Roland Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Personally I think the 1st of January is / was quite adequate. Where does one want how early it is to stop? B. Earlier the better and ALL want to steal a march eh! Simple fact is in that scenario NO march on any competitor can or will be gained. I know, instead of breeding good 'Late Breds' let us put next year's rings on them eh! Just what and how can December be the time to send OUT next years rung youngster! Gosh one can already have youngster racing to big youngsters! Just what more does ones want? Besides being detrimental to the birds well being.

Williedoo Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 55p a ring from the shu Is it 55p for plain rings from SHU as they were 34p for Fed rings this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philg50 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 All it does extend the breeding time for youngsters that can be raced by July some fowk if they dont get 2/3 rounds off their doos they wont have enough to loose during young bird season its really IMO bluddy ridiculous ,i would have number of rings restricted to 30/40 max per person then fowk might look after them better instead of the attitude thats on the go today breeding birds to make up for losses .

Kyleakin Lofts Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I'm quite happy to wait till January, but point I'm making is......SHU stuck in the dark ages, the Belgies pair up in November I don't understand why you think that the SHU is stuck in the dark ages and what the reference to the Belgians has to do with the SHU. If fanciers wish to follow suit regarding the Belgians, then let them. If you pair your pigeons on the 30th November they should lay by the 10th December. If so, the eggs will hatch on the 19th December and the young will be ready to ring around the 26th December at a push. This means they are 2017 bred and should be rung as 2017 pigeons. What has this to do with the SHU not issuing 2018 rings until 2018? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingziemckay Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 a 2018 pigeon should be born in 2018 and rung in 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change may be required, but it will never happen when the Membership do not attend the AGM. This apathy is taken to signify that everyone is happy, so continue as before. Grumbling on an internet platform will never bring change to any organisation where there is no attendance at the AGM.I have raised the ring issue at Delegates meetings, both cost and quality.

Again it will not happen, especially given non-attendance at AGM. I accept that many members live closer to the area where the AGM is held than some others, but that is exactly the reason why the AGM is held in that area. I have not managed to attend an AGM since becoming a Delegate due to childminding activities and Federation duties, but hope to sort that failing this year. Reports at Delegates meetings intimate that only one or two members attend the AGM apart from the Delegates. Not all Federations have their Delegates in attendance, so it would appear that only the Federations within close proximity to the AGM have representation. Members should either attend the AGM or instruct their Delegates at a previous Federation meeting. Notices of Motion require to be in the Secretary's hands prior to 31st October to gain entry to the AGM agenda. You will never alter a closed shop unless you open its doors.

DJWa Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 then maybe its time for postal votes as not all live around the corner like u Andy rotate AGM round the country Alan likewise the shu show priced a train to it the 1st year it started was £74 plus the 3 hours travelling to then 3 hours back why not have then in perth area at the least far fairer and more central this is not a new thing 40 year ago guys birds hatched in December and got their rings on 3rd Jan just in time to ring them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
