NATIONAL CAT CLUB
29 November 2008
Judge: Perri HutchisonI would like to thank Carol & the Committee for the kind invitation to judge at the National. Wow the National is back with a Bang! What hard work Carol and the Committee put into making this first show at Bracknell a huge success. The entry was good, the rosettes were amazing and the atmosphere was superb. Us judges were even treated to a fabulous hot Christmas dinner which was fantastic. Well done to everyone involved – long may it continue! Many thanks to my friend Sarah Sellman who stewarded for me with her usual confidence and competence. Was good to see that your back was better Sarah, and I look forward to the next time.
