2009 Annual National Youth Race
CALLING ALL AU JUNIOR MEMBERS!
Karen Clifton, Executive Director
The American Racing Pigeon Union (AU) is proud to announce the 12th annual National Youth Race. The AU is the only pigeon organization that offers a national race for youth. We are proud of our junior members and are excited to recognize them for their participation.
The 2009 National Youth Race will be held during the AU Convention in the Fall River, MA area. The loft handler for this one-loft race will be John Ferreira. Race day will be October 22, 2009. The race will be a 200-mile race from Ilion, NY and is open to all AU junior members.
John will be assisted by a team from the New England Racing Pigeon Association. John is building a brand new loft to host this race and he will only be handling AU National Youth Race birds. Junior members’ entries should be sent beginning March 1, 2009, directly to John. There is no fee for AU junior members to enter birds in this race. Juniors may send in two birds; one designated as a primary placement and a one designated as a back up.
Each competitor will receive a certificate and the top ten will be mounted on a handsome plaque. The top place will receive the plaque and a trophy. Additionally, he or she is invited to attend the 2010 AU Centennial Celebration convention as our guest!
Please call the office (405-848-5801) or email (augrow@aol.com) for an application. Applications should be signed by a parent or legal guardian and returned to the office by no later than
March 1, 2009. As soon as applications are received, we will send notification advising of shipping details.
Applications must be received prior to shipment for entry into the race.
We hope you will participate and look forward to hearing from you soon!
