Many thanks to Maria for my invite to judge. I was fortunate to have my colleague Mark Pearman helping me in the stewarding department today. Always a great pleasure Mark & thank you for your great company & expertise. Also for the marked catalogue! I look forward to the next time! Apologies to exhibitors for the delay in submitting this report – a few weeks of illness have kept me from my PC.
