Grandstand Media has announced the takeover of prominent showing society, The Showing Register (TSR) in a pursuit of increasing opportunities for amateur competitors in the 2023 Season.
TSR has been led by Director, Sarah Chapman, for the past 10 years since its establishment in 2012 and she has been passionate about supporting amateurs in showing. Sarah and the rest of her team’s support has given many competitors the knowledge and confidence to pursue their goals in the showring. However, due to a change in personal circumstances, Sarah has decided it is now time to hand over the reins to a new team.
Therefore, from January 1st 2023, Grandstand Media will be the new administrators for TSR. It is intended that by introducing TSR into the group of companies for Grandstand they can accelerate their plans to provide more opportunities at Horse of the Year Show for amateur/home produced riders as well as the opportunity to bring in fresh developments to benefit the wider showing community.
Sarah said: “Grandstand Media has for many years provided the database for the TSR Show Entries and Memberships so it is a natural progression for them to take on a wider administrative role. It is a very exciting time that will bring many positive developments to showing. I look forward to working with the new team and I would like to thank everyone who has supported TSR over the past 10 years to help make it the success it is today.”
Grandstand Media’s Jane Warmington said: “We are delighted to play a fundamental role in the future of The Showing Register (TSR). Our team is passionate about supporting amateur riders in showing, and it is a privilege to be taking over the management of TSR building on the support that we have provided to the TSR members since its inception. Bringing TSR onboard allows us to concentrate on our objectives of increasing opportunities for amateurs in the upcoming season, and we look forward to welcome more of the TSR members to HOYS in 2023.”
At Showing World, we are excited to see what new initiatives Grandstand Media will be announcing for amateurs in the coming months.
