Is anyone going to Great Barr 3rd March? Or Lymm 17th March?

Just wondered if anyone from here will be there? I wasn't sure I could make it but have had to swap shifts at work anyway due to childcare issues so it seems we now can go

It will be our first show (my nine year old and me) so it would be lovely to meet up with someone we know at some point. We are probably bringing at least one hammy for the pet class - my son is keen but nervous

I also wondered if any breeders will be there with baby Syrians available as we are, tentatively, thinking about evening up our numbers with a fourth (preferably female) hamster? I'm on the lookout for a suitable cage now just in case!

We wont be there but I would imagine that there will be some of the breeders there and there are usually some for sale. You could always PM some people from the clubs and ask if they will be there and have any hammies for sale.

Shame you and Pophammy won't be there, Souffle - we were hoping you might be and looking forward to meeeting you

I think I'll do as you suggest - I'll try emailing the MHC first to see if they are aware of anyone with litters who will be there. I'll also ask them about breeders in this area as well

Thanks

<edit> email sent, keeping fingers crossed!

Where is this show? Aidan and me may pay it a visit. It would be nice to meet up with you. We're usually raking the roads at weekends anyway

I'm so left out!

I'm with you Snuggleham--wish we had some shows in the USA!!

Please post pics of the show for those of us who can't be there!!

I can't believe there aren't any hamster shows in the USA - although thinking about it I suppose it's not that there aren't any but that they are too far away in such a huge country???

It's near Birmingham, Jill - hope you can make it, Will and Aiden would have fun together, I'm sure

I'm sure there are hamster shows in the US somewhere, but they'll follow the BHA guidelines. I wish I could go to the show, but my Mum would never agree to drive me all that way!

I have just spotted that there is also a show on 11th March that we might be able to make it to - Lymm in Cheshire. Is anyone going to be there? With or without baby Syrians?

We will be there Holly and there will be hamster racing so bring your speedy wheel runner to enter that. We really only go to the Northern shows as they are near us. Jill I expect Cathy will be there so you could bring Hammy! I can give you a contact who has some lovely Syrians and you could contact her. She is likely to have babies.
