Thank you to the Secretary and Committee for inviting me to judge, and for the two excellent stewards who kept me on track. And everyone involved with the organisation of this show, I know how much hard work and efforts, that are put into any show by you for them to happen. And thank you so much to all of you that entered and waited patiently for what was a memorable time for me. I found it very difficult with liking the breed so much for decades and wishing all to do well, creating a lot of thinking with many heart and head conflicts.
