The Committee of TROA has recently had to reconsider the self-nominated Winning Member of the Year Award.
As of 2007, all Gold Card holders (25,000 in total!) will become members of TROA and therefore eligible to enter this award. It would be lovely to list all of your winners but the TROA office is not ever likely to be in position to process that many nominations. Thanks to all of the great sports who have entered this competition in the past and best wishes racing your horses into the future. |
