2008 CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY ALLOCATION

Subject to ratification by FBAS Council

FBAS-AFFILIATED SOCIETIES ARE INVITED
TO APPLY FOR TROPHIES IN THE USUAL WAY

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR 2008

Only SINGLE FISH Classes (B-M, O-T and their 'splits') will be eligible for a Championship Class Trophy. Breeders and Pairs Classes may form part of new Competitions (yet to be finalised).

Championship Trophies allocated to Societies are published here subject to
their 2008 affiliation being confirmed, and a Trophy Application being received by the Trophy Officer.

The easiest way to do this is to quote your Society's 2008 Affiliation Number in all correspondence to the Trophy Officer and by completing the necessary space on the Trophy Application Form (Download HERE).

Note that there are two sides to the Form to download.

PLEASE NOTE:

Allocation of Championship Trophies is dependent on Societies fulfilling the Trophy Rules requirements.

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 at least FIVE WEEKS before the event. Failure to comply will result in the non-issue of Trophies.
