We had an entry of 73 main class Syrians, and 1 non-standard, with 38 main class Dwarfs and 9 non-standard for our judges. Many thanks to Syrian judge, Sid Skidmore and his stewards, Sue & Wendy W. And thanks as well to our Dwarf judge, Andrew Bryan and his stewards, Pete & Sarah.
Everyone was kept well fed and watered by Rosie Ray, who worked hard manning the kitchen, thanks Rosie. Many thanks as well to Julie Ann & Colin Wearn who were kept busy on sales. There were some lovely pets entered in the pet's class for judge Elaine Skidmore, and congratulations to Sophie Ball for best pet.
My congratulations to all the class winners, and to Jean & Carol for winning Syrian Best in show with their SH Golden girl, and to Star War Hams (Wendy Wright) for Best Opposite Sex with a LH Satin. I (Somershire Hamsters) was happy to win Best in Show Dwarf with "Dylan", my Pearl Winter White, and congratulations to Jean & Carol for Best Opposite Sex with a Normal coloured female Winter White.
Thank you to everyone, who at the end when were all tired and ready to go home, stayed to sweep the floor, clear up and put the tables away, your hard work is always appreciated.
Judge (Syrian) - Mr S Skidmore
