Paying Judges Update Notification Dec 2011

As you are aware the subject of paying judges has been talked about a lot this year and we are grateful for all the feedback you have provided on the topic. The Board, over the course of three meetings, have discussed and reviewed all the implications of introducing the payment of judges. The main issues have been around the levels/amounts that judges are to be paid and the timing of introduction. We can now confirm that the Board have agree the following policy;

From the 1 December 2012, judges will be paid the following amounts;

• Intro to Advanced - £1 per horse/per judge/per class
• PSG to GP - £2 per horse/per judge/per class

The above judging fee is to be paid in addition to the mileage expenses which organisers still have the responsibility of paying at 0.45p per mile. For those judges that do not wish to be paid and do not want to take the payment, there is still the option for them to remain judging as a volunteer.

We have allowed a long lead in period so that venues may reflect this cost in their entry fees if required.

The Q & A document should answer some of your immediate questions. If this does not answer your specific question please don’t hesitate to contact us in the office and we will be glad to help.

A quick note on the new hat rule:

I hope you have not encountered too many issues and we thank you for using your discretion throughout December following the introduction of the new rule. Now that it has started to bed in, from the 1st January 2012 can we ask that you begin to enforce the rule to its full capacity so that we don’t have any competitors completing tests without the correct headwear.
