Stewarding and Judging Training for the 2024 Season

Following a successful start last season, the DSV is planning to offer further Stewarding and Judging Training in the new year.

There is no need to have attended previous sessions, so if you are looking to expand your knowledge plan to come along for all of some of the following events.

Sun 14 Jan, 10am-noon – Stewarding and Judging refresher followed by lunch and informal discussions on showing and standards.

Sat 10 Feb – Mini-show at the Mt Waverley Hall – a chance to put things into practice, whether that’s showing, stewarding or judging, a real hands on day.

Thu 15 Feb – Mini-show at the monthly meeting – a chance again for showing, stewarding and judging practice.

Sat 24 Feb, 5pm – Debrief from the judges on results at the State Show.  An opportunity to hear directly what was good and perhaps not so good at the show.

Thu 21 Mar – Mini-show at the monthly meeting – a chance to  practice showing your dahlias.

Sun 7 April, 10am-noon– Judging by the standard. A focus on what makes the perfect show dahlia. Followed by a light lunch.
