General Comments
A very enjoyable day with plenty of mice to keep Jim and myself occupied. The general standard of the exhibits was very good with one or two stand out mice, in particular the stunning Silver Satin which took BIS and the Hereford which was the best example of the variety I have seen in quite a while. My thanks to Eric and Terry for running a seamless show as ever and to Peter for keeping me refreshed with tea and a bacon butty, Special thanks to Chris Barber who stewarded for me with ruthless efficiency and to my co-judge Jim as we had no disagreements in choosing our overall winners on the day.
