Judge: S Mönninghoff Selfs, Satins

GENERAL COMMENTS

Thanks for the invite to judge. Some good mice on show, well done Ruth on BIS with an outstanding Cinnamon and John Webster BOA with a fantastic Black. I enjoyed judging with Sarah, we agreed on all the winners in the Grand Challenge. Also big thanks to my steward Jim Mullan for a job well done. I would have liked to see a stronger Satin section – there was not much to choose from.

GENERAL COMMENTS

Thanks to Stuart for the invite and Robert Walker for stewarding. A very happy day spent amongst fanciers. Quality of exhibits varied a lot. Condition figured high on decisions making. Stephan and I had no quibbles selecting the winners. Congratulations to Ruth for Best in Show with a well-presented Cinnamon buck. He vibrated with condition. I liked John Webster’s young Black which was awarded Best Opposite Age in Show. Well done to all the winners. Thanks to everyone who came and supported the show with exhibits, and as ever Ginny for kitchen duties.
