GENERAL COMMENTS
I was very pleased that Ruth asked me to judge at Manchester again. It was good to meet up with old friends and get to know some of our newer members. It is good to see new members showing good stock.
The mice in my sections were good, several classes were very close, only minor faults separating the exhibits. A pleasure to judge with Stephan, hopefully the first of many times. Thank you to Andrew for stewarding, and congratulations to Jenny for BIS with a lovely u8 Cream, and Phil for Best Tan with a very nice u8 Chocolate.

GENERAL COMMENTS
Lovely to judge at Manchester, alongside Bob Chappell. Some great mice on the table in my sections and a respectable win for Jenny Kew with a beautiful u8 cream.
Some overweight candidates might have prevailed on the final table if they had been in better shape.
Big thanks to John Webster, who did an excellent job stewarding. Thanks also to Ruth for running the show. I had a great day!
