I would like to thank the officers and committee for inviting me to judge their March open show. I was made to feel most welcome and the hospitality was second to none. I would also like to thank my stewards who did a very efficient job on the day, the exhibitors for a quality entry and for accepting my decisions in a sporting manner and applauding every class. It made for a really pleasant atmosphere. Thank you all.
