Thank you Tom Cawood for your consistent and fair judging. We enjoyed having you up and loved the tie breakers that you came up with — good way to end the day with laughs.

Thank you Mike Kordusky for helping so many of us prepare for trials and dedicating your time and hard work to our club. We couldn’t do this without you.
