I would like to start by apologising for the delay in submitting critiques. Due to recent ill health issues, certain things have had to be put on a back burner.

Thank you to the committee for the invitation, and to the exhibitors for your entry. Temperament as always was superb. From the entry today, I cannot see any faults creeping in.
