2016 Annual Show

The 2016 show was not judged, we had a problem with the booked venue being closed due to asbestos in the ceiling. We were not able to find a replacement venue for the two days of the weekend at short notice. Cardiff Senior Citizens Centre was only available Saturday evening and all day Sunday. We worked hard to set up the show Saturday evening to have it ready by the 9am opening Sunday morning, there just wasn't time to fit in judging. It was a good show and we are working on having a judged show in 2017.
