Recruiting new Club Members

Watched this club for several years David through articles in the BHW, doing wonderful job, doubt if there are enough dedicated fanciers in other areas to take up the challenge.

Still too many selfish ALL RIGHT JACKS.

Pity.

i couldnt believe it misty, when i read that 151 clubs have 5 members or less, and even more shocked that 5 clubs have 1 member .........

That's the way its going I.m afraid. We have 12 members in our club a few are in other clubs so hardly race in our club , a couple send every now and then but we have 5 members who send every week and those 5 are very hard to beat , 2 of them are probably with the elite category of flyers. So still a very strong club for now

club dad was in had 144 members in the 60s there were also 3 other smaller clubs which were easier to win in few years ago it had 27 now i hardly read about it in the results

i think our club has around 18 memberships ........with around 6 being partnerships , so that will make around 24 actual members .

years ago Friday and a Saturday didn't mean so much to a family as it do to-day one of the things i notice that has changed on these 2 days they all have to go shopping it seems a big thing now and then buy it on the internet

just been reading of another well know fancier calling it a day for health reasons
simo think he is from the west midlands

i just cant see many starting up with the expense ,time and now bird flu and politics for channel racing ,shame but true

certainly becoming harder the hobby of pigeon keeping, what with prices and restrictions the grip is getting tighter .......the whole racing thing either inland or channel is gradually getting shut down bit by bit .

for those registering to fly the channel, i wouldnt count on being able to .

Pigeons will be gone within 15 max . I hate to say it but it's TRUE. All the ones in there later years will be all gone . One loft racing is big now which helps if you can't afford to race your own ect .
