GENERAL COMMENTS

Always a pleasure to judge at Halifax. Some good mice on show. BIS Jenny with an u8 Cream Satin, hard to fault, well done. I like the winning Blacks and Fawns. The heat played a big part in the mice’s condition today. Thanks to my steward Andrew for a job well done, nice to judge with John for the first time.

GENERAL COMMENTS

What a fantastic show, many thanks to Sarah for asking me to judge, and a pleasure to judge alongside Phil. Very hot day. Nice tent area with plenty of space. Thanks to Stephan, my steward.
Unanimous decision for Best in Show, an outstanding u8 Cream Satin doe—stunning mouse, well done Jenny. BOA in Show a top quality Black from Stephan. Best in my sections, quality Choc Dutch of Mick’s and a very nice Siamese from Jim.
Well done to all, it was very nice to see so many new members doing so well. Bodes well for the future of the NMC.
