SOUTH EASTERN WELSH SPRINGER SPANIEL CLUB 

  SUNDAY 30th JANUARY 2011

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee, for inviting me to judge my first breed show. I was very pleased at the excellent entry with very few absentees, it was a most enjoyable experience. Thanks should also go to my two very capable stewards and for the lovely lunch provided.
