I thank members for their support and enjoyed the day. Females came out on top as being the best of colours. Birchen pushed the partridge females for best of breed. Best opposite sex was a pile which was beaten by the female pile.
Three good trios, the finest well matched trio won the day.
Writing notes and cards as well as judging proved quite a task but I had good support from my good friend Derek Goodley as steward, and I thank Dean and Simon for sorting out the pen numbers.  Trevor Thompson
