Would advise anyone wanting to see how things should not be done to attend.

Unless matters have changed drastically from my encounter with the mob.

Chairman no idea of the Rules, could not count and a pompous individual backed up by yes people.

Appears strange George, no information on either them.

One good omen, the Bird Flue issue is seemingly getting better.

Think they will follow the agenda and not allow anything else to be discussed.

Cannot see a place for discussing the OL.


Do not think there will be enough time for an ordinary meeting after the AGM.

Regards.

C

Cannot see that happening George unless the previous years figures were wrong.

Would mean around 10,000 new members.

Would be very nice news though if true.

Regards.

Subs indicate membership George, if subs increase by 50%, it means the membership must have done the same.

Cannot see it happening.

Regards.

see the mix up misty the money each member pays the rpra they say has increased by 50%

I took the matter of subs up in the 70s.

I think for the safeguarding of ownership, and the regulating of the sport the subscriptions are more than value for money.

Tis the manner the RPRA is conducted in, an undemocratic manner, that I object to.

The cost of a pint and half of beer for the protection of your pigeons ownership and the regulations relating to fair play in competition is a mere drop in the ocean

Those complaining will probably be leaning on a bar spending three times as much ruining their health, and hundreds of pounds on pigeon related issues.

there is a deficit this year of 56k  when the increase  comes in next it will be 140k are we sinking

If correct George worse situation than I thought.

If this keeps up year on year the whole sport will only need one transporter.

it's a hot topic at the moment Ian x ceo of rpra is a member and makes his views known

a drop of 4500 ring sales is a shock

I am sure George that previously there was the number of members etc; always shown at the same time as the accounts.

The subscriptions indicate the same percentage drop in membership as the rings.

Total membership will be lucky to be 10,000 participating members.

That number cannot warrant an organisation like the RPRA.

Yes George, not much action, but we all have more important matters at times.

Just hope and pray that all are able to cope with what life throws at them.
