The Racecourse Association is the trade association for 59 of the 60 racecourses in Great Britain. The RCA works on behalf of racecourses to represent their views within the sport through the tripartite structure of the Members’ Agreement alongside BHA and The Horsemen’s Group. Outside of horseracing, we work alongside the Government, other sports and leisure venues, and national charities to meet the needs of racecourses. Additionally, the RCA encourages and facilitates racecourse community engagement, involvement in horse welfare initiatives, responsible drinking campaigns, and various other partnerships within the sport.

This is a really important article in today's Racing Post from Anna Lisa Balding. Racing Welfare works tirelessly to support British racing's workforce. So much of this work is never seen nor acknowledged due to the strict confidence between the charity and its beneficiaries. It is not an exaggeration to say that Racing Welfare has saved lives, and will continue to do so. Everyone involved with British racing should read this article and consider how best to support the charity which is there for them at all times: https://lnkd.in/e8hsSzyB

Last week I had the most incredible couple days in Scotland for the The Racecourse Association Ltd Showcase Awards. Enjoying a raceday at Musselburgh Racecourse before an excellent day of seminars and workshops. "Inspiring" was the word frequently mentioned by all in attendance! Onto the evening and although we didn't come home with an award on this occasion, we were incredibly proud to be shortlisted in the marketing category. Catching up with former colleagues, friends and celebrating fellow racecourses success. What a fantastic industry I have the pleasure of working in. 🫶🏇

A fantastic evening in Edinburgh on Thursday for the industry’s annual racecourse awards where Chelmsford City Racecourse won its first-ever The Racecourse Association Ltd Showcase Award, winning in the Marketing category for our “Pick a Winner” campaign. A thoroughly well-deserved achievement for the whole team who have enjoyed a really successful year across the board and do a phenomenal job in standing out among the 59 racecourses nationwide. Our Remembrance Raceday received the Highly Commended accolade in the Racing Together Community Award, whilst our Good Friday Race Meeting narrowly missed out on the best raceday. Lots of inspiring work happening at other racecourses who we look forward to collaborating with.
