Chairmans Report:

The Chairman’s Report included an update on membership numbers being a record high of 88 active members.

The Chairman also mentioned new developments over the past 12 months including the RSA Golf Day, a refreshed RSA Website, RSA Members being identified on the In The Paddock website, the first RSA Racecourse Awards, working alongside ROA and GBR to arrange seven Ownership Days at racecourses, creating new benefits for members and working with BHA on regulation of shared-ownership.

The Chairman reminded members of their responsibility not to create unrealistic expectations to members, especially on the racecourse ownership experience, but stressed that RSA was working hard to encourage racecourses to be as flexible and helpful towards larger groups as possible, particularly in regard to paddock access.

The Chairman paid tribute to Henry Ponsonby who died earlier in the year.

The Chairman announced two RSA Racedays in 2023, a jumps meeting at Warwick on 24th February and a flat meeting Nottingham- date TBC.
