Best in Show

I would like to thank the Committee of The Collie Association for inviting me to Judge BIS at their Open Show.  I had a really nice day and compliments to the Committee and helpers for making the show run so smoothly, the hard work involved to set-up for two shows, and not forgetting the kitchen as always, excellent food.  

It turned out to be a very warm day (I think they booked the weather) it was like a garden party atmosphere.  Thank you to my two other Judges Rachel Tilley (R Collies) and Mrs J Eyeington (S Collies).
