On 30 August 2026, EPANSW members and club delegates received an informative presentation from Dr Brendan Sharpe on H5N1 avian influenza. Dr Sharpe shared his time and expertise to outline the importance of ongoing vigilance, robust on-farm biosecurity, and prompt reporting of any unusual illness or mortality in poultry.

We sincerely thank Dr Sharpe for his valuable presentation and guidance. The presentation support material and slides are available on the dedicated H5N1 page of the EPANSW website. We encourage all NSW exhibitors, member clubs and poultry show organisers to download and review this information to ensure they are fully informed about H5N1 and the NSW response.

Welcoming our newest EPA Committee Member – Josh Taylor

The Exhibition Poultry Association of NSW is pleased to welcome newly elected committee member Josh Taylor.

Josh began his poultry journey as a teenager, starting out with Rhode Island Reds, Anconas and Indian Runners. He fondly remembers Mr John List and Mr Alex Cheetham as two of his early mentors, whose guidance and encouragement helped spark his passion for Exhibition Poultry.

Thankfully, the poultry bug has well and truly spread through the Taylor family! Josh’s partner, Jenna, and their three girls — Savannah, Francesca and Harriet — are all involved in the hobby. Together, the family breeds and exhibits Campbells, Mallards and Sussex.

Josh is currently Vice President of the NSW Waterfowl Breeders Association and President of Camden Poultry Club, giving him a strong connection to breeders, exhibitors and poultry clubs across the state.

Josh is looking forward to bringing his experience and enthusiasm to the EPA committee, working alongside fellow committee members and, most importantly, engaging with and representing members across the fancy.

Welcome to the committee, Josh!
