Latest Update RPRA

Firstly before I go any further I wish to express the importance of complying with the Avian Influenza code of practice. There is a legal requirement to inform the APHA of the venue and dates etc of all markings see https://www.rpra.org/avian-influenza-co ... on-racing/ Inland Racing. Despite information circulating I can confirm that races scheduled to start the weekend of 2nd April will go ahead. Continental Racing I have received a call this morning (25th March) to confirm that the EU has amended the export certificate to include the amendments highlighted in my last update. I have not seen the document but it is in the hands of DEFRA who will arrange a meeting next week ( date to be confirmed) to discuss next steps including loft registration etc. This is clearly very good news.

hopefully things will be sorted out for racing before the season starts .

it seems those who race have this problem every year, what with brexit, avian flu or covid, theres always some reason to prevent channel racing .

the rpra have released a statement regarding avian flu, restrictions / racing etc , its posted on the rpra update topic .

i thought it would have been more or less sorted out by now, but things just seem to be getting more and more complicated and confusing .

Problem David, things could change over night at any time.

Must be a nightmare for all concerned.

Regards.

yes misty it must, they seem to be saying one thing one week, then another thing the week after, seems a bit of a shambles really, but then again most things they do is a shambles......

No training or racing around here for a while, bird flu confirmed locally, nowt we can do about it, always someone worse off when it comes down to it. Smile and carry on..........

Yes David no bother, I just jogged around the garden then done 100 press ups

Sorry, couldn't resist it.

Seriously though they can go out for an hour maximum and locked back up as no open hole allowed.

100 press ups colin ......... i doubt i could do 10 nowadays .
