Mark Harris I always email Sue Carter and let her know and she tells Mark

[Holly]

We'll be there too - not sure who we're bringing as it's only a week after Highworth so I might *rest* some of our guys.

[Mollz]

I will hopefully be going too, as I believe it's only about an hour away from me.

[Matty Day]

mght go depends on the everton fixture list

[Yaffle]

Does anyone know who's judging at this show?
Also, I'm a member of the Northern club, but will I have to join the Midland club to enter the duplicate classes and hire pens?

[souffle]

Not sure who is judging Yaffle but you only need to join as an associate member (3.50) of Midland then you can take any prizes you win and earn Harry Hamster points. You could do this on the day.

[Yaffle]

Thanks souffle

[Spuds Mum]

We're hoping to go although its nearly 3 hours away from us. But I can't resist the thought of 2 shows within a couple of weeks!
