Hi, is anyone going to the Monmouth show? Whats the difference between the diplay day and the other day?

Unfortunately the Monmouth Show is the same day as Brockholes (North Yorks) for us so we'll go to Brockholes.

Usually, on these weekend shows, one day is given over to the actual show, the "display" day is just that - visitors to the show come to the hamster tent to look at and learn about hamsters - there's no actual hamster show that day.

I'm contemplating but it won't be easy - as I don't drive, it'll be either two trains and one bus, or one train and two buses, meh. It's my nearest one though (typically, I'm on holiday for the one in Cardiff in September, grr!). I don't like the thought of bringing back hammies on public transport, not for that length of time at least... And I'm itching to get another hammy, so it'd be very hard to resist of I did make it!

I'm going, this one's a local for me!
I might even have something for the sales table.

The female I wanted to mate won't stand so I have decided to leave her for a few weeks as it is so close to Highworth now and I planned to mate my sable girl as soon after Highworth as possible. Truffle, the sable, is standing regular as clockwork at the moment, which means she would be on heat the evening of Highworth so I will probably mate her 4 days after. That will be a BEC/sable mating both long-haired. The father is a Tristar Ham so I have my fingers crossed for some nice babies.

Any idea of the possible colours?

There should definitely be cream and sable - you never know what else will pop up!

Hello everyone

I'm new on here and this is my first post. I have 2 hamsters a honey syrian and a sable roan, both boys and both lovely!

. I hope to go to the Monmouth show next saturday, I have looked into public transport - as I don't drive and will probably catch the National Express from Cardiff to Monmouth and then from Monmouth I will probably have to get a taxi to the showground, can anyone tell me if the showground is within walking distance of Monmouth bus station ?
