Is anyone going to Andover that I could get a lift with? It's a little too far for me to want to drive on my own, I would find it a little bit nervewracking. I would happily drive to the people who could get me a lift or something.

We would be happy to give you a lift, but it would be about/over an hours drive from you to us anyway and then an extra hour from us - so it's a really long way round for you!

Unless you want me vomitting everywhere you'd have to share the back seat with the hammies too :wink:

Lol thanks Mollz, if you could PM me your address and postcode so I can look at distances and timings, and then I will let you know? I just don't feel comfortable for driving over 2 hours in one go, as I get tired and my knee often hurts :S

You make it sound so appealing Mollz :wink:
You really are welcome to break the journey here if you wish I-A-P.

i'd love to go to a southern. I'm hoping to go down south on a holiday this summer and combine it with a show. Maybe the Bath one in July or bowood

I'm thinking of going as I'd really like to get to an actual show (rather than just a display) this year....but its one hell of a trek! As the crow flies, its not too far but its totally the opposite side of London for me and I live right in the centre (slightly east - just by the City) so there's no avoiding the traffic. It looks like a 2.5-3 hour drive each way. :(

But I'd really like to try Custard in a show....

I think I just might go .....though it could take me almost 15 minutes to get there. :D :wink: OK, 10 minutes if I put my foot down!! :D

We will be away in Liverpool that weekend for HW's parents wedding anniversary party.

Did they not think to plan their marriage around such crucial events as hamster shows? :roll:

Apparently there is an Anover train station. Does anyone know if the venue is far from this?

It is a little more than walking distance but would only take a couple of minutes for one of us to pop round in the car and pick you up. There are usually one or two people who come by train.

It would be no problem to collect you, it would only take a few minutes.

As far as I'm concerned, it's only really London if it's full of council estates, hoodies and has a London underground station nearby... :lol: ...That's what it's like round this way anyways!

i know it's not really in london. it's just a little joke from a northerner. Everything down that way is "london". Pretty much the same thing as when southerners tell me i live in manchester, which is 40 miles away! one southern pal even said why don't you nip into birmingham.... um, b'ham is 50 miles away dear. :lol:

Ahh, I was getting very confused here thinking to myself "I'm sure it's over an hour away from London" lol :x
