Judge : Mrs Ann Pickburn
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| Thank you for my entry and how nice it was to hear applause for the class winners. I was delighted to see several former exhibitors from the past sat watching the judging. Thank you for your support. I was pleased with the quality of the entry, several classes were close decisions, the grass held some very interesting smells which resulted in several exhibits being distracted on the move. |
