Judges Seminars As part of the Ploughing Academy, the Society of Ploughmen are organising judges seminars to help judges to work on the same level across the country. This will make the standard of judging less varied in the level of points awarded for different aspects. Hopefully, judges will work together and learn from each others' experiences, making the quality of judging throughout the country better overall. The Society of Ploughmen holds a list of judges who are nominated by affiliated societies throughout Great Britain. This list is available to all affiliated societies on request when choosing judges for their own match. The first seminar took place in February 2003 at Doncaster, South Yorkshire, by kind permission of David Chappell. Since then many more seminars have been held throughout the country with hundreds of judges from throughout the Great Britain attending. Different styles of ploughing plots are completed by some of the country's top ploughmen and judged by the expert group leaders, and then in turn by all the attendees. All who attended the seminars have said how helpful this was and they have learnt much from it. Further judges seminars will be organised in future and all SOP members and societies will be notified.
