Orchid Judging
Yesterday in Toronto the regional AOS Judging Center had they're semi-annual business meeting. Basically for general housekeeping and personel reviews. My friend Jeanne was promoted from a Probabtionary AOS Judge to fully Acredited. She was thrilled. The most exciting part of the day for me was that they voted to accept me as a Student Judge. Which begins a long 3 years of schooling to become Probationary. I was really excited. I just hope I can keep up with the work load!  But it was a great day for me!  |

Congratulations Paul! As someone who has just started the 3 year process to become a judge over on this side of the pond... I completely understand the mixture of excitement and trepidation that you must be feeling.
Best of luck! And maybe we can 'compare notes' along the way!  |

Congratulations Paul and Shannen! I would like to hear updates about your journeys as I have been interested in becoming an AOS Judge down the road, perhaps when I get more experience under me.

Thanks everyone!
Becca, one of the first things that I learnt last weekend was to be organised, take lots of notes (so that you always have your reasons to hand!), and prepare as much as you can before hand. My motivation to become a judge was to learn a lot more about the plants to be able to grow my own plants better!
