Are the cost affecting the sport?

Talk about anything racing pigeon related here aslong as there isnt a section for it.

Yes Winfort I do remember - well there you go, you already have the basis of a "central agency"
Not surprised about the negative feedback from the RPRA because it involves changing the current practices.
Honestly - how easy would online registration be along with payment of subs etc etc etc.
Keep it all to hand Winsfort. I think you will soon reap the benefits of your efforts and initiatives.

Will you and your friends be having another go at revolution next year? Has the efforts at collusion as happened as last year already started?

Ha - ha, wouldnt you like to know, the only thing I can say is that you better tell your own "friends" on the RPRA council to start putting your counter objectives together now.
The next 'revolt' wont use the RPRAs own inpenetrable defences which was the route to change that you recommended to me (we've already established that is like flogging a dead horse) but will come in the form of something a little more diverse that the current 'corrupt' hierachy ( just my opinion) have no control over and will not be able to stop.
Councillors ready! Contenders ready!
Who will win.....?

Like I said BB the proposal route is fruitless and pointless.
You need to inform your friends that the revolution is coming and the time for "free-loading" will soon be over!!!

Seems a repeat of what you said last year. No doubt you will be instructed what to do nearer the time by your friend the prime mover again

Like I say, it's been built as a proof of concept, just to see what sort of thing would be "difficult" to implement.

If I'm honest I found it rather easy, and had most of it setup in about 3 days, admittedly that's probably just down to how my brain works!

If someone is interested in picking it up, then that's fine by me, in whatever form that may be!

Sounds like you may have the blue print for an alternative to the RPRA Winfort.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

No need for comments like that BB. I have been courteous in not calling you and your friends at the RPRA 'dinosaurs' because I know it touched a nerve, so no need for you to be condescending.

Well done Winsfort. The RPRA have no concept of how easy modernisation could be.
