Newmarket Racecourses Shortlisted for an RSVP Award
NEWMARKET Racecourses have been shortlisted for an RSVP award in the ‘Most creative use of a sporting venue’ category for its themed Christmas Parties and the annual Art, Craft and Design show that were held at the NatWest Rowley Mile in November and December in 2006.
Two other venues have been shortlisted for the award which was open to any type of sporting venue in which an in-house events team or an external agency has used the venue's facilities and space to stage two separate creative events.
The judges were looking for innovation, logistical planning, venue support and client endorsement. The results will be announced on Friday 29th June at an awards ceremony to be held at Fulham Palace, London.
RSVP is the magazine for the creative events industry. Since 2002, it has organised the RSVP exhibition which has established itself as the annual forum for the UK's key event buyers and suppliers and 2007 marks the inaugural year of their awards.
Managing Director of Newmarket Racecourses, Lisa Hancock, said: “We are very pleased to have been shortlisted for the RSVP awards as they recognise the hard work of all involved.
“Both the Art, Craft and Design Show and the themed Christmas Parties are very popular non-racing events that we stage at the racecourse and we will continue to work hard to further the concepts and, with respect to the Christmas Parties, make them the most exciting event of their kind in East Anglia.”
