My sincerest thanks to the Secretary, Officers and Committee for their invitation to judge Tollers and for their excellent hospitality today. The lunch was delicious. It was a great honour to be afforded this judging appointment. Thank you to my efficient stewards, Nigel and Merriol, who kept the ring moving. Finally, my deepest thanks to the exhibitors for giving me the honour of judging their dogs, and for their excellent sportsmanship.
