Wade Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I am on a KCBS Judging course the week in Lynchburg Tennessee (a surprise birthday present) - but as I am enrolled on this one too I may still go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Now that's some present, wonderful, have a great trip, think I will look more into doing this next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It was a great experience, especially as it was combined with the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational. A lovely weekend despite the wet start to the Saturday morning. There are 44 currently registered KCBS judges in the UK (45 now including me). I am currently working on a Judges directory to add to the Forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Monkey Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 It’s been a very interesting weekend, learning how to judge the Teams turn in’s, and I was actually one of the lucky new judges to be chosen to judge today.

Icefever Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 How does it work during the year?? do they ask you if you can judge at a competition??. The other question, is there no UK version for training as a judge & judging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 No, as a judge you have to contact the organisers and put your name forward to judge in their competition. In the UK and mainland Europe they usually have a shortage of judges and so you are highly likely to be accepted, however in the US there are a lot of judges and for some it can prove to be difficult to be accepted. For the KCBS events you can go here to find out which competitions are taking place. Select your year and country and the list will pop up along with the organisers contact details. The only one currently showing for the UK in 2019 is Grillstock in June - but others will begin to get posted up soon. https://www.kcbs.us/events/2019/0/25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) We have a wedding on the horizon in June 19, but it's taking place in Italy, not too sure of the dates at the moment. This is why we changed the dates for the Midland T-Gate so has not to crash with the wedding. This year Grill Stock was cancelled I believe, not sure why.

Icefever Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 @Smokin Monkey When I booked there was no mention of a course at Burton on Trent ?? which would have been better, wonder if they will add at a later day?? Ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 There was a course at QFest (Devon) in June this year too. I don't know if they will be repeating it next year too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It's closer for me at Burton but if there's not to be one, then we go south Ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Not seen Brew & Q advertised yet. I think Smoke On The Waters is the event to be at next year. With it being a Closed Event (no public) it’s virtually invite only! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
