One of the highlights for COM-UK was that Ian Wright from Stockton on Tees, took his judges test at the show in Section E (Posture Canary) and passed making our strength now as 11 judges on COM-OMJ Judges Panel. Ian specialises in Glosters and Crests and is a member of the IBGA and is a panel judge since 2001. He shows in partnership with his father Robert who in turn was in partnership with his father Les previously and used to show at the old National of Cage & Aviary Birds. Ian has bred Fifes since the age of 12 years and won best novice canary at 1993 National with a Buff Green Fife Fancy hen.
Ian commented that the test day was long but quite challenging and was glad that he took the test and passed. It tested his knowledge and he had to prepare a lot for it by reading the standards and rules of COM/OMJ and going to different COM shows in Europe to learn the standard and method of judging by the points system for the 24 different types of canaries that one needs to identify. Ian had to travel to many places both home and in Europe to identify the various varieties and learn about them ready for the test. Ian commented that studying for his preparation for the test made him think more about other breeds and he feel that he is more generally informed now. He encourages more British judges to consider becoming COM-OMJ judges by taking the test.
