Notification of gatherings to AHPA

Notice to Club & Federation Secretaries

This is a reminder for all Club and Federation secretaries that during the racing season APHA must be informed of the intention to bring together multiple lofts for the purpose of pigeon racing, and this would include marking for a weekly race.
Although it is called a general licence, no actual licence is issued – they just require to be informed, but please be aware that no gatherings will be allowed in a Surveillance Zone or Protection Zone.
