Four overseas show judges

An Anglican clergyman from Australia will be one of four overseas judges at the Canterbury show this week.

The Rev. John Parish, of Alstonville, New - South Wales, will officiate in the donkey section.

Mr Parish and his wife own the Nestine Donkey Stud which has been the most prolific ribbon-winning stud in the north coast area of New South Wales during the last eight years. The stud has 12 donkeys with two more foals due before the end of this year. Mr Parish has judged donkeys at several shows and also at the 1982 New South Wales Championships. He has lectured on show preparation, presentation and judging at donkey seminars and appeared at the Australian College of Advanced Agricultural Science.

He is a keen supporter of shows, being a past secretary of the Alstonville Agricultural Show Society, on the committee of the Agricultural Societies Council of N.S.W., and a member of the Equestrial Federation of Australia sub-committee. He is also a senior showjumping steward in northern N.S.W.
