Dear 4-H
Judges and Interested Participants,
We will be
holding our New England Judge’s School in April 2009.
Noting the geographical challenge of New England we will plan
to hold school
in what is a more convenient location, Central
Massachusetts.
The dates
for school will be Saturday and Sunday, April 18th
and 19th, 2009. The New England weather should be
at a lesser chance for snow then.
The Days
Inn Gateway Conference and Banquet Center of Chicopee, MA
will be our hosting facility. There is a block of rooms set
aside for us at a reduced rate. When you call to make
reservations please tell them you are with the 4-H Volunteer
Training. Their contact number is 413-739-7311. The block of
rooms will be reserved until Feb. 18, 2009.
Our live
judging will be on Sunday am at the UMASS Hadley Horse Farm.
We should be finished by noon for you to travel.
Registration will be Saturday morning from 9 to 10, at the
hotel. Our rulebook update and workshops will start at 10.
Lunch will be included with your registration fee. A
complete schedule and directions will be sent after we
receive your registration. Please note that if you were
carded in 2005 or before and have not attended any other
judge’s school you must attend this one and renew your
application to remain on our list.
If you are
renewing your application and have attended either the
Pennsylvania or Multistate Judge’s School in 2007 or 2008 we
accept that attendance. You must show proof of attendance
for either of them.
Enclosed or
attached you will find all forms needed to register for
school and apply for your New England Judge’s Card or your
renewal.
Thank you
for your interest in our program and youth,
Sherri Thornton, Committee Chair
