General Comments
Thanks to Stephan for the invite,Lewis and Justine for stewarding Ophelie for running the kitchen and of course all those who entered.Judging alongside John was enjoyable and the new venue was nicely refurbished with good big windows.Mixed bag of stock with some good mice held back by minor faults,nicks in ears,moult on bellies,small ears.The winners reflected the breeders pride in their animals.Well done to to all of you.
