Bimonthly Stud Staff Awards
2012 Stud Staff Award Scheme
In recognition of the contribution made by stud staff to the breeding industry, the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association provides a bi-monthly Stud Staff Award, consisting of a cheque for £100, a certificate, and one year’s membership of the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association.
The Awards were created by the TBA and are co-ordinated by the Central Regional Representative Chairman, Derek Christopher. Their aim is to reward the staff working ‘behind the scenes’ for all the hard work that is necessary to run a successful breeding operation.
The Award Scheme is open to all – whether your stud is large or small, public or private. It was first introduced in May 2003, and since then we have had numerous well-deserved winners.
Each Award will be presented to winners by a representative of the TBA, and reported in the TBA magazine, ‘Thoroughbred Owner and Breeder incorporating Pacemaker’.
If you have a member of staff who you feel deserves the recognition, please print off and complete the nomination form below, and return it to Stanstead House, together with a written/typed explanation of why you have nominated this person.
