We were a little surprised by the team uptake in 2013 and although we have a large judges following we are always looking to add to the number. We provide the judges training at cost which works out at £20, You do not need to pay membership, if you want to take a refresher each year that would be great but the price will remain the same. We are looking for people with a genuine interest in judging, a love of food and no allergies! If this is you please email judge@ibqn.com
Something a little different for those PitMasters that take the season seriously. We are giving upto 6 teams the opportunity to run a full cook to be judged by experienced and new judges as part of our Judges training on the 26th April. PitMasters will get summary feedback from the judges and although this is not a competition scores will be tallied and handed out at the end. Team will be required to hand in two boxes per category.
The best way to get consistent judges is to give them a wider experience. No other sanctioning body takes judges training to this level. By raising the bar we will be able to help PitMasters achieve the highest level of consistency and continue to do great things in all competitions as we have seen over the last few years.
IBQN are currently sanctioning 4 events in 2014 on the 3rd & 4th May, 24th & 25th May, 5th & 6th July, 9th & 10th August. Although there are more in the pipeline we wouldnt want people to go to the expense of becoming a judge and not actually having a space for them to judge a competition!! Therefore we are limiting the number of new judges to 24 for 2014 which will be on a first come first served basis.
Class will take place in Tongham, Surrey, GU10 1BP
