Disaster!!

Blast!

Something got into my breeder's loft and killed 26 of my birds, piled them up in a pile under the window.  This will force me to change a lot of my matings, I'm afraid it may be very hard to find a suitable mate for some of them.  Between the dirty politics in the club and this I may have to assess my options about if I pursue this hobby anymore or not...

     I must be persona non grata with our club.  At the last club meeting I requested to have my positive account balance refunded, and that in the future I plan to pay as I go.  The Secretary said she preferred it that way.  I asked if I could stop by the following Monday and was told no as she and her husband were both busy.(Her husband is the club President.)  I told her that was alright how about Tuesday, she told me that she would put it in the mail.
     I waited 2&1/2 weeks then called and got her husband, when I talked with him he told me that he would check and get it sent out by the weekend.  Two weeks later I still had not recieved a check so I called again.  I got her husband again and he told me that he didn't know when it will get done as they were too busy to worry about it.  When I told him that if I didn't get my money pretty soon I would probably get upset as I could use the money!  He told me that when I was club secretary that they always had trouble getting their money from me.  I was flabergasted!  I had never delayed issueing a check to a member if an expense was incurred by a member of the club on behalf of the club!  After telling me this he hung up.
     I still have not received my check to date.  I'm a little at a loss how to proceed without making a bad situation worse.  Our younbird season will begin in about six weeks and I haven't heard a thing since March.

Racing Season

Well it looks like we might not have an Old Bird race season.  Some members that were going to participate are having health problems that will probably make it hard to come up with 5 flyers to make it a nationally sanctioned race.  Too bad, I was looking forward to racing again!
