Information about judges and judging


Judges Liaison Officer

Karen Winsett is the Judges Liaison Officer. It's best to contact her if you want to book judges for your tournaments. Her phone number is 01924 264125. Her email address is karen.winsett at salvationarmy.org.uk.

If you book a judge directly, please let Karen know by sending her the tear-off slip from the Judges Confirmation and Expense Form. This is important, as it helps to prevent double bookings.


Judges Confirmation and Expense Form

The Judges Confirmation and Expense Form was designed following comments made by a number of judges, who have had to approach tournament organisers to seek re-imbursement for their various expenses, almost feeling that they have had to negotiate the matter or value of their expenses for the day. They have also not been sure of the arrangements being provided (or not provided) by the club for the judge's lunch.
The approach we're recommending is for the tournament organiser or club secretary to send the form to the judge well in advance of the event, and for the judge to return the confirmation of their attendance and expected expenses, such that these matters can be settled well before the day.
If you are responsible for organising such a tournament, or are the secretary of a club that runs such a tournament, we request that you use this form.
To prevent double booking of Judges, the Judges Confirmation and Expense Form includes a tear off slip to send to Karen Winsett, the Judges Liaison Officer, when the booking has been confirmed. The form can be downloaded as a Word document:

Many thanks for your anticipated support.

Archery judging in Yorkshire


Judging is crucial to archery tournaments. Without judges and other officials, archery events could not take place.

This page will develop into a set of resources for judges, field captains, people interested in becoming judges or field captains, and people looking for officials for their events.

In the meantime, please contact the county secretary for any information you require.
