The Annual Breed Show was held on Newark (Notts) showground on Saturday July 4th 2009.

After a gap of a year as a result of Blue Tongue movement controls we were blessed with excellent weather as the selection of pictures show.

All breeds were represented, except for Golden Guernsey, who unfortunately had to cancel their show through lack of entries.

I am sure everyone would like to thank Vicky and Robert Hardy and their team for all the hard work that made the show possible. Special thanks also to the team of judges - Graham Godfrey (AN), Steven Thomas (BA and BT), David Brace (S and T) and Margaret Hardman (BS).
I was given the honour of judging the best pair in the interbreed competition. Congratulations to the BS pair for taking the title and the BT pair for being runners up.
