numbers you fly. If it were to go on birdage alone the fed would not survive. I have been trying to say this to the membership for 2 years now, but hopefully it will go through this year. If it doesnt, the fed goes under, simple as that. This does not include Fed Open Races, 4off, so this is only for a maximum of 11/12 races, roughly £13.64 PER RACE, WHICH IN TURN EQUALS SENDING 42 BIRDS, who says it,s not for the mob flyers? :-/ what about the poor old, unemployed fancier who struggles to send 6 to a race, happy to charge them £13 for that? watch the fed membership fall!!!! :-/
cemetary Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Brian, The Fife Federation cant afford to loose any more members mate, and if this goes ahead, i think you will be looseing a few more, i for one dont wont to see that.

I can afford £150, but I don,t want to see those that can,t. pack in :-/
cemetary Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Fully agree what you have said Brian. :)
alex wight Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Fully agree, if its not broken dont fix it. Didnt get a balance sheet as i,ve moved house, and it will probably have been sent there. I stand corrected that the way it is, works. As long as its fair for all members, then that suits me, as for having money, yes i do, just like you, and just like you, dont throw it away. Archie i understand what your saying we all have opinions, which i fully respect, We will just have to wait and see what happens at the AGM. all the best alex.
weecunny Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 so i how r u gonni help the man that canni pay then cos as a c it he gonni pack in if he canni race his birds
alex wight Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 the fed needs to survive so that he can fly his birds. As the guys have been saying, it worked last year so it,ll work this. No change required.
weecunny Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 1 more year and ther mite be no change a fly the same route and the fed is only 20 so work oot whats gonni happen i agree it shouldni come ti this but it has
cemetary Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Wait a minute here fife pigeon wife, its not about joining the kingdom or any other federation, this topic is about the fees for the fife fed. Your capitals button stuck.
weecunny Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 so has anyone got any ideas on how to help the guys that cant or wont pay the big fees then
sapper756 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 so has anyone got any ideas on how to help the guys that cant or wont pay the big fees then as said b4, put it on the birdage, therefor you pay for what you can afford to send and those that choose to send big teams, then they pay for them.
cemetary Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 At the end of the day, as already been said, we cant afford to loose members, if its to go on the birdage, well thats fine by me, we will have to wait and see what happens at the AGM. Does the Fed need the money, No.
Guest mr mrs arnold sons Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 if you like to race you have to pay what they ask four or you do not race
Guest mr mrs arnold sons Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 when you look at what you pay out and what you get back paying out in fee you will not get back well that is most members club &fed fees win
cemetary Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Yes you have got to pay to fly yer doos, but if the fed isnt needing the money, why give them it for no reason. :-/ :-/
Guest mr mrs arnold sons Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 yes but you tell me why we pay out more then we get back clubs pay out £25- £30 a race first five not a lot
weecunny Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 so what price could the birdage be sounds good till 1 week thers on a 200 birds away what happens then u would need ti ken in advance how many birds r going just so u could break even
