Simon Beynon – Sections 2 and 4

Thanks to the National Members for the votes to judge the YSS. A show I always look forward to. Gives a good indication to the type of breeding season people have had. I knew my season had not been great so I was pleased to be this side of the table.

Thanks to Rachel on my book, Danielle and Denise (sorry Deb) Hodson for keeping me and the rabbits in check. The Sandbach hosts looked after us all day, a superb venue looking after 3 clubs.

It was good to see so many new faces and names showing dwarfs which can only be good for the Clubs future.

Congratulations to my section winners, Gary and Deb Hodson (Siamese Sable) and Joe Rogers (Black Otter) 2 worthy winners both worthy of BIS. Don’t forget to visit the NEW National Dwarf Club web site www.nndrc.co.uk.
