Judge – Mrs Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)

I would like to thank the committee for their kind invitation to judge at what may now be one of the last shows for some time. As expected, there were a fair few absentees. We all appreciate the need to take care at this worrying time. A lovely well run show, and thank you to the hard working committee and stewards. Most of all to the exhibitors for the pleasure of your dogs.
