tiger Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Loads of fanciers will be sickened by this......pigeon men once again doing all they can NOT to sort a problem. Surely another fed could pick up the slack, maybe move a boundary or create a section rather than put folk out of the game? 100 percent right here we must rally to help them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally mac Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just spoke to a well known fancier on phone who tells me his fed clubs have to bring there birds to the central point ,it's up to the clubs to get them there ..our guys want the birds picked up at there door .Wee bit unfair Stuart. Central marking will stop one of our members from flying any races. Maybe only made tge first five races but he Sent plenty. And tge sport needs all tge doomen it can get.

Fair Play Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 To try and help our traveling members Alexandria asked if the Dumbarton club could be considered but letter was never read out at the egm then members would have seen what was asked but believe that still left one club out on a limb.Clydebank could have went to Chryston as in the past it happened at both training and central marking please correct me if I am wrong (ISTBC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally mac Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Who sent the letter tam?I think it may have been Bob Morris our president. At the end of the day we need to get a new committee elected asap so we can then try and move forwards with the clubs we have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even your club after 200 miles there's maybe one or two who still race and again only a hand full of birds but at Clydebank were still send 8/10 crates full ,doesn't make sense to me .

After talking to a few guys that tell me that there outlying clubs have to ferry in their birds as it's impossible to run round , just the same as it is/was with Glasgow for this year .

wullybhoy Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ally thats part of the problem the guys that do the work and go to meetings get shot down by guys that do nothing. So the guy that sent the letter in didnt bother turning up at the meeting? Think your spot on need a top table in place to move foward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Play Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Wullie As sec I sent the letter countersigned by the club President got a phone call to say letter not accepted as I was not a fed member President then submitted the letter on behalf of club members.As I had to give up the birds through no fault of my own I asked if it was possible to be a social member of the Fed but was told there was no provision for it.All this hassle because we tried to make it easier for our members no wonder there are no young men joining pigeon clubs.

Fair Play Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Stuart you go to your club by choice I am sure there are clubs on your doorstep I accept your choice and just a small fact in the agm accounts Alexandria contributed the highest amount of cash into the Fed.sorry to say it will not be the same this year.

wullybhoy Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 None of this is helping the fed out we need ppl to step up we need ideas a we bit of come and go or we are gony end up with no fed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Play Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Stuart arrangement were made at the agm a number of years ago for Alexandria to experience CM M.MANN was our sec at the time race came and when nobody appeared where did they go definitely not the Vale.We are so sorry to be at the end of the line and causing all this trouble so sad as they are one of the oldest members in the Fed.The problem lies in the fact we knew for at least three years that transport could well be a problem and at the last moment we are running about looking for trailers to get the season up and running.I was a VP for 3years and only ever had one call about a race point never party to any other decisions or discussions that were taken SORRY FOR THE RANT just felt sorry for VP jim Ballantine left sitting at the top table like a fish out of water when seems other clubs had already been making alternative arrangements after our letter was sent in maybe heresay in some of this but no smoke without fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Just the same as your club tam ( making alternative arrangements eh) ?we didn't make alternative arrangements we had a contingency plan ? No final decision was made until after the mess last Sunday end of my rants good luck wherever you all are racing this year .🕊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
