Norfolk & Norwich Canine Society

Many thanks to the Secretary and committee of this friendly society for the warm welcome, it was an enjoyable albeit long day but was delighted to see my PWD go RBPIS and my more mature PWD receive RBVIS. Many, many thanks to my hard working, very efficient steward Heather who worked tirelessly all day, I enjoyed your company.
