2017 NATIONAL FINALS IN QUEENSLAND
For those of you that are planning on nominating greyhounds into the WA Sprint and WA Distance heats and ultimately the Group 1 National finals in Queensland there are some important steps that need to be completed to be eligible.
Queensland authorities require that all trainers that nominate for the state heats have signed a statuary declaration regarding their training practices that must be witnessed by a Justice of the Peace.
If this step has not been completed then nominations from the trainer will not be accepted.
Below is a link to a list of centres where a Justice of the Peace can be located to provide this service.

If a trainer has nominated greyhounds in Queensland in the last 2 years and have already completed a stat dec then you will not have to complete another one.
The National Acceptance Form must also be completed and sent through to RWWA for each intended greyhound to be nominated for the series.
The closing date for this first stage of the nominations process is Thursday 20 July at 12 noon.
The stat dec form and the national acceptance form will be available in the kennel areas at Cannington and Mandurah and in the greyhound racing section on the RWWA website.
