I was delighted to be asked when replacing Mr Peter Pask who was unwell to judge at one of my
favourite shows. I found the show well run by all the committee and many of the young
enthusiastic workers, who will take the show from strength to strength.
Thank you to the exhibitors who took my placings in good grace. I was pleased with all my
winners although as when I last judged ccs 2 years ago there is a variety of types and some
lacking in muscle tone and presentation.
