Judge Mrs Judy Thurlby

Firstly, I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge and congratulate them on such a well run show. Thank you to the exhibiters for a super entry and for their sportsmanship. I was very pleased with the quality and presentation of the exhibits. It was challenging with the weather conditions, well done to all the handlers.
