Many thanks to the committee for my invitation to judge at your 40th Anniversary Championship show. Such an honour and a privilege for my first appointment at this level and at a Breed club show. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with a great atmosphere. Was so well looked after, hospitality out of this world. A massive, big thank you to all the exhibitors for bringing their lovely girls under me. Not just quantity but in quality too and sadly some girls I liked either further down the line or went cardless. Also, special thanks go to my 2 lovely stewards Julie and Stephanie keeping the ring moving efficiently.
