Basic Judging Course

Bill Chambers will be conducting a 2 day Basic Judging Course at the Belmont 16s Club on 2nd and 9th February 2020.  Bill will be assisted by Roy Killen.

Note that it’s not designed as a “be all / end all”, or “know-everything-there-is-to-know” style of course.  Rather it is loosely based on the QLD Judging system whereby students complete this course, then are Mentored by qualified judges to complete their training.)
 
Even those who are not interested in actually becoming judges in the future will gain an insight into the judging process & can use what they learn to enhance their own images. 
 
The course will cost $40.  Belmont 16s Club members will receive a 50% discount ($20)  Payment is due by  10 January 2020
 

ALL PLACES HAVE NOW BEEN FILLED
