Cornwall Gundog Club

Many thanks to Joy and her committee for the lovely invite to judge in this beautiful area of the country, it didn’t bode well weather wise when we left in the morning to venture to the show but thankfully the sun made an appearance and it shone on the righteous all day! The hospitality was lovely and I extend my thanks to my 3 stewards for the day Pat, Laura and Sue who did a sterling and efficient job.
