We the undersigned DO NOT agree with:

1. The shortcomings and irregularities alleged by the ECF against the UK Federation (stewards & volunteers from the CaniX UK membership, Doctors & First Aiders, Vets, performances from England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland, local dignitaries & The Queen's representative, sponsors and Richard & Eileen Cook) regarding the 2012 ECF European Championship in Cirencester.

2. The action taken by the ECF to ban CaniX UK, Richard & Eileen Cook and the CaniX Technical Committee based on the above which were unfounded, refuted by CaniX UK and did not follow due process.

3. The percentage stated by the ECF in the count of the secret vote. The correct figure is 56% (9 out of 16 nations). ECF Statutes state a vote needs to have a majority of two thirds to be carried.

As a result, we demand the ECF reinstate CaniX UK as a member of the the ECF representing the UK as the UK Federation.

Note: If you are unaware of the reason for this petition, please read the details HERE.

We are currently preparing a formal letter to the ECF board detailing the procedural errors made during the secret vote. Legal counsel is reviewing the statutes to ensure our challenge to the legitimacy of the ban is airtight.

So unfair to Richard and Eileen. They have done nothing but promote the sport in the uk. Really hope this gets sorted out fast

Total incompetence and lack of respect for the rules. 56% is not a two thirds majority. Do the math.

NEVER seen such a mess of a vote. ECF needs to be held accountable for ignoring their own statutes. Absolute Joke.

Shameful behaviour from the ECF. Everyone knows CaniX set the standard for these events. Reinstate them now.
