Smooth Collies

Judge Karen Angier

Many thanks to the committee for an enjoyable day despite the weather. Such a well-run show and my stewards who did a great job of trying to keep the gazebo in its place. The rain didn’t deter the exhibitors but unfortunately my notes did take the toll but once dry mostly able to read. Really friendly show and a lovely lunch – Thank you
