Coober Pedy Cock Bird Special - next week the Cock Bird Special race
birds will be released at least 30 minutes after the open race. We
invite flyers to enter cock birds, this year it is $10/bird and we
are NOT offering the 5th bird free option. We will pay a minimum of
3 prizes, 1 prize for every 50 birds entered. All nomination fees go
into Prizemoney, thanks to SAHPA COM. We encourage flyers to enter
birds, many a good stock bird has been found out of this race.

Marathon Challenge - The SALDC committee have ruled that the original
adverts for the Marathon Challenge clearly stated that "Interstate,
Country and Local Flyers are invited" and therefore pigeons paid up
for the series that are to be raced out of another flyers loft are
eligible. For example a SAHPA flyer can pay the $70 and place one of
their birds in another flyers loft.
Next week pigeons nominated earlier this year for the Marathon
Challenge are eligible to compete in the Coober Pedy leg of the
challenge for the prize money pool.

Sires Produce 2027 - The SALDC Management Committee have decided to
not run the event in 2027. We invite any interested participants to
take up the opportunity to reinvigorate the event or start a new type
of event. We are happy to assist anyone with information and
documentation. The LDC took on the responsibility of running the
event over 30 years ago when the Special Races Sub committee of the
SAHPA who use to run the event merged with the Long Distance sub
committee. Over that time we have handed over the keys for 3 new
motor vehicles and most likely more than a quarter of a million in
prizes.
