Open Show – Saturday 5th July 2025

Thank you to the committee for the kind invitation, I really enjoyed my entry. I think the weather put some exhibitors off, and some exhibits didn’t appreciate the heavy showers when they arrived – but we made do as best we could as it was an outdoor show. Big thank you to my excellent stewards, Graham and Judith for keeping us all right and keeping the ring running smoothly. Thank you to everyone who entered and allowed me the honour of judging your hounds.
