I'm sure she will soon. Their main computer has died and they are having to cope with just a laptop at the moment.
I think she may be away helping her daughter with the children this week but will no doubt be back at the weekend and start getting things organised for Thame.

Oooh, I guess I better put mine in soon too. I have 2 this time (althoug Amelie will only be 10 weeks old, so I'm not expecting too much!)

Sue, would you think help would be needed appreciated on either the show day (Saturday) or the first display day (Sunday)? And what kind of thing would it be? Mum is willing to help too.

I'm quite keen on pen stewarding, but don't want to do something wrong and also don't think it is fair to leave mum on her own all day after she has driven me miles to a show - would she be able to help or should it really just be 1 (I do understand if it is). I also don't mind helping on sales (but again am worried about making mistakes) or any other things too as long as I do get to see a little bit of the show, which I'm sure I will.
Chris was on about volunteers sitting with baby hamsters for people to look at/play with on the display - do you think this will actually happen or not? I don't want to bother Chris and Peter if they haven't got a computer at the moment, so thought I would get some advice from you first!

Just to let everyone know who is sending entries in for Thame that the email address for Chris (the show sec) is wrong in the first post.
It says :[email protected] instead of: [email protected]
So I would reccommend resending them if you have already sent them in to this address!

Yes, I'll see if I get a reply within the next few days and if I do not then I will give Chris a ring. I'm sure she won't mind me checking, especially if they are having computer problems.

Yes, please Molly - we can find both you and your mum something useful to do!!
Don't worry about making mistakes, there will always be someone there to help you. You won't have to stay working all day long, we make sure everyone has a chance to go for a wander round the show or just sit and relax.
For your first time pen stewarding you would have someone who knows what they are doing helping you, the same on the sales table - you won't just be left to fend for yourself.
On display days we set up a big play box and the display and sales hamsters get a chance through the day to have a run around in it - always a big draw to the public! Being in charge of that is a great job as you get a chance to sit down next the box and take a break whilst the public coo over the hamsters!!

Well we are both happy to help where we can and will be there on the Saturday and the Sunday then.
Do I need to let anybody else know, other than you, that we are coming to help out?
