Judge: R Chappell Selfs & Tans
GENERAL COMMENTS
I was very pleased when Richard asked me to judge the 125 show. The Self section was very strong, some really good mice in it; the self Black classes had quality all the way through, only very small points separated them. It was in the adult class that I found my Best Self, a real quality mouse from Stephan, just beating a very nice Cream of Richard’s. In the Tan section the Blacks and Chocolates of Phil’s were way in front of he others, all quality mice again, only small points separating them.
BIS was a lovely Fawn Satin of Ruth’s, a quality exhibit, and BOA one of Phil’s Black Tans, congratulations to you both. Thank you to Jim for stewarding and a pleasure to judge with John.

GENERAL COMMENTS
What a great show and venue, thank you Richard for the invite to judge. Everything went very smoothly. Richard and his team did a sterling job, thanks to Stella for good food and a splendid lunch all day. Pleasure to judge with Bob, we had no problem deciding the top awards. Ruth’s Fawn Satin doe was in my opinion faultless, probably the best mouse I have ever handled, well done Ruth. Other mice in my sections of mention, Kelly’s Silver Agouti Hereford, super markings and colour, also the young Agouti doe of Mick’s, this mouse sparkled with rich colour. I would also like to thank my stewards, Phil in the morning and Ruth in the afternoon. Well done everybody. Let’s make this show a regular feature.
