Apart from being FBAS-affiliated for the current year, Societies are reminded especially in respect of sending the Trophy Officer a final Show Schedule containing sponsors' advertising material (DOWNLOADABLE HERE) at least FIVE WEEKS before the event.
Equally important is the RETURN OF OPEN SHOW RESULTS within the specified time following the event. Failure to comply will result in the non-issue of Trophies.
