Following the Judges Review of 2018, the Board would like to draw your attention to changes in policy. If you are regularly competing, a full or part time employee in a professional showing yard or a Producer, then the Board would prefer that you did not apply ay this time. It would be deemed more appropriate to apply when your commitments have reduced.
This year the Annual Assessment Day will be held on Wednesday 10th October 2018 at the Addington Manor EC, Addington Bucks MK18 2JR.
