I found it a privilege to judge at the Border Union 50th Anniversary Show. Thank you to the exhibitors for their entry and thank you also to my able stewards for the day Pauline and Ian Sidgwick.

 

I had some very pleasing exhibits to go over today, however I did find a marked variation in size in some of the classes.
