Opportunities for Smaller-Scale Participants report

August 4, 2016

Attended by about 40 participants on Sunday 31 July 2016 at The Meadows, this workshop had a unique format, with no panel and an extended open forum session.

The day began as usual with a welcome from GRV’s CEO, Alan Clayton, followed by a presentation by Craig Armstead, General Manager, Club Development & Member Services on the results of a survey about issues of concern to participants, as well as a proposal currently being developed by GRV to reallocate prize-money.

 


The floor was then opened up to questions from participants, with Alan, Craig & other Senior GRV staff providing answers on topics ranging from Policy to Prize-money.

After the lunch break, everyone broke into groups to workshop three questions:

  1. What changes could be made to the racing program and grading system to allow a higher percentage of your greyhounds to have a racing career?
  2. What facilities, services or advice would allow you to get a higher percentage of your greyhounds making the track and having a healthy racing career (please explain in detail the related issues that affect smaller scale participants)?
  3. In terms of breeding, what are the current issues that affect smaller scale participants and what solutions need to be implemented to fix them?

 

It was a stimulating workshop and gave GRV much food for thought in its ongoing considerations of the ideas thrown up by all the workshops so far.
