Annual TBA Awards Dinner, AGM & Seminar
The Annual TBA Awards Dinner this year will take on a very different format to those which have been traditionally held in January, in London. The evening (Monday 28th June), which is generously being sponsored by Juddmonte, will begin with a Champagne and Canapé Stallion Parade at Banstead Manor, followed by Dinner and the Annual Awards Presentation at Tattersalls, Park Paddocks, Newmarket. Application forms to apply for tickets will be sent to members in April – mark your diaries for what promises to be a great evening.
TBA AGM – Tuesday 29th June
Owing to the change of date for the Association’s year-end accounts, the AGM which historically was held in London on the morning of the Awards, will now be held in the morning on Tuesday 29th June, at Tattersalls, Park Paddocks, Newmarket.
TBA Seminar – Tuesday 29th June
Last year’s Annual TBA Seminar ‘The Breeding Business’ took place against a backdrop of global economic uncertainty and concern for the future of breeding and racing. The intervening 12 months have offered mixed messages: declining prize money remains a key issue regularly debated on all fronts, and production numbers are down, but bloodstock sales have proved better than expected in some quarters, and the breeding industry continues to stimulate the market through bonus schemes and other self-help initiatives. This year’s event will give breeders an opportunity to re-group and re-examine the state of the industry, informed by developments of the past year.
The Seminar takes place on Tuesday 29th June at Tattersalls, Newmarket, and will be preceded by the TBA AGM which starts at 9.45 a.m., and to which all TBA members are invited. Registration for the Seminar will open at 10.30 a.m., and the programme commences at 11.00 a.m., with presentations including economic and statistical updates from Weatherby’s representatives Adrian Crichton and Paul Greeves, and an analysis of the state of the industry presented by bloodstock economist and journalist John Lynam. A buffet lunch will be followed by a presentation from British Bloodstock Marketing and the day will end with an opportunity for UK breeders to hear from Dr Emmeline Hill of Equinome on the Speed Gene Test and the potential for the use of genetic information for breeding and training racehorses.
