We had some very entertaining entries for the pet show! If you haven’t done so already, check them out on the new Pets Corners channel in ITS Social (join code 35kxxwr).
Mark Gee, CIO, had the responsibility of judging – a little different to the usual demands of the job! He had some really difficult decisions to make – after much deliberation he placed the winners as follows.
Class 1: Waggiest Tail
1st place: Steve Cotton’s entry
2nd place: Andy Ferguson’s entry
Class 2: Grumpiest Cat
