The COM have set the SAHPA Capitation fee for 2020 at $200 per member, a reduction of $20 from last year due to the Treasurer being able to de-register the SAHPA from GST. The new Affiliate fee is now $100. Thanks

North Suburban sale correction, $500 bonus is split $325 to the trainer and $175 to the breeder so if you buy back your own bird and it wins you pocket the $500, an incentive for anyone to donate a bird. Cheers

SAHPA Top 30 Aggregate Points Auction - A big thank you to members that donated birds to our sale, we raised $7113. Thank you to Tim Fawcett of pigeonsales.com.au for providing such a great service to the SAHPA, Tim donates his time and auction site to the SAHPA each year for no charge, our only expense is the photoshopping. The average price was $245 for the 29 lots, some of the top prices were $826, $625, $505, $435, quite a few in the $375 price range. The funds raised will be used on a project at the SAHPA Hall to improve our roof guttering, down pipes, drainage to the road. It is great that our top flyers support the SAHPA by donating each year and we thank the fanciers from around Australia that purchased the birds and we wish them every success.

We have been advised by Tim Fawcett that due to the wonders of modern technology, laptop & wi-fi connection, he has been able to start the Top 30 sale. So it is now up and running and any interested parties can commence bidding. The Sale will end as normal on Sunday night. Thanks to all of the flyers that donated. Good Luck.

Notice to all Members, Unfortunately, due to a family emergency Tim Fawcett has had to catch a flight to England. The Top 30 bird sale will be delayed until he returns. All bird's photos have been taken and they are being well looked after. It could be a week or two before he is back. This will also affect the 2 sales that are currently running at present. The highest bidders will still be successful but the bird cannot be despatched until he returns. We will notify members by text message when the Top 30 auction will start. Tim has asked that Members refrain from phoning him and all contact if necessary to be by email. Thanks John Harper Secretary SAHPA Inc.
