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. My stewards made it a very pleasant day being very organised and efficient. Generally my entry was good and I was very pleased with my final line ups. Some classes were more mixed than others and the grass which - although beautifully cut - held some very interesting smells which resulted in some exhibits being unwilling to concentrate on moving. |
