Our judges are volunteers who devote a lot of their own time and money into gaining and maintaining their qualifications. They then give up a lot of weekends during competition season so that our athletes can compete. A lot will take annual leave from their day jobs, to judge at the National Championships and some will also judge overseas so that our athletes can compete internationally. Â That is all a lot of time away from their family and friends each year.
As a community, we are very lucky to have so many devoted judges, and striving for such excellence.  A big congratulations to the following South Island judges on your new cycle qualifications, and a big thank you in advance for all the time you will be spending this year on the floor.
