The HWPA

The HWPA was founded in 1927 and reconstituted in 1967 with the aim of improving working conditions for all media professionals on Britain's racecourses. It provides a link for all other professional bodies within the sport who wish to enlist the assistance of the media in promoting aspects of their work and in improving the smooth running of major meetings.

The HWPA currently works closely with the Racecourse Association, the joint committee being responsible for such matters as the issue of annual metal badges, the improvements in press facilities and the lay-out and equipping of press rooms.
