Karen you are more than welcome to come for as long as you can - would really love to see you there. You could bring your wee ones too
If anyone wants detailed directions please do not hesitate to ask. I really hope a few of us will be there, especially those I have never met before, like a little Hamster Central meetup. Bring your friends and family too.
If anyone can help with advertising then please say I have posters and the schedule is now available too for those interested in entering either as a pet or the show classes. You would be surprised how many first time people win prizes and even with non-show bred hamsters.
