Brian, this has to come like a slap across the face. I'm sure there is a method to follow in requesting disclosure of stated reasons and that should be the route to start your inquiry. At some point the CKCS Club will have to answer publicly if they turn down many good citizens requesting to join for the betterment of the breed and certainly the KC will be interested in this latest aberration by a Club set up to be a stalwart supporter of the breed. Follow logic for your answers.
Hi
I thought i might have been given some reasons why I was refused this ending leaves so many unanswered questions could it be
1) I have posted here and on Dog World showing obvious support for Karlin and Margaret C
2)They have decided to be totally undemocratic and formed a closed shop against people who would not pat them on the back and tell them what a wonderful job they are doing for our beloved breed
3) Is it because I was proposed by Margaret C and are they victimizing her through me
4) They are just not nice people and only like sucking up to each other on their breeder forum it goes from Bet to Rod to Norma to Rod to Bet to Norma and so on and on but they are amongst NICE people unlike us lot.
Shall i contact the K C and J Harrison of the TV programme and advise what a closed shop they are putting up and again trying to downgrade and sometimeshe ignor the growing SM problem ,with comments like if we stop mentioning it Jo Public he has a short memory and we can therefore when its all gone quiet and that programme has dimmed carry on showing and inbreeding just like the good old days cos really SM doesn't exist does it ,What a load of Cobblers
Remember what Groucho Marx had to say about joining clubs: "I wouldn't want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member!"
Sometimes you can accomplish more by not being in the club. At least they can't try to kick you out of it.
Hi
Not happy Dawn just phoned and said a letter has arrived from above turning us down as 3 committee members voted against us . Will post full details later[/quote
What a sham this club has turned out to be, I would say the reasons you gave why you thought your membership had been refused are bang on correct.
I know what I would do and that would be to notify everyone, the KC, The Independant (very supportive of canine health) Passionate Productions and THE DOG WORLD NEWSPAPER.
I am sorry this has happened to you Brian, I am ashamed at being a member of this club but also feel if I resigned from membership than I and my husband would lose the right to vote next year.
