NIPA News Update - October 2021
To chart a way forward the NIPA Committee, recommend that each area should be holding a Section Meeting of all the local club delegates to consider racing in the past season and put forward suggestions to be considered as a way forward at a future date. When all area reports are returned his will enable the Committee to put forward resolutions on where changes are required to be made to satisfy as far as possible the total membership bearing in mind the future of the organisation. There is no doubt that major changes will be in place for the season of 2022. The Secretary Fred Russell will do his very best to attend any of the Section Meetings he is invited to, Sect B have already arranged a date for their meeting and Fred has been invited.

At the NIPA - Any age racing is under consideration for the first three young bird races with results published for both old birds and young birds, nothing confirmed but mass liberations starting in Mullingar. The Mid Antrim Sect B will hope to include a start for the local lofts one week earlier from possibly Navan. Let’s get good weather and training started earlier. At the minute discussion is the main point and after an unforgettable season in 2021 we must make some drastic changes to protect the future of racing and give the birds as much help as possible protecting their welfare. Drug testing will be in place and will be carried out on a regular basis, new testing kits are now available.
