Judges C. Gardener & P Stadden
I was delighted to be asked to judge the Leghorns at the National alone with Craig Gardener. I enjoyed judging some good class. White bantam pullet was a good one. some birds were unlucky not to be in the cards and some looked better late in the day

Club Show at Stoneleigh 2010
Judges. Len Parker; Bill Johnson
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members for electing Bill and my self to judge the National Show for 2010
What a brilliant venue, there was a real buzz, it felt like the old times . The lighting was very good and the temperature was perfect

Congratulations must go to Ian and Chris Mills for winning both white and black classes, Club show champion was there white bantam male and reserve was there black bantam male. to my knowledge I have never known anyone to win both black and white classes.
Well done Ian Sissons on winning best opposite size to the champion with a good Large brown. Richard Grice won the (FA cup) for best Large A.O.C. Cuckoo male, Best A.O.C Standard bantam was won by Oliver and John Chalker with a silver duckwing male. Best novice was S. Dewhurst with a white bantam pullet good try. The large Whites and Blacks were not as good as other years, the other classes were good on the whole. Egg classes were poor. and finally Bill and myself would like to thank our stewards David Hickson and Val Moss.

 Judges Comments:


Easy winner in the class. Real nice bird, good tail finishing.
Good type could have been whiter
Nice type could have been whiter

 
Beautiful pullet stood well ahead in this strong class (Show Champion)
Good type not quality of show winner

Only one winner in this class real nice bird black through out nice to see a good black cockerel again.

A very poor class all birds had white in wing and body
nice marked pullet not fit (best brown)
Poor colour not fit


Good type fit nice even blue
Fit bird darker blue than the winner
Not fit poor colour

 

 

 

Only two and both buffs

 


Columbian pullet fair colour fit
Buff nice colour
Exchequer not fit

Foot Note---
Many birds were spoiled by poor presentation. When you have bred and reared your birds and then entered them at shows, just to fail at the last moment by not presenting them at their best by washing and cleaning their legs and feet.
