Judge Dean Cordwell

A great deal of thanks must go to the committee for inviting me to such a wonderfully run show. The ring steward was fantastic and was very attentive.. It was a lovely day and the weather was very kind. Unfortunately the ring was not favourable for some exhibitors and this showed in their movement.
