Many thanks to the Committee of this Club for giving me the opportunity to award CC for the first time. I really enjoyed my day and delighted to find later that my BOB had gone on to take RBIS and winning one of those very impressive Welsh Dragons – a super memento of the occasion. Thank you to the exhibitors for my quality entry with no absentees. Places will change under other judges because many decisions were very close and I am quite sure there are a number of future champions in the entry. I was honoured to be given the chance to judge so many super exhibits. Also my stewards were delightful – it really does help working with efficient and pleasant co workers who put me at my ease.
