I must thank Anne and her team for the kind invitation to judge and their hospitality on the day. Also congratulations on the smooth running of the show under difficult snowy conditions, I am sure that I am not the only one who was pleased to get away early. To Lee Orton who stewarded for me grateful thanks, he handled the cats with care and excellent humour. Hope we can work together again soon.
