Pointer

Many thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge at this welcoming and well run show. I had a very enjoyable day and your hospitality was excellent. Thank you to my stewards Brian Chessell and Nina Price for keeping everything in order.

The weather wasn’t kind to the exhibits today, most Pointers hate the rain and wind, and will shiver and huddle into themselves, I did consider all these factors in my decisions.

Thank you to all the exhibitors who entered and accepted my decisions.
