BFBA National Championships

This time last week we were at the BFBA National Championships. Derek judged the Royal Bath and West farriery competition, which this year included the British Farriers and Blacksmiths Association National Championships, alongside Andy Reader-Smith AWCF. We had a thoroughly enjoyable four days, well done to all those who were placed and huge congratulations to Grant Watt, 2019 National Champion, and his striker Jack Casserly who got to take home the Derek Gardner Sledgehammer!
