Meaning all Lignum Gordons that attended were in the cards. Thanks to our judge, Mrs Yvonne Slaughter for the placings and to those who kindly took photos to record our day.

Those also qualified and entered but were home on maternity duty were
Lignum Whirlwind JW 'Marmalade' and Lignum Miss Mossberg for Balnakeil 'Ziva'
Just as proud of these ladies!
