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 along side John again, luckily he had brought everything a judge could need so I was able to borrow nearly everything he had (I come not so prepared this time). We come to our final decisions without too much hesitation. Big congratulations to all the winners especially Jenny who won best in show with a lovely satin. Thank you Jenny for also stewarding for me, it makes it so much easier for the judges when you have a good steward. A special thanks to Stephan 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 )
