fresh blood and new ideas in our organisation. All you need is a proposer and a seconder,
both of whom must be current members, and be put up for election at the AGM which is always
held at the National Show. If you think you could spare the time, and wish to be of service

The Members of the Executive
Committee alone could not stage the Annual National Show. They are dependent upon the
commitment of the members to volunteer to help maintain the smooth running of the Show,
either as General Stewards or as Wine/Beer Stewards.
It can be very satisfying and beneficial work (even if sometimes it seems to be laborious
and hard on the feet). It can give anyone an insight into the different aspects concerned
with putting on a show. If anyone wishes to study different wines, and improve their own,
there is no better way than to volunteer your services as a steward for of the Judges
(who are likely to be most helpful and informative).
There is an unmarked ISO Wine glass for the wine & beer stewards who
complete the Steward application form below or advise of their
availability by MARCH 2nd, and a Trophy for the
General Steward with the most points in the Show.

| WINE AND BEER STEWARDS |
Wine and Beermakers are invited to
steward for NGWBJ Judges at 2013 National Show to be held at the Mercure Hotel, Hull. This is an excellent opportunity to study
your hobby at close range. It is an essential aspect of training for those
aspiring to be Federation or National Judges, and for those who wish to improve their own Wine and Beers.

please Contact Rowland Robson indicating when you would be available.
The Gerry Sparrow Trophy will be awarded to the General Steward who gains most points in the Show
