what job do you have in the club

what do you do to help out , i.e. sec .ringer . clocks. ? or are you one of those that does now!t, and moans at others ? .

I always used to do the basketing and rubbering, but since they started using ets I don't bother , seems too many know alls milling about, plus I havnt raced so rarely go down there to the club.

Secretary and my wife treasure because nobody else will do it...most in my club do nothing. They cannot get away quick enough

sounds like our club meetings ray, topics to discuss last about 10 minutes, and are dealt with as quick as possible, then its to the bar for beer......its not really worth having a meeting

My dad is the member of both clubs we always stay and load the baskets on the wagon and take the empty ones back to the club head quarters.

I'm secretary and ring secretary.
Resigning this year though as I've just become chairman of a boys football club

your not packing in pigeons are you boosey ...?

Oh no lol

was worried then boosey, thought we were loosing another pigeon fancier.......

i just sit back and have a good old firkin moan its much easier seriously though ,i help basketing doing the ringer putting birds in crates and sealing the crates and loading the wagon ,have been asked to do a joint race controller roll seems a bit strange maybe the current race controller is planning some time off

So you do your fair share..that's the thing now with ets as soon as birds are registered they are off..I tried and will again to just like the old days make them wait till all birds are sealed up and ready to go , but I doubt it will happen because the pub is more important to them .they forget we have lives outside pigeons as well

yes ray its as nobody cares ,once the birds are in the basket ,that's all they require , they don't think of the responsibility they leave it to anybody , but they are the first to moan if it goes t**s up

They certainly do moan .especially behind my back lol..when I confront them they always say the same thing ...It wasn't me ..

like kids

I`d say half of our club members sit on their ars*s and do nothing, it always seems to be the same few who do the work......

Yes and first to moan when things go wrong

dogsbody, usually first there and last to leave

sounds about right edgie...........

When I get to club house usually one of the first there so I set up ets system and sit on clock and carry birds for race a lot just come put birds in then off they go

have a rota Ray, thereby all partnerships/single flyers will be represented every week and everyone does there fair share

Ian, do the whiteleas not do rotas? thought I saw something on the board about it

Your kidding paul..tried all that sh**e .they just swap make excuses why they can't stay ect ect..waste of time...but you know who the real pigeon men are. ..The ones still there at the end putting the baskets on the transporter every week...even after a full days work

I know its difficult Ray but at the AGM mention banning for a week if no turnout for rota, but I know it would be difficult to police it, especially with us only having a few members
