"Thank you to the society for the invitation and hospitality, it was good to be back in Malvern with the lovely Hills as a backdrop on a warm day with enough cloud at times to keep the Newfoundlands from getting too hot. Thank you to the exhibitors for the quality entry and the sporting atmosphere around the big ring we had.

I found the classes of high standard, very competitive with lots of close decisions to be made, especially the limit and open. The youngsters show great promise for the future with exciting prospects in all the puppy and junior classes which should keep the breed, with the balance, power, strength and great activity called for in the standard, on a good footing. The size and broadness of skull must be watched as some were lacking in these areas, but I really enjoyed my day amongst these great dogs and friendly owners."
