General Business
This year the WPF will be organizing the Yolla transport and welfare of our race birds. We have been advised by Wayne Harkam that we can take 12 units which need to be shared amongst all federations.
As a result we have allocated WPF – 4 units ; VRPU – 4 units; Greater Melbourne and Geelong members – 4 units.
WPF members will have a 10 bird limit.
Given this is the first time organizing Yolla we have realised for 2016 race season, WPF fliers will be asked to nominate how many birds they would like to enter at the start of the year. This should allow better utilisation of the space allocated.
Prize money was increased from $3 to $5 per pigeon.
