South & South East in Bloom is a “growing concern” and is looking to recruit experienced and knowledgeable judges and community assessors for our annual competitions. Judges & assessors will judge Villages, Towns & Cities and community groups across the six counties of our regions, interested?

In the first instance please send an email to Peter Holman – Chairman South & South East in Bloom, peter@sseib.com briefly describing your background and why you would like to become a judge. You will then be invited to a training day (compulsory) following which you will be assigned to a senior judge/mentor and be allocated a number of entries in the judging year. After a successful probationary year, new judges will be invited to judge/assess for a further 4 years. Good time keeping, able to walk reasonable distances (some entries are walked and no transport is involved), be able to judges anywhere in Kent, Surrey, East & West Sussex, Hampshire, East & North Dorset and East Wiltshire. Judges must be able to get to an entry at the time agreed. Judges are voluntary and only receive out of pocket expenses.
