BFA Annual Awards Survey

BFA members are constantly doing some amazing things and the BFA Committee are looking at instigating some new annual awards to formally acknowledge this.  We already reward teams for speed and wins and we recognise dog achievements through the points system, but we would also like to recognise all those achievements which don't currently earn a rosette, a trophy or a glass award.  We have put together a few ideas and are asking the membership for thier feedback on what you would like to see recognised on an annual basis.  We would be grateful if you would spend a few minutes

Records & Stats Team Vacancy

The BFA Committee are excited to announce a vacancy for a Records and Stats Officer to work alongside our current stats officer.

On reviewing the role, we are looking at having a stats team due to the workload being too much for an individual.
