Open Show

17 June 2018

My thanks to the officers and committee for their invitation and warm hospitality also to my steward for his invaluable assistance and to all the exhibitors who entered and made for such an enjoyable day. I was delighted with the final line up for the gundog group, including the puppies, with final decisions made particularly on strong and driving movement.
