Blackpool Championship Show - 21 August 2021

Thank you to the Committee for their kind invitation to judge, to my ring stewards who organised the ring so efficiently and to the exhibitors for such a quality entry. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and thankfully the weather forecast wasn’t as bad as predicted and I was able to judge outside and didn’t need to use my waterproofs.
