National Gloster Club - NGC

"Making The Best Better"

Panel Judges

The NGC Panel of Judges members are long time Gloster Fanciers who have successfully bred and exhibited Gloster Canaries and have proven themselves knowledgeable in the selection of winning Glosters in accordance with the Gloster Standard of Excellence. The Club has guidelines for one to become a Panel Judge. Anyone interested in joining the panel should fill out this form to start the process and speak to one of the NGC Panel judges at any show.

As an NGC judge, you are an essential part of the fancy and carry enormous responsibilities. Without your dedication and expertise, bird shows simply cannot function properly. The National Gloster Club has a significant vested interest in its judges as you represent the NGC during your judging assign-ment.

Breed Knowledge: Through experience and ongoing study, you must demonstrate sound knowledge of the GLOSTER standard. As the standard is revised, it is your responsibility to know and to judge by the current standard. Good judges continue to study even the breeds for which they are already approved.

These rules cannot cover all situations, nor can they substitute for common sense. Whenever you have a question about judging procedures or conduct, consult any NGC Panel Judge present at the show.
