Many thanks for the Committee for my invitation to Judge BIS and to my stewards on the day Robbie and her Trainee Steward doing a brilliant job. Also to Steve for stewarding for stakes and BIS, BPIS so we could press on due to the cold weather and much appreciated by Exhibitors too. Not forgetting the superb catering ladies on excellent refreshments.
