    Volunteer awards were also based on nominations made by readers of British Dressage magazine and are made on the basis of the contribution these individuals make to the dressage scene through their hard — Chris Hurst, Sally Merrison, Barbara Angel, Jeanne Hooper, Mike West, Phyllis Beattie, Shona MacKenzie, Lorraine Grant, David Ferguson, Tristan Lock-Williams, Geoff & Carrol Simpson, Malcolm Brown, Eleanor Collins, Gloria Harrison, Diane Miller, Ros Smith, Gill Gallagher, Cathy Wright, Andrew Tait, Patricia Kinsey, Carol Green and Jane Hoskins. Young volunteer awards were presented to Rebecca Thomas and Mary Liversidge.
