Philatelists who qualify as judges are required to attend a training course followed up with practical training at one or more UK national exhibitions. This initially leads to accreditation to judge exhibits up to Federation level. Interested collectors should contact exhibiting@abps.org.uk giving a brief outline of their experience of exhibiting and philatelic knowledge.
If you are a society requiring the services of a judge, please contact exhibiting@abps.org.uk giving an outline of the nature of the competition and general information about your society.
