To Sam and family my deepest condolences at the loss of Baggy. We had some fun times when we showed dogs together. It was bittersweet catching up with him on his visits to ED the last few months.

Worked with Baggy at Lorneville Real good bugger taught me a few jobs on the chain in early days & how to get the loudest bangs out of the shutes when ripping down & throwing trotters.
Rest easy mate.
Budgie.
