The Committee of Management met on Wednesday 14th June and have revised the Race Program to include 2 extra SE races and one less North race from Coober Pedy, in total there is now 12 North Races and 9 South East races. Please check Points/Programs tab on Home Page to find the revised 2017 Race Program. We have also published the Tossing programs for both the Ford F100 and Hino Duttro. Please note 4x South East Tosses have been scheduled on the Hino, we hope all the members that requested the SE tossing will support this, the committee will review the viability after the first 2 tosses. The Committee also agreed that the official 3 years of South East racing which was agreed at the Special General Meeting last year will start from 2018 and this year is not included as one of the 3 years as the season has been compromised by the Rotavirus.

At the Special General Meeting held on Wednesday 24th May, 2017 the members sat through an Overhead projector presentation summarizing all the points to be considered about whether to conduct a race program in 2017. Information about Rotavirus outbreaks, low mortality rates, status of vaccine trials, information from both Dr. Colin Walker and Dr. Rob Marshall was presented. Concerns from RSPCA, ANRPB, SA Canary and Pigeon Society was discussed. A letter from Keith Homing Pigeon club was also reviewed. An outline of what interstate clubs are doing was discussed, members debated the For and Against arguments. The SAHPA Committee explained that they will serve the members based on what they decide. A voting slip was then filled in by the members present, 72 For, 25 Against. Therefore the SAHPA will proceed with the race program starting as at 1st July, 2017. The Race Program will be updated on to this website tomorrow. The Training Units will both start running this Sunday 28th May at normal pick up points and time, the Training Program(s) will be on the website by next week.

Special General Meeting Wednesday 24th May,2017 at 7pm. Committee will present the For and Against arguments for Racing the 2017 season. We will provide the latest information on the RotaVirus plus results of PCR tests done on Adelaide lofts that had the outbreak. The COM has prepared a race program for 2017 starting on July 1st should the members vote to Race. We will also have both Training Units ready to start on Sunday 28th May if required. The SAHPA Committee will serve the members, which ever way they vote, we DO want members to be fully informed with all the issues when they make this important decision. There has been conjecture on whether we can allow proxy votes or postal votes, unfortunately our constitution only allows for financial members being present at the meeting to vote. We will have voting slips handed out, as members arrive and get their name checked off, so please arrive before 7pm.
