RPRA Rule Changes

[Ian Evans]

So you and others were the authors of the propositions and others such as Dave followed your lead,, copied and pasted etc and submitted what you had written word for word.
Effectively others did what you had suggested, I’m sorry but I’m struggling to describe what has clearly happened without using words that you will undoubtedly object to.
I shall not be commenting further as it is clearly pointless, all will out on the 28th and I will accept the result whatever it is, will you?

It does seem pointless, I agree. I'm sure I will object because they will be based on ignorance.! I don't know who you are (you have declined to confirm ) but I have a good idea. How dare anyone do anything to Challenge the status quo and threaten the power that people perceive they have, hey !

Will I accept what happens on the 28th ??? Of course why wouldn't I. What I won't accept is the actions of some people and groups throughout the process and I'll reserve the right to challenge and help others challenge the actions of some.

Any member can attend the AGM, unless you were a Regional delegate to council you would not be able to take part in the business conducted but you would be welcomed as an observer to see how matters are conducted and in your case see first hand what happens to the propositions submitted by you and your friends.

Why would I want to do that. I already know how it will pan out! Now, if I could come along to vote....

Please tell me what you think is wrong with that Bowbroom as I dont understand where you are coming from.
I believe I represent the majority of the fancy by being a bit of a "layman". I am certainly not as well educated as your goodself and definately not as well spoken.
In short, I am that person that would put the commas and full stops in the wrong places!
Lets be honest, to get anything proposed and adopted, you need a solicitor to write it. What is the difference in asking someone to write it that knows how it should be presented OR are you insuating that "luddites" like me
(no offence to any other normal fanciers) would never be able to infiltrate your little clique because we didnt get an O level in English language.
Perhaps that is what you rely on to keep the clique safe.

The CAPTIVE RPRA membership has NO choice but accept the result. Those who run the RPRA know this. This is why the rules of the RPRA are so structured. With an ever decreasing membership of ALL Unions, the day WILL come when the other Unions in the UK, WILL open their boundaries to attract members for their own survival. When that day comes the RPRA will realize their days as a Union are well and truly numbered.

Hi King, hope you're well mate. So what would happen if I and others refused to pay our subs to the RPRA.?

[Winfort Lofts]

We would be considered defaulters and be banned from racing.

You would be considered defaulters and be banned from racing in RPRA affiliated clubs. But you CANNOT be banded from racing. It just takes a few members to form a club and you can race under your own rules. Many forget the RPRA doesn't OWN your club (clubs own themselves). Your club/Fed CHOOSES to affiliated to the RPRA or any other Union.
Clubs & Feds within the boundaries of another Union could pay the RPRA what is owed, and simply leave. If a 'New' Union was formed you could just join it.

The National clubs hold more power than the RPRA, if they joined together, and decided to go it alone they could see off the RPRA overnight.

[Diamond Dave]

Could I join one of the other unions ie Nehu and still race my birds in my club? I am just so reluctant to pay anything towards this old boys club.
I really dont see why the RPRA should have the monopoly on everything. I think every one would benefit from an alternative.
It certainly wont come from the national clubs from what I saw at the EM region agm, as they have the mnfc in their pocket.!

No Dave you can't on both counts. Your not in the NEHU boundary and you club is affiliated to the RPRA.

[Diamond Dave]

Thanks King and Neil.
Sorry for all the questions guys but I really dont know how everything works.
Can someone please tell me what clubs get out of this affiliation?
I dont really want to bother all of you aces with all this trivial stuff but I am not on facebook and have no intention of going on their chat forum.
