Congratulations also to the three other candidates who all passed the theory exam. Many thanks to all who helped on the day and especially to Rose Egan who took the role
of invigilator. Our sincere thanks also to Fiona and the members of the NVS
judges’ examination board for your support. We will hold the practical judge’s exam in
Moate, Co. Westmeath on Monday August 26th (Day after the Irish Championships). We will need to stage a mini show for
the candidates to judge and will require
a good supply of quality vegetables. We are therefore asking our Irish
members to support us by donating some vegetables. To register your interest in taking the exam or to offer your help
on the day of the practical exam please contact Raymond Higgins (Contact Details on Page 3).
