I would like to thank the SEPMDC committee for inviting me to judge their Championship Show and their warm welcome. I had a lovely day and thankyou to the exhibitors for allowing me to judge your beautiful Pyreneans, thankyou also to Marion and Christine for your hard work in the kitchen doing a great job with the lunches and a big thankyou to my very efficient steward Neil Hood. I am grateful to Claire Pafaxen for the beautiful bags that she supplied to me, they were fantastic and the main winners were delighted to receive them, I was also delighted with the thoughtful gift that I received from the committee, I will treasure it.
