Premier Open Show

26th September 2021

Judge – Mrs Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)

I would like to thank the committee for their kind invitation to judge at this lovely premier show. After what must have been a lot of hard work by the committee, it is such a shame that it clashed with ‘National Championship Show’. It was great to have such big rings and the weather was kind to us. Thank you to the exhibitors It was an honour to judge your lovely dogs. I must also thank my very able stewards, without whom the show could not go on.
