My first shout out goes to the hard working committee for your very kind invitation to judge at what turned out to be a tremendous show with great entries, thank you. Secondly to the competitors. What a plethora of lovely girls you brought before me. I really was spoilt for choice with some lovely girls going unplaced, so thank you and for your good sportsmanship. Thirdly my two wonderful stewards, Clare Boggia & Mia Chappell who kept everything running so smoothly and even provided me with some tasty lunch! ….. thank you ladies. Lastly and by no means least, my co-judge of dogs, Lynn Yacoby Wright who also made the final judging relatively painless .
