Judge's Assessments

20/1/2023

Last year N&EMPF conducted a survey of clubs to find out what you wanted the Federation to prioritise and invited club reps to make suggestions for improvements in the service.

Unsurprisingly, one of the most common requests was for a good supply of high quality judges. The need for higher calibre judges is understandable and your Federation has spent the last year developing a number of initiatives to meet that requirement.

In particular we have:

Run a New Judge Induction Day and recruited and trained 5 new judges.
Run a Judges Conference to consult with judges on proposed judging developments and listen to their views. This included a talk on Judging Nature Images by Bill Hall DPAGB EFIAP FBPE.
Developed a personal development pathway to help judges strengthen their individual skills and enhance their enjoyment of their role.
Developed new communication channels for our judge community with an information Newsletter and a private Facebook group to follow soon.
Updated the N&EMPF website to reflect these changes.

We are now about to embark on this new personal development scheme for judges and we need your help.

N&EMPF Inter-Club PDI Championship 2023

18/1/2023

After two years of CFH (Competing from Home) we now feel that we able to compete in person, we hope that you agree with this decision and look forward to seeing you all again.

The purpose of the competition is two fold – to find the Champion N&EMPF Club, and the two clubs to represent the federation in the PAGB National PDI Championships at Warwick University on 15th July.

The competition will be held at Arnold Leisure Centre, on Sunday 5th March, starting at 1.45pm and there will be an admission charge of £3 to cover expenses.

The AGM is at the same venue in the morning and admission to that is, of course, free.
