Indeed, the option for complimentary meals may be forfeited by the Club Manager to allow more Club Members to attend the meeting. The Club Manager will always do his best to accommodate all Members wishing to attend. When this is not possible, and demand exceeds the number of badges available a ballot will occur. To allow more members to attend a meeting and if the facility is available, the Club Manager may choose to opt for a syndicate room. If this is the case the Club Manager or his representatives will organise who gets access to the parade ring. Members wanting to apply for an Owners’ Badge will be given details of how to apply for badges and should comply with the instructions given. The Club Manager will endeavour to give Members as much notice as possible so that a ballot (if necessary) can take place in good time prior to the event. Owners Badges may not be transferred to or used by third parties unless it has been approved by a member of the Club’s Management Team or their representatives. Club Members without an Owners’ Badge must not enter the parade ring or the Owners’ and Trainers’ facilities.
