Judge: R Chappell Selfs & Tans
GENERAL COMMENTS
It was a great pleasure to judge at ‘Bradford’ again, and see friends again.
Richard Greenwood was missed by all, and the mice in my sections were a bit mixed. Phil’s Tans stood out among the others, his adult buck a very worthy Best Tan and Best in Show. Sarah has a nice Black for Best Self. The Self Blacks were very even and could have easily changed places.
Thank you to Mick for asking me to judge and Jim for stewarding. A pleasure to judge with John again, and the memento given to us for judging was much appreciated. I look forward to seeing everyone again.

GENERAL COMMENTS
Nice to be at Bradford again. Many thanks to Mick for asking me to judge alongside Bob. No problem with challenges. A super Black Tan from Phil Hall BIS, and a lovely Ivory doe BA for Steve Goss. My section winners, a very good Broken from Sarah Cudbill, Satin as above, and my Best AOV a fantastic Blue Splashed from Mike David, best one I’ve seen fro some time. And many thanks to my steward Andy Leach, very well done for your debut, and Monty stepping in for a couple of classes.
