Just to clarify the intended vote - each member should vote in ORDER OF PREFERENCE as the programme receiving the lowest number will fall. Not sure exactly how it works but I think if any programme secures more than 50% of the vote it carries, I stand to be corrected. Members will note the Programme (c) from Ligoniel HPS is mass liberations all the way from race one. We have tried almost everything over recent years but a long time since we had mass release all the way. Will it make any difference, I don’t know – think we should give it a try to find out.
The Old Bird programme as printed here was the only one received which met with correct dates and race points, all others received were ruled out of order. The old bird racing for 2022 will be as follows.
Starting 16/04 Tullamore, 23/04 Roscrea, 30/04 Gowran Park, 07/05 Fermoy, 14/05 Pilmore Beach, 21/05 Skibbereen OB Nat, 21/05 Fermoy, 28/05 Talbenny (1), 04/06 Talbenny (2), 04/06 Fermoy & Fermoy 5 Bird, 11/06 Bude, 11/06 Skibbereen Yearling Nat, 18/06 Penzance & Penzance Classic, 18/06 Fermoy, 23/06 St Malo OB Nat or Plougastel-Daolas.

Re: Voting Young Birds 2022 -
Retiring NIPA president Davy Mawhinney is seen here presenting the Presidents Chain
to the incoming president Mr Paddy Murray from Killyleagh representing Section F.
Davy congratulated Paddy on his appointment and wished his well for the future.
Davy has now completed his 2-year term, which he said was an honour and a privilege for him, something he never expected, and it must be said it was the most difficult 2 years from the conception of the NIPA 76 years ago with many changes and meetings within his tenure.
The NIPA vice chairman Mr Pat Mcloughlin thanked Davy on behalf of the NIPA for all his help and advice during his 2 years and wished him every success for the future. Davy thanked Pat for his kind words and wished the organisation every success for the future.
