Schools
The "Advanced" Judging school came off on schedule on March 1. The class is a pre-requisite for new National judge candidates,
Eleven Regional judges, all from Chapter 36, gathered at Sunrise to learn the ins and outs of National judging standards. The class was taught by Brian Howard, chairman of the IAC rules committee and Editor of the annual Rule Book publication.

Success
3/27: Three of the Advanced school attendees have now met the requirements and passed all exams to become National Judges: Jon Nash, Bill Hill and Michael Church. Steve Andelin and Hal Raish served as their National Examiners.
The three plan to return the favor by offering to examine other students for their own National exams.

Training Camps
April: The annually scheduled April Training Camp is set: six students, two instructors. Attending will be Endo Hiroyasu, Ron Rapp, Klaus Friedrich, Kirby Dotson, Thomas Herrele and Conrad Nordquist. Coaches will be Ty Frisby and Michael Church.
May: The response to the schedule announcement was so strong we have scheduled a second camp for May. The dates will be May 28-29, and there will be three instructors: Jon Nash, Ty Frisby and Michael Church.
