it seemed pointless to get a bus to transport you all to Angle Park when you are at the Crowne Plaza.   Commencement will be at 9.30am.</div> <bR> <div> Please remember to bring your affiliation fees for 2011 - these will be $400 as agreed at our previous meeting.</div> <bR> <div> Accommodation has been arranged at the Crowne Plaza and you have been booked to attend the AGRA Greyhound of the Year Presentation Dinner - also to be held at the Crowne Plaza.  The Industry Forum has been scheduled for 2 April and to date, attendance looks like its going to be quite good - you never know with these forums whether you will be inundated or embarrassed!  A bus has been arranged to transport all delegates and AGRA members who wish to attend to Angle Park on the Saturday morning.</div> <bR> <div> I look forward to seeing you all once again on Thursday 31 March, 1 April, 2 April or whenever!!!</div> <bR> <div> Best regards,</div> <div> <I>JUDI HURLEY</I></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 BGCOLOR=#FFCC00 HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="693"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="693" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 BGCOLOR=#FFFF99 HEIGHT= 1031 WIDTH="693"><div> <B>AFGBOTA AGENDA</B></div> <div> <B>ANNUAL CONFERENCE</B></div> <div> <B>ADELAIDE, SA</B></div> <div> SUNDAY, 3 APRIL 2011 -

NSW are interested in the views of delegates.</div> <bR> <div> <B>SPONSORSHIP </B></div> <div> With the recent sponsorship provided to the McGrath Foundation “Go the Pink Dog” - a number of welfare groups have targeted the greyhound industry as being “cruel” and used Facebook to distribute their distorted message.  This has resulted in a “re-think” by a number of sponsors who have not wanted to become involved or targeted.  Delegates are urged to give serious thought to this matter for discussion at this meeting.</div> <bR> <div> <B>SUPPRESSION OF OESTRUS</B></div> <div> A review has been conducted by GA with respect to the use of the approved hormone.  To date, this review has not been provided to the industry.  It is common knowledge within the industry that there is unauthorised use of Testaprop to keep bitches off season.  Delegates are requested to make enquiries within their own state for methods utilised (whether approved or not) to allow a full and frank discussion at our meeting.</div> <bR> <div> <B>GAP - </B></div> <div> The promotion and utilisation of GAP is essential to help silence our critics with respect to “cruelty” and animal welfare issues.  As an Association of affiliated owner/trainer bodies we need to provide the respective state GAP administrators with as much assistance and cooperation as possible.  Your thoughts and ideas will be welcomed.</div> <bR> <div> <B>PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE GRADING SYSTEM IN QUEENSLAND</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>SPONSORSHIP RAISED AND HOW</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>INJURY REPORTS FOR ALL MAJOR TRACKS TO BE KEPT AND MADE AVAILABLE TO TRAINERS ON REQUEST.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>CORRESPONDENCE</B> </div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>STATE REPORTS</B> -
