THE KENNEL CLUB OF JERSEY
CORONATION OPEN SHOW SUNDAY 7th MAY 2023
Can I thank the officers of the Kennel Club of Jersey for their very kind invitation to judge at their May Open Show which coincided with the coronation of King Charles. The hospitality shown to myself and Irene was second to none and we had a great time with you all on the island. The show had a great atmosphere which was enhanced with many of the exhibitors making such an effort to celebrate the coronation with their decorations for the best dressed coronation area.
