General Comments
Nice to judge at the Real London, Thanks to Jenny for the invite. Good to judge alongside Stephan, we seemed to agree on all the mice! the day was melting hot and a few of the mice were showing it in condition. most were okay though. Congratulations to Lewis Russell , B.I.S with the best Argente i have seen in a long time. Many thanks to Rob Walker for an excellent job as steward. thanks to Jenny for showing me how this show should be run!

General Comments
Thanks Jenny for the invite to judge and thanks to my steward Jim, who kept the mice coming. Some good mice on show and despite the weather, only a few cases of moult. Mice mostly fit and in good shape. Great to judge with Peter, with immediate agreement on a lovely Argente, entered by Lewis Russell. Focusing properly on a variety pays off!
