Guest TAMMY_1 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 DEFRA LICENCE CONDITIONS It has come to our attention that there may be some confusion over the DEFRA licence conditions relating to marking stations. Last year as you may recall only the AHDO at the liberation site end had to be informed. This has changed this year and although the RPRA will continue to advise liberation site AHDOs of the liberation dates etc from your race programmes, the event organiser at your club must also advise the AHDO nearest to the marking station as detailed below. The exact wording of the licence condition is: The Animal Health Offices for the premises in which the gathering of birds prior to a pigeon race is located must be notified of the date, time, location and approximate number of birds (and release location for pigeon races outside the British Isles) at least 7 days prior to the gathering. If changes to the timing of the gathering need to be made at short notice, in the event of circumstances such as bad weather the local Animal Health Office must be notified; this can take place within 7 days. The full licence conditions can be found at http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/notifiable/disease/ai/keptbirds/genlicence.htm UPDATE:- Dear All Further to my previous e mail this morning you may find the attached of some help. Contact details of the SVS AHDOs are on the attached link below. I am advised that e mailing the attached proforma would help them rather than telephoning. http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalhealth/about-us/contact-us/animal-health-offices.htm
