robbiedoo. Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 you would think you coming into the club would be good for themselves aswell by using you as motovation to try harder to beat you at the same time making themselves better flyers . i wander how the members would feel about themselve reading all the support your getting here pretty sad i would hope . good luck.

robbie Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Exactly, if you are within the radius you should be accepted i moved to Pittmedden (just outside of Ellon, Aberdeenshire) some years ago and could not gain entry to any clubs in the surrounding area, as i was not in their boundry??. 'no mans land i was told' i eventually gained entry to the Inverurie club,with much thanks to their secretary at the time, Doug Bolton, about 15 miles from my loft, but could only fly for postions within the FED, no club positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiedoo. Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 sad when you think about it is it at the end of the day its just a hobby if you didnt love your birds so much the sport would be finished with the way some people carry on just cant understand some people.

There are members in Aberdeen as far north as blackdog, Belhelvie, Newburgh etc and members in the north fed as far south as Hatton. Somebody has to be the the longest flying and some body has to be the shortest flying. That is a shocking situation to be in and both the Feds and the clubs in them need to have a long hard look at themselves. I have been a member of both feds and in my opinion some of the clubs in these organisations could do with all the members they can get. All the best, Paul.

Totally disagree Asha. Apathy is the biggest threat to our game, and the biggest problem in our game. The "i'm alright Jack" attitude you show in your statement regarding Delboy reeks of it. We should all stand together to keep the sport going and allowing people to race. I don't know Delboy on here from Delboy Trotter, but the lad should be allowed in his nearest club unless he is a proven undesirable character or a defaulter. The problem of good fliers not being allowed in to clubs just because they are competative seems to be increasing every year. It doesn't matter about Delboy? I wonder what you would be saying if it was you that was without a club and it was you that was being spoken about in that context. SPORT FOR ALL, NOT JUST THE CHOSEN FEW. Good luck in your quest for a club Delboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck in your quest for a club Delboy. Here here Davey. If he was a crap flier he would have been accepted with open arms and would probably be club secretary or president by now. It is all about the guy's ability as a flier he is too much of a threat to the club i.e he would win too much. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a genuine reason for not allowing. But the Rules of the land supersede any by local laws. And any and every club, constitution has the right to put into place Rules and proceedures. Now, as time changes, so does the Spirit intended' obviously with regards why the 'Rules was made / adopted. So, like radious, etc. etc. there are, and must be rules to safe guard each and every club! As such, ungentlemanly conduct for instance, covers a multitude of sins. So as long as a 'Club, concern, institution stays withi the framework of the agreed mandate, then it can't be classed as discrimination. However, all rules and laws are open, subject to examonation, and if found wanting, or unjust, then they must be altered accordingly. There thn becomes the issue of our governing bodies nad they want, desire, to enforce these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IB Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Taking discrimination into account, everyone has a right to membership of any club of their choice. But it cannot be made an absolute right because this may interfere with existing members rights: for example the right to choose whether a known troublemaker should be allowed membership. I have direct experience of such a member from some years back, a very good flyer, who provided desirable high standards of competition remarked upon elesewhere in the thread, but who also made everyone's life pure misery, particulary officials whom he openly berated, bawling & shouting at generally everything & anything, and creating a really bad atmosphere in clubs' premises. Nobody needs to put up with that kind of behaviour. People in various clubs have since declined that person membership for that very legitimate reason.

Roland Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Very true I.B. When I first started up on my own, I took a few shillings and went to a few Y/B's sales. I met a fellow there for the first time. He spoke, and I answered. He asked my name and I told him. 'EH! he squawked down his nose 'if your anything like your dad you will be bloody useless too, strays and crap is all he ever...' and on it went. this all within 3 minutes into meeting this toe rag. Barry - who incidently was the Fed president and whom had he's first birds of my dad, a darn good flyer to boot, litterally grabbed my arms and moved me away. A few others quickly came to my side for they knew the distination I'd quickly had in store for him! This horrible crap sack, who was about 55 years old, needing sorting big time. I was deciding whether to just gently choke him till he went blue and quietly bash his face a few times on a table. Or just splatter the uncouth ignorant cretin! Barry and a few mates kept me well away from him. Seems he had only ever had won two races in 30 odd years eh! That he was in a club with 3 other dozso of like - mind drivel. Why? Well after he had upset a few in a club, he resigned AND tried to join others. Not one would have him. 4 or more years went by when he and the other three formed their' club. Did any club protest as they well could have? No, as Barry said, as long as we don't have to have him, or them near us, good riddance, let them get on with it. Now, solemnly speaking, just who wants cretins like that in a club? Answer no one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
