OPEN SHOW dates will be published here but Championship Trophies allocated to Societies will only be shown after
their current affiliation has been confirmed,
and their Trophy Application received and processed by
the Trophy Officer
according to the FBAS Trophy Rules.

Please quote your Society's Affiliation Number in all correspondence to the Trophy Officer and by completing the necessary space on the Trophy Application Forms
(download HERE - 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 (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.
