CRITIQUE

Judge: Mrs Hilary Male (Malenbrook)

I would like to thank the Officers and Committee of the Club for inviting me to judge at their open show. I was made to feel so welcome by them all. I would also like to say thank you to my stewards Anita and Brian for being simply the best stewards you could ask for. My thanks also go to the exhibitors who braved the weather and got to the show and for the sporting way you accepted all my decisions and for the way you clapped everyone – it is so refreshing to see and long may it continue.
