Cambourne and Redruth Open Show

9th July 2022

Thank you very much to the Society for inviting me to judge the Working and Pastoral Groups, to the exhibitors for bringing their dogs under me, and to my steward for keeping me organised. I chose to go through due to the weather and also to stay outside where at least there was a breeze.
