WELL DONE !

This years 2002 Nothern Ireland Honey Show hosted by the Belfast and District Beekeepers Association was, in the face of an extremely bad honey season, a huge success with 64 honey entries.. Congratulations to everyone - the standard was as usuall extreamly high and our highly experienced judges, Micheal and Redmund from the FIBKA and our Jim did a great job. The mead went down well too, there was lots of giggling and bursts of laughter at the mead class...the winner only having a half bottle (if that) left to celebrate.

Thanks to all involved on the days especially to Alan Jones (the main organizer),Gordon, Dickie, Martin, Phelim ,Oonagh, Bill (who spent a lot of time on gaurd duty), Joan and Philip (ie myself) not forgetting our judges Micheal, Redmund and our own Jim.
