Judges play a vital role in all competitions (both competitive and recreational) and without them the events simply couldn’t run. All our judges are volunteers who devote a lot of their own time and money into gaining and maintaining their qualifications.

As a community, we are very lucky to have so many new and devoted judges striving for such excellence and we would like to say a big congratulations to the following judges who have either just started their judging career, revalidated existing qualifications or stepped up to the next level.
