Death Knell Sounds For Mudgee, Moree And Forbes Greyhound Tracks
Following on from the unpleasant 2009 Christmas surprise sprung on Moree and Forbes greyhound tracks, the two clubs plus now Mudgee have been dealt a similar blow.
At its December meeting, the Board of GRNSW determined that both clubs had not met the requirements of the Operating Standards, which is a condition of registration for every NSW
greyhound club.
The decision means that both clubs will not be permitted to conduct races or trials from 1 January 2012.
Both clubs have been invited by the Board to submit new registration applications demonstrating their achievement of all 16 Operating Standards. Once a new application has been received it will be reviewed by the Board at its subsequent monthly meeting.
Greyhound Racing NSW Chairman Professor Percy Allan AM said it was imperative that all clubs in NSW met the Operating Standards currently in place.
“The GRNSW Board regard the Operating Standards as a vital component of race club administration because they ensure adequate levels of service, efficiency, solvency, safety and
accountability,” Professor Allan said.
“At the beginning of 2011, the Board reviewed and streamlined these standards and the response from almost all NSW greyhound clubs has been excellent in regard to their documentation and procedures.”
Until a decision is made on Forbes' application the club will also not be able to conduct races or trials from 1 January 2012.
