MASTIFF ASSOCIATION OPEN SHOW

26th SEPTEMBER 2004

Judge: Terry Monro (Stornum)

A Fine day which the odd shower could not spoil, a warm welcome from the officers & committee, a garden party atmosphere, an entry of 155 from 69 Mastiffs and a present of Col. David Hancock's book The Mastiffs The Big Game Hunters which will give me many hours of pleasure. Many thanks to my able stewards Hiliry Sargeant and Peter Sarjeant. I enjoyed my day judging the Mastiffs and the generous applause was a bonus.
