GENERAL COMMENTS
Thanks to Kelly for the invite, stewards Mark and Simon, Drew for treating me royally, and Luke and Nichola for running an excellent kitchen. Thanks also to all exhibitors.
Standards were high and some very good mice didn’t place. Congratulations to all winners. It was hard to compare the winning line-up, all 5 were top notch. In the end I pondered which mouse was the closest to achieving being the best it possibly could be for that variety. The Broken was that mouse, such a good animal. Well done to Stephen Maynard for winning not only a very strong Marked section, but Best in Show.
