Many thanks to Sheila and team for the invitation to judge and to the West of England and South Wales Cat Society for their hospitality. I had a most enjoyable day with some lovely cats and was very ably assisted by my steward Colin Stone. Many thanks Colin, I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did. I look forward to the next time.
