Think the capping proposal was put forward exactly has the proposer wanted it.Although there was no date,he meant it to cover dogs now and in the future.gary farmer said:wrong i was a rep once and its how the proposal is put farwardrodders said:Not the commitee's fault Maurice.The proposals were voted on by the membership.Although alot of voting forms haven't been returned It is a democratic vote with the majority vote being carriedjasper. said:to many f***ing chiefs in the bwra.
not giving people the correct options
there was no option on the proposal form asking when this action should start from
that was taken out of all the members hands
ill wait for comformation before i get to worked up but will not let this drop

:luck: :luck: :luck: :luck:Fleesh said:I should hope that any decision made would run from the date that is was officially publicised to all members through the most correct media. In this case a statement in the whippet news valid from the date the magazine was made available for purchase. I know not everyone reads/buys the magazine but it is considered the most relevant source for communication of official information in our sport.
To ban dogs already born, or dogs due to be born up until the date the infomation was officially publicised would in essence be retrospective punishment for those having already bred litters at a time where having a larger dog was not "against the rules" (in a manner of speaking). IMO those with pups/a bitch in pup already should not be penalised for past actions which were not at the time in contravention of any decisions by the BWRA and their fellow members.
Goodnight all, wish me luck in my exam tomorrow :luck:
Sorry manda but the way i read it wassimpson said:PEOPLE MAY THINK I AM STUPID BUT RODDERS POSTED EARLIER THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT IN BY THE MEMBERS THAT WAS THERE TODAY WHO VOTED,IF THIS IS THE CASE WHY WAS WE SENT A POSTAL VOTE TO VOTE IF IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE VOTED ON TODAY BIT OF A WASTE OF TIME.I VOTED ON A POSTAL VOTE AND THOUGHT MY VOTE WOULD HAVE COUNTED AS A FINAL DECISION IF I HAD KNOWN IT WAS GOING TO BE VOTED ON AGAIN TODAY (STUPID) THEN I WOULD HAVE TURNED UP AT THE MEETING.
ALSO AGREE THAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SCRATCH DOG YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE ON A ISSUE THAT IS ABOUT SCRATCH DOGS,IF YOU HAVE A 20LB DOG WHAT DIFFRENCE DOES IT MAKE TO YOU WEATHER A 60LB DOG RUNS OR NOT???? AND IT SEEMS TO ME BWRA SHOULD NOT TURN ANY MEMBERSHIP AWAY MEMBERS ARE MEMBERS AND AS THERE IS SO MANY LEAVING THE SPORT SHOULD BE GRATEFULL SOMEBODY WANTS TO RUN THERE DOG. :rant: :rant: :rant:
maybe someone at the meeting can explain ..what was voted on today regarding the above ...as its the members that bothered to send there forms back in that decided on the outcomeProposal 1 M L MOTTRAM SECOND C BRECONBREEDERS TO CONTINUE TO OUTCROSS TO GREYHOUND BUT AFTER AN OUTCROSS PROGENY MAY NOT BE OUT CROSSED TO ANOTHER GREYHOUND FOT TWO GENERATIONS. THIS WOULD BE DONE BY NOT ALLOWING THE REGISTRATION OF PUPPIES FOR RACING IF THEY FALL WITHIN THESE CRITERA. AS WITH ALL THINGS IN WHIPPET RACING THIS WOULD BE DEPENDENT ON THE INTEGRITY OF MEMBERS
FOR 123 AGAINST 36 ABSTAIN 13
Proposal2 D SYSON SECOND J MEADES
TO CAP SCRATCH DOGS WITH 55LB LIMIT
FOR 100 AGAINST 54 ABSTAIN 18
Find it hard to belive people are complaing about proposals when only 172 forms were returned when 311 sent. Also if members were that concerned why not attend the meeing
BWRA CAN ONLY BRING IN WHAT ITS MEMBERS VOTE FOR

It's me Mand,and the way I worded my post The vote for capping was carried by members postal votes.(Lisa's put the amount)I queried in the meeting which dogs would it affect,has the wording of Mr Sysons proposal gave no indication has to whether he meant future dogs or dogs that were already racing.He meant all dogs present and in the future.Has this question had already been discussed at the reps meeting,it was decided to put the 2 options I listed to the floor.The options Tony put to the floor were what we voted on not the capping.Hope that makes sense.simpson said:PEOPLE MAY THINK I AM STUPID BUT RODDERS POSTED EARLIER THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT IN BY THE MEMBERS THAT WAS THERE TODAY WHO VOTED,IF THIS IS THE CASE WHY WAS WE SENT A POSTAL VOTE TO VOTE IF IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE VOTED ON TODAY BIT OF A WASTE OF TIME.I VOTED ON A POSTAL VOTE AND THOUGHT MY VOTE WOULD HAVE COUNTED AS A FINAL DECISION IF I HAD KNOWN IT WAS GOING TO BE VOTED ON AGAIN TODAY (STUPID) THEN I WOULD HAVE TURNED UP AT THE MEETING.
