SHURDINGTON 26.04.03


This show took place at the end of the Easter school holiday and maybe that accounts for the rather low turn out. Despite this we all had a lovely day, there were 89 Syrians and 37 Dwarfs for Andrew Bryan and Tim Groves to judge respectively. My thanks to them and their book and pen stewards, the people on the sales table, Jenny doing the raffle and last but not least Rosie and her excellent team of helpers in the kitchen.
I spent time over the holidays painting and varnishing my 35 show pens. On the day of the show it made me have a good look at other peoples pens. In my opinion there were quite a few Syrian pens that needed a makeover. If you do it before it gets too bad it's much quicker and easier. There are also people still showing in dwarf pens that are not mahogany in colour. I used between 1-5 coats of Ronseal quick drying satin varnish depending on the original colour of the wood. It was easy to use and only took 2 hours between coats. All my pens are now roughly the same shade of mahogany. Congratulations to all the winners
