Welcome to the Victorian Homing Association

The Victorian Homing Association (VHA) was the first racing pigeon organisation established in Victoria. It is committed to the welfare, breeding and racing of pigeons and all members are required to comply with the Victorian Code of Practice for Keeping and Racing Pigeons. This Code of Practice is available on the Victorian Racing Pigeon Body (VRPB) website.
The VHA is run by an executive which includes the President, Secretary and Treasurer who act on behalf of the members under its rules and regulations within its constitution.
They hold monthly meetings where both the executives and delegates vote on all financial expenditure, determine the line of flight for future races and any other matters brought to them for consideration.
So, if you are interested in finding out more about the greatest backyard sport in the world or want to become a member, we would love to get you started.?
Please contact the VHA Secretary Steve Brown on 0402 381 490 or alternatively you can email stevebrown9@bigpond.com if you want to make an enquiry.
