Judging Training
Practice judging is usually possible for classes held in the indoor arena. For sessions sitting in with experienced judges, the indoor arena judge box is quite capable of holding three persons but the outdoor arena box definitely isn't. We always need writers and would be more than pleased to accept any offers from trainee judges.
Please contact the organiser for further information.
