HAGLEY WINS NORRIE GALBRAITH TROPHY AGAIN!
We have been awarded the prestigious Norrie Galbraith Trophy for the third year running!
The trophy is awarded to the Club whose British Championship event is voted the "Best in the Season". In 2007 and 2008 we won it for the June Loton Park event, but in 2009 it was the Easter meeting which was voted the winner. The award was presented to President Tony Millard & Clerk of Course Jim Gazey by Championship co-ordinator Tony Fletcher during the Championship Awards Dinner held at Chateau Impney. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a "hat-trick" has ever been achieved since the inception of the award.
