SATURDAY 8TH AUGUST 2026 

Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge at the show, it was a very well run and enjoyable day. The weather was certainly on our side and the shade in the ring was appreciated. Thank you to my steward Donald Young who did a fantastic job of ensuring my judging ran smoothly and efficiently by running between the indoor and outdoor rings to keep exhibitors up to date. Thank you to the exhibitors who entered under me, it was a shame there was a few absentees on the day but this cannot be helped.
