SEWSSC

Grateful thanks to the Officers and Committee for the invite, I thoroughly enjoyed my day. Thanks also to my stewards Charles Dixon, Tina Smith and Ruth Waller who looked after me all the way through to the end. Lastly a massive thank you to the exhibitors for a wonderful entry and your sporting behaviour which unfortunately is lacking at so many shows nowadays. I was spoilt for choice in many classes and congratulations go to all exhibitors for presenting their dogs in such clean condition.
