General Comments
What a great show. Weather was a little wet on and off but for the most part it was very pleasant. It was great to judge alongside [log in to see names] again, luckily he had brought everything a judge could need so I was able to borrow nearly everything he had (I came not so prepared this time). We came to our final decisions without too much hesitation. Big congratulations to all the winners, especially [log in to see names] who won best in show with a lovely satin. Thank you [log in to see names] for also stewarding for me, it makes it so much easier for the judges when you have a good steward. A special thanks to [log in to see names] for taking on this show and for the very efficient new system that I am trying out as I type (fingers crossed I don’t break it)
