Club meeting today

Well we had AGM today and what a waste of time..a few didn't bother to turn up as per usual. I wouldn't care but one was s member I was hoping to do ets system for us , but that's why he didn't turn up. Pathetic, no wonder people get sick.. Jayne and I have decided to do another season as secretary and treasurer just to keep the club going but saying that the club is going well. Anyway that's my whinge for the day haha...pigeon men eh

Been one of the main problems in many clubs, the willing are taken advantage of.

The problem is if there were none there would be no club.

They have no shame and just as long as they can participate ????.

Regards.

Yes totally agree but like you say what would they do if I didn't do mist of it .. Pathetic to be honest

Couldn't agree more misty its always the same but the ones that moan are the ones that do nothing at all for the club

So you keep up the good work Ray and Jayne its a thankless job but someones got to do it mate

I do the job because I am a pigeon man not a keeper and I want to keep our club going , but that's life you will always get lazy people who also don't care. I can hold my head up high

Credit to you & your other half there Ray Back bone of the sport I suggest. Small clubs on average thou, unfortunately always rely on a few to do the hard yards I suspect.

Yes , some lazy buggers in our club . Same 2 or 3 do all the work

it will never change,always been the same,the few carry the many.
now with ets its pigeons in clock done and foff some don't know what a transporter is.
at least before ets you didn't get a strike until the baskets were loaded and away.

Same, same here EC men, disappear real quick etc once their birds are done. STB type folk wonder at times if there will be enough in the room to put their birds through type of thing .

Should have a RULE, all manual clock birds put through first.

A rule that manual clocks velocities are worked out first.

Maybe easier said than done but I was chairman of my club for many years and always found a way of getting matters through that were at times detrimental to the lazy majority, you see they always need a chairman and other officials to fly their birds at the least convenience to them.

Regards.

Manual type flyers here Misty myself being one "Old Dinasour types" are classed as having a nuisance factor attached here on average, as a label etc sadly I'm .

No doubt they will wake up when they have to do ALL the work instead of taking every advantage of every possible situation and the membership is almost in the low single figures.

Sorry but I have little or no time for many of the latter day fanciers.

Wrong attitude from start to finish in many cases.

If matters do not change and fast it will be too late.

The obituary columns in the sports publications indicate numerous losses on a continual basis and there is little or no prospect of replacing them, and in particular with their like.

Too much money involved, too much selfishness involved in many cases.

There are many good fanciers but it is these that the sport is losing.

Just look at the clearance sales etc;

Do not like doom and gloom but can see little sunshine unless ALL FANCIERS PULL TOGETHER.

Regards.

I wanted to do that , no pocket clock to be taken till all birds are on transporter. I even tried a Rota but they had excuse after excuse to not stay . Honestly they are pathetic
