Joining Northern Hammy Club

Francescamice · 05-21-2008, 03:12 AM

Hi
Iam going to join the NHC next few days, so hopefully may be able to get to Lymm or the following show, Iam in Preston Lancashire and was wondering if there are any shows or Hammy events in the Lancashire area.

And yes, I will be entering Miya - my black dom spot - into the Pets Class once I join club.

Can I hire a show pen at the show? bring own shavings and food etc??
any advice for newcomers to shows please would be gratly appreciated.
cheers
Fran

Hi Fran,
For the pet class just bring Miya along in her own cage or a travel cage, make sure she has a bit of food and drink (but remember to take the bottle out on the journey so you don't get a damp hammy!) or a lump of veg to keep her hydrated.

I know there's a show at Todmorden - so the Lancs/Yorks border...not too far from the M65.

Todmorden's Lancashire! Well, half of it is! It straddles the border. I only know because my Dad doesn't live too far from there and I intend to buy a little cottage in Todmorden in a year or two for when I finally move back up North (I'm originally from Lancashire). I've been planning it since Christmas so I couldn't believe my luck that they have hamster shows there!

And its not too far to a rowing club. If I could just get my company to pay my two year's salary upfront without me doing the work, I'd move now!!

we went away for the weekend to stoke (alton towers) last year and i have mate who,s got a pet shop there

as for the murders, there was a man murdered there early this year, then there,s this one ~ Harold Shipman, the G.P. who is believed to have killed over 200 patients in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, claimed some of his victims while working as a doctor in Todmorden, between March 1974 and September 1975.[4]

yep that's the one, Harold Shipman. i read the biography. it was recommended by my pharmacy teacher cos we were talking about morphine.

lots of people stay here for Alton Towers, but i've never even been there. i hate roller coasters

some people come here to look at the pottery and stuff, too. yawn.
