Cornwall Gundog Club

I would like to thank the committee of Cornwall Gundog for giving me the privilege of judging various classes of Gundogs at their show and also to judge Best In Show.

My thanks also go to my excellent steward who worked so hard to make the day a success for this lovely friendly club. A club the late great Joy Bagley worked so hard & gave her life to this club. We will all miss her but I hope this friendly club will go on with all the success it's had in the past for the future. Thank you also to all the exhibitors for accepting my decisions so gracefully.
