Whenever I've read or listened to what Ian has to say, it strikes me he speaks a great deal of sense. I will be downloading and reading the proposal with interest. Thanks to Ian for putting his effort into creating change. 👏
I was a member of the RPRA for over 50 years (I still have birds as a NWHU member). The RPRA never changed in that time. Those running it don't want change. While everything Ian has said is what is needed to save it., those in charge would rather go down with the ship. And since the subs increased, there is less chance those in charge will change. Good luck on any proposals.
Very well put together! Absolutely what is required at the RPRA right now! Well done Dan & Ian, as well as the others involved in the proposals! Fingers crossed we can can get this through as many regions as possible and set the mandate of change! The outcry from last year should show that there are still many people who are interested in the change! Atb! 🎉
So i completely agree with all ian has to say. Issue we have in the east midlands region is no clubs are told when the meetings are! I suppose this is probably one way of stopping change
Is there not a central calendar that shows all dates for all regions? I'm sure it's announced in the BHW but that'll only be useful for those that subscribe.

Ok, I have only just joined the racing pigeon game, and when I say only, I’m yet to have a race…..but I am ready to get some young birds etc,,,in Jan,and do have some stock birds…. I’m not new to Pigeons, but the sport and politics are new to me, the racing club I have joined is very small and a very close group. The RPRA seems to be an odd set up, I have heard it called a business on more than one occasion, yet votes are needed to change how it works, despite it costing more money to run than its pulling in, that doesn’t work, it changes, or it goes under? You are right, people don’t want a say, they just expect it to work…..but again, if it aint coming in, it can’t go out, so there is only one outcome, if it doesn’t change??
Why have a centrally run organisation that isn't centrally run, It's a complete misnomer, For me to make UK pigeon racing better it needs to be similar to the Belgian system where we race in each loft code area with provincial, combine, federation and club results being implemented, I'm more than happy to discuss this Dan, Politics in pigeon racing drives me mad as we are there to enjoy our sport
Change will only work, with people working together. To move the sport forward, and make the sport more affordable and getting members back to having their say.
@@karl212 Well it is the only chance people may get, it works over in Europe and around the world. People working together for the good of the sport, also promoting the sport. I hope it happens Karl212
This had made people think this year and some feds thinking of moving over to the north west homing union our fed meeting is on Thursday for just that reason
I think, from what he said, individual rules would normally be voted on one at a time. But some regions might vote on the proposal in one go (which would surely make more sense?) assuming it makes it that far.
@@thepigeonchannel Yes everyone had to get online to register their lofts so it can certainly be done, either by club mates, family, friends or the club secretary.

Thank you both for taking the time to put this video on 👍
Brilliant Idea bout time We add change.
Well done Ian, you can only try your best,
Thank you from me for trying

Your club delegate should get an email from the region secretary, I know I did, I'm delegate for my club

Does the Regional Secretary know who the Club delegates are, as I am not aware that any request has come from them
@@pigeonracerTV
Hopefully this man is listened to and everything goes thru

The trouble is fanciers dont know how to work together....to much back stabbing and bitching in the game ....

Older people without internet surely they could get family or friends to pay there subs online for them
I think the bigger thing is the charge for joining now it was a serious price increase last year
Would be better to vote on it on block and not cherrypicked

If each member got there vote and forward it to there club secretary
It's wrong to think someone else can sort payment on Internet they may not have families
Club mates?

@@pigeonracerTVcorrect some just try and out hurdles there that arent there
