Show organisers are reminded that any judge, course designer, or technical delegate must meet the criteria as set out in rule 5.5 before they can officiate at any riding club activity whether at club or inter-club level.

Judges (dressage or show jumping) or course designers (show jumping) who are not already listed with Dressage Ireland or Show Jumping Ireland must be registered with AIRC for inclusion on the AIRC Show Officials list.

Rule 5.5 sets out the criteria for club and inter-club (or regional) activities and this is not a new rule but show organisers are being advised that this will be closely monitored to ensure clubs and regions are complying with this requirement.

The application form has been updated and the criteria has been amended so that applications are now directly sent to National Office for consideration.
