site building in progress...

i will be working on the site whenever i can to try make it more interesting and better for our members, so please bear with me, as i say...im no computer expert so any help or advise is welcome.....

thanks...

well done with site looking good ,keep it up doing great ian

thanks ian, the basic building of the site is done so we can use it and with all the input and response weve had from our members it will get better...we havent as many members as we had on ebay yet but like we say about pigeons, quality is better than quantity...lol

its our good members who will make the site a success....

Hi David

Am sorry but was you the person who started up the membership from ebay as a freind of mine was on there as well as myself

But must say this site is very good can't see the problem with it

hi don, yes i started it up last year, but the only thing that was really wrong with it was that members didnt know when anyone else was on the site unlike this one where it tells you at the bottom. we have 107 members on there at the moment but a lot of them never come on so even though we only have 19 here at the moment we have good members who come on every night more or less and get involved with good help and info....when we started this one i sent out emails to all the members telling them but im not totally sure they got them so that could be why your friend hasnt joined yet....our members seem to like this site and are happy with it, like you told me about pigeons the other week don "quality rather than quantity"...lol

youve just given me a thought there don...i might send another email to all the members...

It will not hurt a thing if you email people again mate was looking throught Ken's articles and to see your loft the one thong that i noticed was the lofts were of the floor but you did not have some kind of mesh around to stop the pigeons from walking under the loft and also to stop any cat from waiting for the pigeons to walk under and as you know cats are more flexible than pigeons this may be the reason for losing that nice young bird??

Just an thought mate

i know don you are right, ive often thought about that.....when i can im going to build a raised flagged platform along the front so it will have concrete blocks all along so they cant run out hopefully. when ive done that i want to paint it but it means scraping all the old flakey paint off first and that will be a pain...the loft looks a bit of a mess at the moment but it should be ok when its done......(hopefully)

sent email to all memebers again don....thanks for the idea, it might bring some more over to us. trying to think how we can advertise the site so more fanciers can join...?

its a constant battle don either watching for hawks or cats.....little by little im trying to make it so cats cant get in so hopefully soon i should have it sorted...

site is very good david,cant see any problems with it, youve done a good job.keep it up

David i see nothing wrong with this site it is spot on to me

thanks don, thanks littlehen, its going good at the moment because even though we havnt many members yet, the ones we do have are all supporting the site and getting involved with topics and replies...so thanks to all our members for making it as it is....

As long as it is helping that's what matters

i think the more that is writen, the more we can sometimes look back and maybe find that piece of info we may be looking for , its always interesting to have a read through and look at some photos of members birds and lofts.
im trying to think what is the best way to advertise the group to maybs get a few more members to join....any suggestions will be appriciated

Try the weekly books the homing world and the racing pigeon

In the racing pigeon every month they have a free advertisement service that may be a start

yes youre right don, i stopped getting it about 4 month ago and i remember they did the adverts at the beggining of evey month...is it to advertise anything or just pigeons, clocks etc...do you think they will accept a pigeon forum....if so ill give it a go.

david sure people will find it soon it will be a success keep up the good work

thanks ian, its because of our good members who come on and post regular why it hopefully will be a success... thanks everyone...

no problem pleasures mine

ian, i think this is a lot better than our ebay site because we know when another member is on line....plus we can keep up with popular topics easier....do you think we did the right thing in changing ? i think ill do what don said and see if i can put the ad in the racing pigeon weekly under the adds section ...

David

You are doing a good job it's just a matter of time before people find out about the site but if you do advertise it may speed up the process of getting new members

And yes it is better than the ebay site

much better than the ebay site step forward just like the ets

thanks for your views, ive just seen in the racing pigeon its only 15 pounds to do a small advert...im thinking of doing one, worth a try isnt and lets face it, its cheap enough...

what you advertising this site

yes ian, what do you think?
