Mum corresponded with judges while they were involved and for many years afterwards. Given this time of year, I thought the feedback from one of the judges from our earlier years, in a letter to Mum, might be of interest.
"Looking back over the last year I am very glad that you asked me to help. The whole affair was far more interesting and stimulating than I'd expected. In curious ways I felt it enabled me to get to know Pete again. Even though he'd have understood but not necessarily agreed with our result."
