A scorching day but luckily I managed to find shade for all dogs. A good day with a happy atmosphere and some promising puppies coming on to watch in the future. For the first time ever I struggled for helpers and only had one volunteer steward. People often ask if I can get extra judges, not realising the extra bodies required when that is done. As our Chairman said at the end, if you progress into Open, please help at some of the lower levels, or if a new person, it is a great way to learn and see the dogs up front. Stewards are vital for the smooth running and early conclusion. Thank you to the ones who came up at the end. I will be contacting you!
