National Working and Pastoral Breeds Ch Show
July 2023

Many thanks to the secretary and committee for inviting me to award C.C's for the first time in which I did my best under the circumstances and conditions. Also thank you to my stewards Gwen and Shelley on what turned out to be a very trying day and to all the exhibitors. I found today that however some teeth did require attention.
