7th Training Webb Beach 20klm head wind gusting up to 40klm's, Birds away well then held up by the biggest perigone I have seen, looked like a small plane. When i arrived back at the cage the power was off as Ray McIlduff was working on the new disabled toilet and it must have tripped the power. I turned it all back on and run the birds back outside to run back over the live. Will invest in a battery backup now. Ray said they were home at 12.53, released 11.54, so happy with that.
I invited Dave Spencley and all other Fancy pigeon enthusiasts to show some pigeons at the first race of the Golden Mile One Loft Race on Sunday the 26th of May. Dave has kindly accepted and will have a number of birds on show and possibly some for sale.
Attached is a list of the One Loft Race birds. I have replaced any lost pigeons with my own birds. Please check for my mistakes and if you have any questions, please let me know. PH 0401 818 862

There is a television program in Melbourne called "Get On", it's a horse Racing show on which we have managed to get some airtime with the help of Michael Donnellan. We have offered the 4 panelists 2 birds each to compete in the Race. Any money the four panelists win will be donated to charity. The Association will be donating money towards this as it is a promotion for the SAHPA. For this promotion we will be using Michael Donnellan, Geoff Cawte, Joe Jackson and Peter Burke's entries. These guys will still receive some prize money if their bird wins. Tony Perkins 0401 818 862
