i would of thought the rpra would have had a 'club guide' to cover this...if they don't they should. i'm interested in this just to know how clubs work

[pjc]

why do you want to start a new club Dave?

[Guest]

first get some members together,sort out youre club rules.

appoint officials.sorry first find clubrooms.apply to youre local fed for

membership

No point applying to a fed for membership if you haven't got affiliation to your region as others may object to the forming of a new club.

[Guest]

Rules 17-22 covers everything you need to know

 

 

Application for Affiliation

17. Any Club, Society or Organisation having

its headquarters within the United Kingdom

and having as its principal purpose the racing

or showing of homing pigeons may apply for

affiliation to the Association.

Any such applications must be:

a) made in writing by 1st February stating

the full names and addresses of no less than

eight members of the applicant Organisation;

accompanied by a copy of the rules drawn

up for the conduct of the applicant

Organisation, which shall include all the rules

in the Association's Standard Rules for

adoption by affiliated Organisations and

ensuring that all requirements of Rule 149 are

included, and

c) a written statement by the Organisation of

the reasons and the justification for its

affiliation

d) made to the Local Region Committee for

the geographical area in which the

headquarters of the applicant Organisation is

situated.

18. If an applicant Organisation has complied

with the foregoing provisions of this Rule the

Local Region Committee to which

application has been made may declare that

the applicant Organisation will be

provisionally admitted to affiliation to the

Association. The Local Region Committee

will thereupon cause such provisional

admission to be advertised in at least two of

the papers devoted solely to the sport of

racing and showing homing pigeons

circulating nationally within the United

Kingdom. Such papers shall be selected by

the Local Region Committee which shall be

obliged to ensure that the cost is kept as low

as reasonably possible, such cost to be borne

by the applicant Organisation.

19. Any member of the Association, either on

his own behalf or on behalf of any Club,

Group or Local Region, may object to the

admission of an Organisation by submitting

an objection in writing to the Secretary of the

Local Region Committee within 21 days from

the date of publication of the advertisement of

provisional admission. Any such objection

shall be signed by the objecting member and

if it purports to be made on behalf of a Club,

Group or Local Region shall be signed by an

officer of such Club, Group or Local Region.

20. The Secretary of the Local Region

Committee receiving any such objection shall

give details of such objection to the applicant

Organisation. The applicant Organisation

may submit an answer to such objection and

any such answer shall be in writing. Neither

the applicant Organisation nor the objector

shall, without the consent of the Local Region

Committee, be entitled to make any verbal

representation to the Local Region

Committee. Any objections and any answer

from an applicant Organisation shall be

considered by the Local Region Committee as

soon as practicable after the expiry of the 21

day period during which objections are

permitted to be made. The Local Region

Committee may admit or reject the applicant

Organisation. The decision of the Local

Region shall be final. If the objection is

upheld, the applicant Organisation cannot reapply

for affiliation for a further 12 months to

any Region of the Association.

21. If no objection to admission of the

applicant Organisation is received by the

Local Region Committee within 21 days of

publication of the said advertisements or the

Local Region Committee decides to admit the

applicant Organisation to affiliation to the

Association, the provisional admission of the

applicant Organisation shall become

operative and the Secretary of the Local

Region Committee shall inform the applicant

Organisation of this in writing.

22. No applicant Organisation shall be

admitted to affiliation to the Association

unless

(1) the rules drawn up for the conduct of such

Organisation are consistent with these Rules

and oblige all members of the applicant

Organisation to comply with these Rules; and

(2) if the name of the Organisation includes

the word ‘National’ unless membership of the

Organisation is open to all members of the

Association.
