A very hot day for the hamsters, judges & exhibitors. This show was held in conjunction with the clubs AGM.
There was an entry of 119 main class Syrians and 8 non standard for Judge Sylvia Smith, and a good dwarf entry of 71 main class dwarfs, and 16 non standards for judge Joanna Roach.
Congratulations to Stephen Claydon on winning the pets class (judge Gerald Barry), and many congratulations to Jean Tye & Carol Leat on winning BIS & BOS Syrian, and BOS Dwarf, and to Daniel Knibbs for winning BIS Dwarf.
Many thanks to all the judges, stewards, the sales & kitchen team, and to everyone who helped tidy the hall at the end of the day.
Judge (Syrian) - Mrs S Smith
