English St Bernard Club

Many thanks to the Secretary and Committee for the kind invite to judge their Memorial Stakes at this lovely ‘garden party’ venue. The hospitality was second to none and the Ploughmans Lunches were a work of art! Thank you for such a lovely day and a warm welcome from everyone, we had the added bonus of gorgeous weather to complete the day.
