Since I took over from Pam Marston-Pollock there have been 50 group mentoring sessions. Only 26 people have taken the opportunity to do one-to-one mentoring and of those, 10 have now completed their third session. Two people have completed their observations and eight are waiting to do so but have the classes or appointments in hand.
There are prospective judges who have done their BAD/MCE and a group mentoring session but have failed to follow up on further mentoring. If you are one of these or you know someone who is please can they get in touch with me. If you have found that judging isn’t the way forward for you I would rather know so that my list of prospective judges can be as accurate as possible.
Please remember that The Kennel Club are available to answer any questions, not just about JEP, on the KC Roadshow and will have copies of the A5 JEP booklet which you can collect. As I am the BEC for the whole breed and not just BC I sent a letter to WCNI about holding a BAD/MCE in 2024, in response, they have now requested to do another online presentation. We will try and accommodate sometime in the summer between NEWS (Spring) and EAWC/MWC (Nov)
I must thank all the mentors and breed speakers for their time and enthusiasm to ensure that the breed continues to move forward with the times. If any of the mentors would like to let me know which shows they would be attending it would be much appreciated.
