At present in consultation with NEHU President John Snowden concerning young bird vaccination under the present Government restrictions concerning groups and safe distancing, This has come about after members have raised the question concerning the present situation and vaccination
Unprecedented times need unprecedented actions and maybe for this year we forget about the rules and trust our members to vaccinate their birds without officials been present, the vaccination certificate without witness would still be required to be given to club secretaries, proof of purchase of vaccine would be required by club secretaries
If members abuse the situation so what, they will be gaining no advantage, they put their ybs at risk and if they do become infected who do they turn to having certified that they have been vaccinated
On another point, THE WDA HAVE HAD NO CONSULTATION ON THE COMMENCEMENT OF OLD BIRD RACING
