I don't know where this should go, so please move to where best  :D
I am just SOOOOOOOOO glad I am not a judge for the photo competition.  ;)
The quality is just superb.
I do NOT know how you can possibly judge it and just glad I am not  :005:

Yep there's some brilliant entries already - I don't always have time to check the photo boards so I'm seeing lots of Cockers I've missed.  :shades: The usual pattern is the judges are really excited about it - until it dawns on them just how difficult a task it is, then the panic sets in. Last year's judges are only just out of rehab.  :lol2:

It's taking my mind off the stress of selling our flat and looking for somewhere new :lol2:

Just a reminder the 2010 photo competition closes at 12 midnight on the 31st of March so get snapping this weekend  :D

There are so many gorgeous entries I'm glad I'm only counting the votes this year but there are room for more!  I have a feeling the judges may regret agreeing to help out as it will be a mammoth task  :shades:

Good luck everyone  :clapping:

Very nicely put Julie, I totally agree.  :shades:

It's hard to say - the year we had celebrity judges it took almost 2 months to get all the results through, which caused much stress and anxiety.  ph34r  :lol2: Last year it was only 6 days though.

Looks like we may need to revise the results announcement date to sometime in June.  :lol2: ( An all night session with a couple of cans of Red Bull and you'll have your results for Helen before she sits down for breakfast.  :lol2: )

Just number all the pictures, put the numbers in a hat and voila!  Or is that not the idea  :005: I judged a whole comp with the OH and we changed our minds about three times and argued still....
Just look through them and go with your first choice, then head off to the priory....

Good Luck to the judges, we tried to make it a family affair when I judged last time but it only complicated things when we didn't agree  :shades:

Good Luck everyone, there's some gorgeous pics in there and it's a shame they can't ALL win   :luv:

Do you know, I thought 'Oh we'll have a lovely family evening and all choose together' Then when I really thought about it, I thought 'Actually, I'll have a lovely quiet evening on my own with a bottle of wine' :005:

There are SO many lovely pics so I'd just like to say....... Eeeeek help me!!!!!!!
