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 also a souvenir glass for wine & beer stewards 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 2008 National Show to be held at Weston-super-Mare. 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.

| GENERAL STEWARDS |
Every year the Executive Committee relies on the help
of willing volunteers to act as General Stewards during the Show Weekend. This includes benching
wines and beers, acting as scribes and many other general tasks.
If you feel able to offer your services please
Contact Richard Edge indicating when you would be available.
The Gerry Sparrow Trophy will be awarded to the General Steward who gains most points in the Show
with their wines/beers, and has completed at least 4 hours of general stewarding.
At the Show please register at the CHIEF STEWARDS TABLE on arrival
and at the times you have indicated.
