2014 Show: Judges' Reports - Phillipa Holmes

_______________________

Here is my top 10 , actually I have 12

In no particular order other than the classes I judged here goes:

229 - Blue pt Birman kitten. Lovely markings and such promise.

234 - Black MC kitten, lovely strong head and super coat. Eyes to balance. Many may have missed this gem as in blacks the eyes can look small even when not.

230 - another blue point Birman. Male lovely but has a little puppy fat and his coat needs to settle.

305 - Persian I think chocolate and white but can't quite recall beautiful top of head and lovely grooming.

410 - blue colourpoint Ragdoll. Now I know the others liked the bicolour but I think this one is better. This pattern often struggles to win over a nice bi-colour because they aren't so flashy but the type for me was superb, I was surprised he'd been neutered hopefully his new owner will continue to show him in the neuter class.

123 - Cream smoke MC lovely strength to the head and superb temperament.

107 - Black Exotic. Excellent coat and body, presence.

507 - Tortie OS. Loved her tubular body and balance. Such flash.

603 - Blue BS lovely young male kitten with super body.

605 - blue and White BS female 4 months. Can't wait for her to grow, just a baby such promise and she's going to have a fab coat too.

702 - Caramel lynx point SI loved to expression and body of this guy, lots of charm.

709 - young blue Burmese, loved her look and overall balance. One to watch.

I enjoyed the show enormously, you have a great team and were very welcoming. I've never started judging at 8am before but as I said to someone, I don't know why it would bother me as by that time I had no idea what day it was let alone time.

I thought your paperwork was easy once explained and everything I needed was there for me to do my "thing". The cats were well behaved and most were groomed well.

The ladies who provided the food did a great job. I love soup. Tomoko lead me astray with the muffins and Alan Raymond introduced me to the rocky road.

The hotel was super. What lovely helpful people. So clean and comfortable.

My thanks also to Genevieve and Jane for the sightseeing and their fun company. I have to hokey pokey chocolate and I left them with the liquorice - fair exchange is no robbery. I suspect Genevieve will want you to invite Asa Broing so she can bring her more!

My great disappointment is that we didn't stay longer and see more of your lovely country. My appetite has been whetted.
