14.01.2022 While Shelley was home on Grandmother duty. (We welcomed a beautiful grandson Maverick to our family) James & John headed down to Canberra for the State Titles as Stewards for the Show. Hi ( James now being boss & John 2IC!)This is a great show and so well run by the ACT Jump Club. Congratulations to Damien on winning his second State Amateur Title . He & Franklin just won the Country Championship and then followed it up with the State Title for the second year. Super effor...t and thank you and AJ also for helping Allana and Gordon in the Amateurs. They jumped super in all classes and were placed in the championship last day.
