Dear New Member, Welcome to the SCBA! As Marshal of the S.C. Peach Festival on July 17th & 18th in Gaffney, SC. we want to accommodate as many novice judges as possible. Unfortunately, this year due to space restraints we can only seat 21 novice judges. We realize everyone is anxious to start on the journey to become a Certified Judge so we are asking those who can make a firm commitment to sign-up at the Judges Seminar on July 11th in Columbia. We hope this letter will allow you enough time to make your decision and plans to join us at the Peach Festival. Those of you planning to come to the Peach Festival will be given a sheet to sign at the seminar. Priority will be given to those who can join us on Friday afternoon, about 3 or 4PM, to help with the wing judging and any other task as needed. The Friday Wing Ding is always a lot of fun and a good way to meet everyone and see what it takes to put on a barbeque cook-off. We usually meet at a local restaurant for dinner and you are certainly encouraged to join us. Most of the motels in Gaffney give discounts if you tell them you are a Peach Festival Judge when you make your reservations. In order to be fair, if there are over 21 applicants for the Peach Festival Novice Judging, the novice judges attending both days will be given first choice. Any other slots will be determined by a draw. The draw will take place at the seminar so you will know then if you need to finalize your plans. We apologize for having to limit the number of novices at the Peach Festival, but due to circumstances beyond our control it is necessary to insure the standards of our novice process.
Thank you for your understanding:
Michael & Teena Bohm SCBA Marshal SC Peach Festival
I can be there on the 17th to help with the Wing Ding. Then, I would like to do my first novice judging on the 18th, please. My husband, Tim Garrett, didn't get to sign up as a judge for the 18th but he's planning to come and volunteer to help out as needed. Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday in Columbia. Thanks, Deb Garrett
