Cliftonlad Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Fred look at my post in February on the Aberdeen Federation board under race programme 2017.That is what was decided at the race committee meeting. All fed members are not PB remember. They just go by card, but if it's a miss print does it really matter For twa three mls. Not worth getting upset about Willie hing in pal.

Not worth getting upset about Willie hing in pal.It's either a misprint or the minutes of the Race Committee meeting were taken down wrongly. So my racing will now start a fortnight on Saturday because i don't like Thornton as a race point for y/birds and theirs no way i would put them there 3 weeks running. I think a lot more Fedmembers that compete in the y/bird racing will be dreading it. I will wait and see how much birdsthere are on the transporter this week and who sent them before deciding if i am paranoid or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McKay Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Fred look at my post in February on the Aberdeen Federation board under race programme 2017.That is what was decided at the race committee meeting. It. Does not matter what you posted Willie (right or wrong) the Official Fed programme issued to all members stated 3 Thornton's Why has it taken you 5months to notice it ? Who wants 3 Arniston's ? Who's stupid idea was it to have 3 races from any race point ? The idea of a race committee was that all clubs would vote on the programme they wanted and bring it to the meeting that's not happening and what we have is a select set of people with there own agendasWe get very short notice of a race meeting and cannot give members the 7 days notice of a club meeting to decide what they want I complained last year and the reply was are you serious, my complaint then went in file 13??????That,s the situation we have your comments about a shambles are correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway i know it will be 3 Thorntons now so end of, but not for me. As i said in a previous post i have never looked at the race programme because i new what it was and had no need to.

Your disappointment Willie but look at from my point as club secretary that was what I was given to hand out and had no reason to disbelieve it The 5th July was a printing error as was the spelling mistakes which is the same mistakes as last year :emoticon-0136-giggle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williedoo Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Well i think the 3rd Thornton is a printing error as well.Are there different kinds of printing errors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McKay Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Well i think the 3rd Thornton is a printing error as well.Are there different kinds of printing errors? No but some are more understandable than others !! Problem is why has it taken 5 months for this to come to light Why did a member of the race committee or an official not notice this because nobody's interested you know that One thing for sure it's not my fault so don' t have a go at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnQuinn Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Why is it Not decided at yer AGM?.....If it's because it would take too long tae get through all the business ye should have a Race Program AGM where the members decide and no just a committee. You'll no end up any happier but at least ye get tae vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been involved with pigeon people for far less time than yourself John, I am nevertheless sure you will agree with me that they are unable to agree on the colour of snow. If the members use their vote at Club level they are still being allowed their say. If the Club reps then perform their task the Club is being given its say, but this time far less people to disagree in regard to just exactly which colour it is. The final decision may be arrived at with somewhat less rancour and there is a better chance we agree that snow is actually a sort of greyish white greeny blue colour.

I think the weather will decide how many send to 1st yb race, and it doesn't look good for Saturday, but weather forecast changes daily, ill wait until Friday afternoon to make my mind up ..... All the best mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
