Same again I'm useless at running an auction but we have had many on here so I propose we start one for the 'FIGHTING FUND' and please Tony could you help with the logistical side.
Please people donate something for the auction.
Paul maybe a Fernando Bale vial or one of your rarer sires. Geoff a Mogambo Kevin a Kiowa Mon Many I could donate a pup from one of my Spiral Nikita bitches.
There's nothing like a good auction and we all could give something no matter how small.
Tony or the appropriate person please reply to pilot this auction please And too everyone else post an item you could donate to the Auction.

It's only a scam if people are trying to trick you. A Auction will give a foundation of money and people also get something from it. It all helps 'helps us'.. We are the people the blood that keeps the greyhound industry alive, we need a voice not a dictatorship of do as I say by some governing body that we pay for. Fight. Fight to be heard.
I thought about what I could offer? The only thing I can think of that's worth anything is my wife's halfs in two bitchs one called 'Little Bluebird' that were bought for breeding purposes and I'm sure we could donate a dog pup from the first litter by either Brett Lee, Where's Pedro or Big Daddy cool. They have broken in and we don't count chickens before they hatch but we know one is promising and they will be bred from sooner before later and we'd donate a dog pup to an auction.
Donate if you can.

I thought the proposal put by Paul Wheeler was - GET 500 people to commit $1000 and he would then donate $10,000 to the the ACTION Now we have people running off on different " TANGENTS " without anything being organized / Trust Account being established / Administrative Body etc. - How about ESTABLISHING THE PRIMARY TARGET FIRST . I understand the enthusiasm, however - ONE THING AT A TIME. IF the PRIMARY OBJECTIVE is not ACHIEVED It is a - NO GO.

Spot on Mick, this is just getting silly now... People need to pull the eff up, take a knee and think this through... We all want the same thing, but you can't build anything without a plan.

Paul has come out with a generous offer if " The 500 figure is reached " and now Johnathon is suggesting a " FERNANDO BALE STRAW / OR " from him and nothing is " EVEN REMOTELY " near what was OFFERED. Your right Troy - SLOW THE F--- DOWN

Why don't you two put in, donate or shut up. There's three options so pick one.

How rude after what I offered earlier! Typical of this industry, sad but true.

JOHNATHON - I have consistently said my approach in the " NOW TERM " is - DON,T NOMINATE FROM 01/01/2016 - No good you getting nasty just because a valid point has bee put forward. Your attitude just shows the reason Paul,s proposal needs to be administered with the correct approach because of people contributing to the cause.

Br pro active and make a difference. I've tried to start a fund and also an auction and all people are welcome. It's help that's needed and I have credited you both with great ideas but please help not nit pick. If you have an idea start a thread and get some numbers, that's all I'm trying to do.

John I'm certently not nit picking, I commend you on having a go... But learn to take constructive criticism. I know what it takes to get people to say YES... Knowledge & the the right amount of information, I do it for a living as a Sales Engineer, but I also have 12 years working in a union stronghold within the airline industry, so I've seen first hand how numbers matter and can influence any hierarchy. So all Mick and I are saying is we need to build from the ground up, you're jumping straight to the end of the novel.
Remember your 5 P's:
PRIOR PREPARATION PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE
All I'm reading is WE NEED MONEY SO THE REGULATORS WILL LISTEN TO US OR ELSE! That's stupid and won't work, they'll just take us to court a second time and we'll have to do another fund raiser. Get my drift? I'm on your side, so stop trying to create enemies, we have enough of them! We need leadership, a union, paid members among many things, but most of all we all need to get on the same page! I will come up with a proposal regarding a National Union, and if people think that's stupid I'll step aside and hope it all turns out well. All I want is for this industry to be around for the next 100 years and beyond, I'm sure we all want the same! :)
