CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE This is the time of year when our thoughts focus on our upcoming awards when we will celebrate the achievements of the champions of our great sport. I certainly don’t envy the members of the Greyhound Writers Association as they complete their deliberations to arrive at their conclusions about the leading performers in the five categories, Sprinter, Standard, Stayer, Marathon and Hurdler, before turning their thoughts to the big one – the GBGB Greyhound of the Year. This year’s awards are taking place on Sunday 29th January 2017 at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London, EC1Y 4SD. It’s a stunning location for the celebration of our sporting year. Tickets are priced at £85 per person for the glittering black tie event and include a drinks reception, three course dinner, wine and dancing until late. If you would like to join us call 0207 822 0907 or email awards@gbgb.org.uk Before then we have the now well established BAGS track championship, taking place at Perry Barr on Friday 23rd December. If you have never been, I can thoroughly recommend the day which always provides an excellent afternoon of sport but if you can’t get there in person, you can also follow the action on Sky Sports. 2017 looks like being another challenging year for greyhound racing, but if we all work together we can make real progress, let’s give it a go, shall we? A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from me and my dedicated team at GBGB. Barry Faulkner Chief Executive KENNELHAND OF THE YEAR At the Greyhound of the Year Awards human categories celebrated on the night include recognition of 2016’s Kennelhand of the Year, sponsored by BAGS. The winner will receive a trophy, £500 and accommodation at the Montcalm at The Brewery Hotel, London. GBGB relies on owners, trainers and friends to nominate the person that they deem worthy of national recognition. GBGB chief executive Barry Faulkner said: “Anyone in the industry can forward their suggestions to us, not only owners and trainers, but we will need a few lines explanation as to why, in your opinion, the person nominated is worthy of winning this much sought after award. Kennelhands are the backbone of our industry, putting in hard work and long hours, showing exceptional dedication to the sport they love and we want to hear about who you think should be recognised for their contribution to greyhound racing.” Nominations must be received by Wednesday 4th January 2017.” A panel comprising a number of industry experts will meet to discuss the relative merits of each nomination. Email awards@gbgb.org.uk with the subject line; ‘Kennelhand of the Year 2016. Please don’t forget to include your own contact details. This year’s awards will be held at The Brewery, London on Sunday 29th January. Tickets are priced at £85 per person and include a drinks reception, three course dinner, wine and dancing until late.
