Judges for the Concours

It is never too early to begin recruiting judges for the Concours d’Elegance to take place during the Sturbridge convention. We will be needing judges and back-up judges. Since we don't know how many vehicles may enter the Concours, we need to have some extra judges just in case. Volunteers are needed.

The Concours judges just judge for condition and cleanliness... they do not judge for originality or any other standard. If you haven't done this it is a great experience. You can do it even if your have a car in the Concours, you just won’t be judging your own vehicle or those in your vehicle’s class.

What happens is that in late December I must send a list of names of potential judges to Don Wagner who coordinates the judges. Don then mails a form to these folks. This form asks them what areas they might want to judge (interior, wheels, trim, undercarriage, etc.). You just fill out the form and send it back to Don. Don then sends a return letter to you.

At the Convention, there will be a Judge's Meeting where the details will be provided. If you are a novice, you'll be paired with a "veteran" judge. You may or may not be called upon to judge... depends upon the number of vehicles.

If you are interested, please send your name, address, phone number, email address to me and I'll compile the list for Don. You can respond by mail or email, your choice. Thank you!
