I've got the day off work (I normally work Saturdays) to be able to go to this one. It'll be interesting to have a look round and see what goes on, particularly as I would like to start showing hamsters one day.

I'm looking forward to it.

I'll be there with Rogue and the hamster show crew. I do enjoy the Bath shows though I plan on going for a walk during pet class as it gets too loud and busy for Rogue.

I'll look forward to meeting you there.

What time would you recommend arriving? As May is quite nervous of strangers and isn't that good at sitting still, I'm not going to be showing. I was thinking around 11:30 ish so that'll give them time to set up and bench the hamsters.
