2012</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The board of Racing Queensland Limited (RQL) </B>has resolved to remediate the significant damage caused by the recent flood at the Capalaba greyhound racing venue.</div> <bR> <div> This resolution is subject to RQL’s insurers approving the estimate of damage costs from the accredited building and venue solutions service provider.</div> <bR> <div> The anticipated timeline for the remediation work required to recommence racing is approximately six weeks, which should enable racing to resume in April 2012. If practical, Racing Queensland will endeavor to recommence trialing as soon as the necessary infrastructure has been remediated and all OH&S issues have been addressed throughout the facility. </div> <bR> <div> In the interim the Ipswich Greyhound Racing Club will continue to conduct weekly Saturday Class 4 meetings. Racing Queensland and the entire greyhound industry are extremely appreciative of the committee of the Ipswich Greyhound Racing Club who have offered assistance to limit the impact on those stakeholders that frequent the weekly Capalaba meetings.</div> <bR> <div> Although there is a considerable cost associated with the remediation of the Capalaba facility, the board in making this decision was conscious of the necessity for the greyhound industry to have access to a straight track for both racing and trialing.</div> <bR> <div> Racing Queensland participated at a meeting with SEQ Water on Friday, February 17, 2012, which was initiated by the Member for Capalaba the Hon. Mr Michael Choi MP. The objective of this meeting was to ensure SEQ Water had a comprehensive understanding as to the impact of the continual flooding in this region on applicable user groups and to discuss options to limit the frequency of these events and volume of water that inundates the infrastructure. The meeting was extremely productive and Racing Queensland will continue negotiations in this regard.</div> <bR> <div> For further information contact Brian Moss on (07) 3869 9753.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="216"><div> <B>Do you have a</B></div> <div> <B>GOOD LOOKING</B></div> <div> <B>Greyhound ?</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.greyhoundstakes.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.greyhoundstakes.com"><B><IMG SRC="1fdc8560.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="342" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></A></div> <div> <B>The ALL NEW Racing Greyhound Ekka Sweepstakes.</B></div> <div> <B>Check it out !</B></div> <div> More classes - more prizemoney - more trophies - more sashes.</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.greyhoundstakes.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.greyhoundstakes.com">www.greyhoundstakes.com</A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER COLSPAN=3 HEIGHT= 178 WIDTH="797"><bR> <div> <B>Following a meeting between Racing Queensland and the QGBOTA,</B> Racing Queensland has taken the decision to provide free entry at Capalaba race meetings to trainers with greyhounds engaged at the meetings. </div> <div>  </div> <div> Additionally, Racing Queensland will also be formally corresponding with all other Greyhound Clubs to request that they consider providing similar privileges at meetings conducted at their venues.</div> <div>  </div> <div> This initiative will be introduced at Capalaba from Saturday 26 November 2011.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Racing Queensland would like to take this opportunity to thank the QGBOTA for bringing this matter to its attention and look forward to continuing to proactively address issues raised by industry participants with the QGBOTA.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="1007" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#000000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#000000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="13fe8410.jpg" border=0 width="1000" height="321" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
