Maria Pollard

Judges Representative

Home: North Tipperary, Ireland

I am a fully qualified IBTA Judge in all areas. I have been IBTA Judge's Representative for the last 7 years.

I have been Judging for over 20 years now and have gained vast experience at all levels both within the IBTA and for other organisations. I thoroughly enjoy judging and I hope that my tapes and scoresheets help individuals and team to progress within their organisations.

I still attend seminars, open contests and other events for continuous knowledge and experience for my judging. I am available for guest judging and judging exams.

I qualified to Judge with the IBTA in 1996 and have since taken further examinations to broaden my scope and knowledge of Baton Twirling.

I started teaching 15 years ago and am fully qualified with both the IBTA and the BBTSA.

I am always keen to listen to advice and the experience of other judges and teachers as I feel we can all learn from each others’ expertise.

I am very open-minded regarding the sport of Baton Twirling and am happy to teach & be taught at seminars, within a Corps and to Judges at Open competitions.

Helen McLauchlan

Home: Yateley, Hampshire

As a natural progression from twirling and teaching I began judging within
the IBTA in 1986. This was prior to the judging examinations, so we started in those days by judging everything! Since this time, however, I have taken judging exams in all IBTA events, including M&M, Guard and Inspection, and have been fully qualified since 2003.

I love judging, and hope that my scoresheets and comments are useful to individuals, teams and corps, and assist in their individual progression as well as the progression of the IBTA as a whole.

I continue to try to improve my judging by attending seminars and spectating at other twirling events.
