i wonder why george .......

i tell ya now lads ,stuart waldrop was a good manager and down to earth but the hangers on at the rpra made things difficult ,seems like the report has been edited a few times eh

ive read some fanciers saying ian evans was a good manager darren ? he wanted to run things properly but they made it so he resigned ...?

he has a lot to say on pigeonchat

i`ll try find it george, whatever fanciers opinions i reckon its a dirty move just weeks before racing, they know they have got fanciers over a barrel if they want to race ..

the rpra has a manager ,a president and 3 vice presidents why ? i tell you why ....to give clout/advantage on votes ,etc... i have no doubt that ian evans was a good manager and same again his hands were tied ...they should do away with the hangers on and just have a manager end of ,a man who cares about where pigeon racing is going and to run the rpra with reflection on how many members are left because pigeons will never be attractive enough to make up the numbers of the past ...so we are left with preserving what is left and attracting maybe enough new starters to hold the present number of fanciers to actually make pigeon racing viable ,good grief this lot at the rpra at present seem to think its the 1980's with 50 members clubs.even though members numbers have diminished dramatically i just wonder if the rpra staff has to suit ,less workload =less labour no ...

I honestly believe etc here O/S on average, all the recent Ian Evans types there, had good intent & the motive to improve the situation for the betterment of the sport in general for your RPRA & it's members. When you have though sadly, absolute moron types I suggest like the half whit type apparently who it appears actually tore the Hall report to shreds to show his lack of intelligence factor back when, when first put up for general discussion by those in charge there at the time like Ian Evans. Tells one where the problem lies perhaps in certain ways I suggest. End of the day   many who should have known better there I suspect should hide under a rock perhaps now & just let better men/women if available do what they were utterly incapable of doing in acting in the best interest of your sport in general I suspect/suggest & the general welfare there of your pigeons. Now for any rock types watching, if the shoe perhaps unfortunately fits somehow, it's a total waste of time ringing me down here etc I'm as I'm now near stone deaf in my old age & half blind to a certain degree   .
