"I was so excited to be invited to judge the Southern Newfoundland Club Championship Show at the Kennel Club Building in Coventry and I had an amazing entry of 86 dogs making a total of 102 entries. Sadly, there were a few absentees due to 'Storm Bert' and the snow, rain and floods that he caused across the country, but I am amazed that so many of the exhibitors braved the elements to come to the show.

Thank you to my super-efficient Stewards Bill and Patricia Grey who kept everything running smoothly and to the exhibitors and their beautiful dogs for entering under me. Also, many thanks to the Committee for organising such a great event and for the gorgeous crystal vase that they presented to me at the end of the show."
