Today (Sunday) the emergency committee have had a meeting to agree a way forward
These are unprecedented times that we are in and they have made decisions for the rest of the season for racing and charges.
The race programme is based on IF !!! we are allowed to start on 6th June at present this is not confirmed plus at present the only site that has confirmed to be available is Thoresby Hall they informed Brian on Friday that they are reopening the site
French racing will depend upon regulations at the time
Charges are based on the fact we have lost income for the races the races that have not be flown and will apply for this year,they can be readjusted at the 2021 AGM and Finance Meeting for next season if the membership wish.
As normal in pigeon racing there will be members who will disagree with the decisions made but please remember all posts are up for re-election at the 2021 AGM

Maidstone changed to a basket price as it was felt too many baskets were going partially full when we charge per bird
This year there will be no channel National so £1 membership fee will not be due
Prize money for National Races will be paid to the first 10 based on the percentage as published on page 5 of the handbook ,by doing this we will pay a total of 30 % less by omitting positions 11 to 20
