Thank you to the Society, my steward and the exhibitors for a quality entry. As always before the show some had been busy predicting the winners, I don’t know whether they were right or not, but I came home with a clear conscience. At the end of the day you can only judge what is in front of you and on occasions you are disappointed as ones you like just don’t perform on the day.

The ring conditions were not ideal – smelly, the grass was too long and again we had a ring with an upward incline going away from the judge.
