Conference 1988

NEW CATEGORIES OF MEMBERSHIP

Specialist Membership - introduced to encourage members who specialise in any category of birds, mammals, fish/reptile/amphibia, freeze-dry and game head.  Six credits in the stated category are required in order to gain this certificate.

Advanced Category - introduced for those who have obtained Professional Membership and are of a higher standard than a credit.  Three higher credits in each of bird, mammal and fish/reptile are required to gain this certificate.

Higher Category Credits - three specimens in each category (to be decided) require a credit at this standard.  Three judges chosen on the day have to each pass the specimen in the top 10% to 15% of a standard credit.  The approval of all delegates attending the conference or seminar are then required before the specimen can be awarded the Higher Category Credit.
