Date: 28/6/2008 Place: Axel Class: C Judge: Bob Beesley

I would like to thank Greet & Ed for giving me the opportunity to judge at their show. Also for the hospitality shown to Steve and myself, we were looked after from the moment we stepped off the plane until the day we left. The food was superb as was the entertainment, we could not have been looked after any better.

On the day of the show we were introduced to all the competitors before judging commenced. What a welcome, especially as this was my first visit to Holland.

We commenced with Class C at 9,30 and from the start it was clear that the standard was very high.
