WELKS Championship Show – 27th April 2024

By Mrs Aileen A. Welham

Stand-in judge for Mr Colin Wills, who had a very nice entry; it was such a shame that he was too ill to carry out the appointment.

As mentioned previously, it was a very nice entry with few absents. I did not find any health issue, but I did find a lot of coarse coats.
