I have been remiss in saying my thank yous in recent years. In 2026 we had 2 delightful judges, so easy to host and helpful with all exhibitors – thank you Laura Schimke and Birgit Ferguson.
It is always delightful to see the exhibitors help one another – it is special, and very much in the Territorian spirit, even if you are a temporary one. Repeat visitors are honorary Territorians, but the locals went above and beyond this year.
Melissa, Meg, Amalie and Kirstie – always there, you keep me sane – you are treasures! … and yes Tanya, I missed you.
Manuel Labour was awarded RASNT Senior Steward of the Year, well deserved – another treasure, and the judges said I am not allowed to get rid of him.
There are many other volunteers, especially in the Trial Ring, and I won’t embarrass myself by missing any, but Gloria is my rock!
Congratulations to all the winners and I am already taking on some of the feedback for next year
