SUPPORT OFFICIALS

It is extremely disappointing to note that Rob Walton ,in my opinion a dedicated,experienced and succesful convoyer has resigned his position from the WDA.This is a significant and unwelcome loss to our association and I hope that everything possible will be done to change his mind. This season has been extremely stressful to say the least and many difficult decisions have been made.The weather has been the worst in living memory and poor racing has been common throughout Britain.Our officials have acted with integrity and in the best interests of the birds. Unfortunately their integrity has been questioned on numerous occasions often in an aggresive abusive manner especially through the Internet medium.
I wish to urge all our officials to continue their good work and realise that many members are grateful for their efforts
