Judge's Report - Adrian Knaggs
It was great to see many exhibitors at the show & to be able to judge your birds. After careful consideration, Best of Breed was awarded to a black cockerel with Best Opposite Sex going to a black pullet, both birds belonging to Steve & Graham Hodge. Many congratulations for turning out some great birds.
I am pleased to say that not only did the black cockerel go on to take Best True Bantam but Show Champion, a superb achievement for the Hodge boys & for the breed.
