A brill entry at Carlisle, thanks to everyone who entered, there were lots of non area members showing, how much we welcome the support of people from out of the area, at our very friendly club. Carlisle is a long way for some members, but it is within our area boundary, which has been there for many many years, and just like Germany without the Berlin wall, there is nothing to stop exhibitors from other clubs, who are not members, crossing the boundary and exhibiting their dwarfs. And what you have remember is the exhibitors in Carlisle have a long way to travel to the other venues, but they do. Kevan did his usual efficient job behind the judging table, as did all three judges, juggling with the same rabbits, ensuring the day ran smoothly. Our BIS was Lillop Stud with a cracking Chinchilla adult, a new winner for the Northern let’s hope it is the first of many. In the National, Deanna Williams, not sure what stud name she is this month!!!, only joking Deanna, took all before her with a wonderful under 5 months Marten Sable, well deserved after the support she gives all the area and National clubs, no matter which area they are. Russell had everything in order in the catering department, even to the extent of a stunning cake, adorned with famous rabbits, to celebrate the National and the Northern holding their shows there. That is what showing is all about, competition with friendship. Hope to see you all out and about at the shows, the next stock show is the Lancs and Cheshire in June at East Lancs, with the aforementioned R Smith behind the table, we will be there even though we are not members, even though it is a long way cos we nearly live in East Anglia now!
