Limit Show 2004

THE SOUTHERN IRISH TERRIER SOCIETY MEMBERS LIMITED SHOW

DECEMBER 4TH 2004 - JUDGE MR PAUL NETHERWOOD (NEDAVIR)

The Committee certainly pulled the stops out for this show.  When they arrived they found no power or heating.  Eventually after driving home in a round trip of two hours everything was restored.  On arriving I would not have known anything had happened to them.  A credit to their Society and breed for getting the show going.  So a big thank-you for the Committee for the pleasure of judging the show.  A thank you to my Steward and to the exhibitors for all the hard work in preparing their charges, for my appointment.
