Many thanks to Brenda and Sue for the invitation to judge and to the club for their hospitality. A most enjoyable day with some lovely cats. Also a big thank you to my friend Sue Barrett who came to steward for me especially. Hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did. I look forward to the next time.
