Further to our discussion at our AGM and members giving the go-ahead to put together funding and resources available to come up with a package to purchase a Geraldy container with baskets ,watering/feeding system , air conditioning to each basket fully insulated roof and loading platform that is incorporated in container ,Automatic shutter release system .
One of the fund raising items that requires immediate attention is the young bird online sale
This is how it works
The names of fanciers offering a youngster or youngsters to the sale need to be forwarded along with written pedigree or details of bloodlines /performances to –
Julie Hamilton ,37 Smith Way ,Beattock DG10 9QH
Once Julie has put all onto a spread sheet and forwarded to the RPRA they will download all onto their website ready for the sale date
They provide advertising through the fancy press and their website
It is easy to register and bid following the instructions
Once the sale has concluded successful bidders then make payment to the Rpra and on clearance of payment the Rpra then release the breeders details to the purchaser who then arranges for the uplift of their purchase or purchases .
The Rpra then take 20% and forward the remainder to the federation account
They are fully booked for January 2022 with February being the earliest date for a sale .
They require all paperwork 14 days prior to commence date
The sale has now been booked to commence on February 14th 2022, all details now require to be in Julie’s hands by 15th January 2022
It was discussed at the AGM that federation members would not be asked to pay a levy payment towards the purchase of a lorry/container
It is entirely at the discretion of each member if he or she would like to donate a youngbird with pedigree or forward a monetary donation payable to the Solway federation
The following fanciers have kindly got the ball rolling and I thank them very much for their kind offers having been contacted by Solway fanciers it is greatly appreciated
Many Thanks
