This is obviously a subject that is very dear to the hearts of a number of the active members.
So my question is what can we do as a club to help the judges do their job to the best of their ability?
First of all do we make them feel welcome at the club? I believe that we do, but let's not forget they may have travelled some distance to the club and they may require a little time to get prepared.
Is the atmosphere at the club as free of any tension as possible? For some judges this will be their first visit to OPS and whilst we have a great room does the room feel friendly
Is everything ready for the judge? Do not forget different judges have different approaches to the commentary and scoring. I would always invite the judge to have a run through of the prints on their own before they start the more formal judging and feedback.
OK, so we have done the best we can to give the judge the best conditions and we still feel that they did not provide the standard of feedback or scoring that we as a club expect the answer is that we do not invite them back to the club as a judge.
Finally, if a judge has missed a particular aspect of one or more of your images or Prints you do get a second chance with the summer exhibition.
