Notice to all Members. Please be aware both the tossing units have been cancelled for tomorrow due to adverse weather conditions. Basketing for the next two Edenhope races is on Thursday night. The Verco Series Hawker race basketing is also this Thursday night. The Gerhardy trailer will be towed behind Don's Ford so the new crates can be used for this race. Edenhope2 Saturday 28th will also give members the opportunity to send birds to Keith, they will be released from Keith on the return journey home (Saturday). There will be no charge for this free toss. Thanks

Members please note that this weeks hampering for Edenhope 1 and Hawker Verco race is Thursday night. The following week Edenhope 2 is also hampered Thursday night. To assist members we are offering a free toss from Keith on the same unit. That is on Saturday 28th July we will release birds from Edenhope 2 race and then truck will return to Keith and release the training birds. Please note the Keith training toss will not count as qualification for the Sires Produce.

Hi All As you are aware we are now loading birds on Thursday night so bird numbers for the crates are 25. If you have crates with less than 25 please attach a label with the number and sex clearly identified. Depending on the total number of crates we may have to merge birds to avoid using the trailer if <108 crates, otherwise if total crate numbers are > 108 we will use the trailer and possibly be able to spread the crates out a little. When texting or phoning bird numbers through by 7:30pm (0448883512) please advise the number of Cocks and Hens, how many owners and the total number of crates. Please don't forget to fill out the loading slip which is to be shown to the Secretary and presented to the loading Foreman. Thanks John Harper

Change to basketing night for Tintinara. Basketing for Parachilna and Tintinara Verco series will be on Thursday night for a Saturday race from both racepoints. The decision was made with a view to assist members with travelling for one night, rather than coming back down to the hall again on Friday night for Tintinara. The Tintinara birds will be held at the SAHPA hall overnight, where they will be fed and watered until they leave. The LDC unit will be used to transport the birds so please use the old style hampers. Thanks
