Judge – Mrs Kath Kirkman
| Firstly, I should like to thank the Clumber Spaniel Committee for their warm welcome, a first-class venue and lovely food. It was nice to see some old friends, especially ones to mention Margaret Cordwell, Margaret Cottom, and Gina Bowers. A big thank you to my two stewards, Sara and Nigel who kept the proceedings running smoothly. I had looked forward with anticipation to my judging appointment having been away from the Clumber ringside for some time, however I was disappointed to find exhibits that lacked substance, inner thigh muscle which showed up in poor rear movement. | |
