From 2016 in alternate years there will be a Conference followed the next year by a Judges Assessment, eg Assessment 2017, Conference 2018. Therefore Judges will be required to attend a Conference every four years instead of three to remain on the panel. They are held at a wide variety of venues throughout the country. These informative days are usually based around a practical element followed by speakers on specific subjects. Conference days are open to both Judges and members who wish to attend. The next NPS Judges Conference will take place at Moreton Morrell College on the 16^th September 2018. More details to follow.
