RPRA Oct meeting

[king]

So are you saying King the RPRA is hemorrhaging money annually & will never be in a position to say they have balanced the books ever.
Why does it cost that much to have a meeting King, you can see why the overheads are crippling, only a matter of time before we all go past the point of know return.

Yes they have been 'wasting' money for years. Members can expect increases EVERY year.

The RPRA is in financial surplus now the cynical might say that’s because subs have gone from £10 to £38 in 3 years

simple maths. Less members MUST PAY MORE.

I am not saying this to be facitious in any way BB but I would imagine that their membership would be on the rise - maybe wizh natural wastage it might at least be stable.
would be very interesting for everyone to see if the details could be obtained and compared.

Are you for real? Are you really saying the other home union's membership is on the rise Their is NO home Union that membership is on the rise. Please stop thinking the RPRA are responsible for the decline in pigeon racing because that simply isn't true.

Their still in surplus. So whatever way you look at it and however much it might hurt you king that's a positive. The current team at the RPRA have certainly done a better job at sorting things than in the past I don't think that can be argued against.

A couple of years ago i asked one of the top table of the RPRA were the 380.000 pounds had gone and he hadn't got a answer .I cant find the balance sheet on the RPRA site from the agm but it said they took 368.000 in subscriptions and levy .SO that makes it about 10 and half thousand members at the start of the year cheers jack

No one be it an association or individual is responsible for the decline in members in the U.K. and the near continent it’s a simple fact of life, the hobby no longer appeals to the majority of youngsters and that is the end of the matter.

In my opinion (I believe I am allowed one) there are a lot of gullible pple around that believe everything the RPRA say.
From what I have seen and experienced none of them can lay straight in bed.!
And Goose. Pls stop putting me down everytime I speak up against the rpra I am entitled to say what I like - it is sposed to be an open forum.
And yes, I do believe there wiuld have been a steady migration from the rpra to other unions and would you blame them?
Prove me wrong then shout me down and I will accept it otherwise stop aczing like you are the RPRA police.

SHU had 1469 members season 25’ against 1569 in season 24’. Similar to RPRA a 15% drop

[Bowbroom]

I believe that will be the case mas o menos with the other unions

See the post below yours from Johnbee. I don't need to say anything else to you except take your blinkers off and stop spouting absolute baseless nonsense.
