WA Judging Clinic

Mandy Mc Master is hoping to run a Women's Artistic 'Judging Clinic' this September.

This would consist of a watered down version of the club judging course in an attempt to try to drum up some interest prior to the next full judging course which we hope to run late Feb 2009 or early March 2009

The course will be held at Salto and there will be a fee of £20 per person.

This is also a really good opportunity to help coaches attain a better understanding of the requirements of routines for competitions, particularly with the new competition season about to begin.

If anyone in your club is interested in this please email Mandy: japs11@btinternet.com
