<DIV>We held a Judges training class at my place today, had about 16 attendees from D5 &D6. Had a lot of fun, learned a lot about fair and accurate judging and spent the afternoon judging and critiquing each other. This is the way to learn. Only had one disagreement all day, and we should have known better than to mention proper snaps.<IMG src="http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201d20638/08"> Thanks to all who showed up and to Charlie Rock for teaching. </DIV>
