Judge Judy Down

Firsty, I would like to thank the committee for the invitation to judge the open show run in partnership with City Of Birmingham Canine Association Championship show. It was an enjoyable but very long day, and one observation to improve the exhibitors experience would be for both committees to work closer together to ensure empty rings can be fully utilised.
