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.
