The organisers had provided beverages, cakes and biscuits and participants brought their own lunch with them. The Venue by Elaine Simms: The venue also got the thumbs up from many people with it being mentioned for the club shows, lovely central location, easy to get to, spacious without being over big, good facilities, a reasonable charge, light & airy with 2 sets of double doors leading to a fabulous outdoor area, that was partially covered, ideal for an outdoor show where there was somewhere to stay dry on a wet day, topped offwith a really good sized car park.Kenn Birch wrote:%u201cOne last comment on today'sSunday, what a fantastic venue,hat's off for finding a superbplace with everything there for agreat day%u201d The Question and Answer panel:Vanessa McHugh, Maggie Mott & Jill Cowper photo Donna PrestoVanessa McHugh judging the Puppy Classes photo by Donna Preston
