Nice to be asked to judge at my favourite venue. Thank you Mike. Thanks also to my steward for the day, Chris and to Sophie who worked hard with the results etc.
The quality of the exhibits in my sections varied . Some shouldn’t have really been there whilst others were of high quality. Congratulations to Simon with his winning Ivory and a very nice blue taking BOA. I also thought the Fox was particularly good .

What a lovely day, thank you for asking me to judge this show. It has been a while since I have shown or judged but I still have my eye in as I still have a full stud at home so judging happens every week here.
I was very well looked after by everyone who was running the show and the kitchen and the day went very smoothly.
It was good to judge alongside Terry sales again, we had no disagreements on the winners so the end of the show went very smoothly.
Thank you too Simon for being such an able steward and helping me get into my stride at the start of judging and very well done on your win! I hope to see you all at more shows soon
