2 day Open Show – 28th & 29th May 2025

Judge – Mrs Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)

I would like to thank the officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge at this well run show. A truly lovely show, set within the agricultural show. A huge thank you to all the exhibitors who braved the weekday traffic and dreary weather, with your super dogs, it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to judge them. The weather improved as the day went on, if a little blowy!
