Thank you Zoe for the invitation to judge this level 3 and thank you to the competitors for accepting my decisions gracefully. I hadn’t planned on setting any particularly challenging hides, but one or two did prove to need better handling skills. As ever a couple seemed to forget that doors can be included in the perimeter search, I did suggest a recap of the rules the night before a trial might be helpful. Fortunately it didn’t prevent anyone from qualifying. A bit of minor trashing went on in the boxes and luggage and outside a couple of not quite at source on the drainpipe otherwise I think everyone did well and tried their best on the day. Well done everyone you were a lovely bunch and I look forward to seeing you again.
