I'm glad you got there too. Was it just Sue and Pete today or were others helping too?

Finally home and display hammies tucked up safely in their beds - and I shan't be long before I am in mine!! I am absolutely shattered and my feet really ache!!
Thank you so much Molly (and mum, Emma) for all your help yesterday. If you hadn't been there then Pete, Katisha and I would have really struggled on our own. I hope you enjoyed it too and didn't feel that we overworked you!
Today wasn't too bad, Mark was back helping, as were Andrew and Joyce. Still sunshine and snow showers today but not the biting wind we had on Saturday. The showground turned into a quagmire though!
Relatively quiet today but picked up towards the end of the day and late sales were brisk. All Syrian babies sold and quite a few dwarfs too.
Lovely to see you today Julie - glad you finally made it. I won't tell how well(??!!) you resisted the sales table!!

Not even a hint??? what a spoilsport you are Sue :P Although I do have to admit to being on the lookout for a good SH golden boy carrying black (or a black boy) and also a good SH cinnamon girl. I think it would break my heart to hear that there were some good ones there!

I can't believe I resisted, Sue - there were some lovely BVH and Towy Vale Syrians there! If they all sold that means the lovely SH Mink boy I fell in love with got a home too.

I didn't see any Cinnies or Goldens there, Teresa (I was looking for you!) except a lovely Umbrous Golden who sold while we were there.

It's fine Sue, I just hope we didn't make any big mistakes or end up just getting in the way! I don't see the point in not helping if we have the time, especially when there would have been only the three of you if we hadn't come.
We did enjoy ourselves, and I am far more confident in holding unfamiliar baby hamsters now as well. I'm sure we'll be helping out at another one very soon - and if we are at a show/display and not helping, then please don't be afraid to ask us!

Thank goodness that tiny sable roan finally went to a new home though - I have to admit that I was getting VERY attached to the little chap

We also hope to pen steward again at a show, it was such a good experience and, not only did we enjoy ourselves, we learnt things too!

i was there on saturday, but i don't know which one was moosley or mollz i'm affraid. we went home early as i was absolutely freezing to death, having only come in thin trousers. i had no idea it would be that muddy or cold. I actually thought there was an indoor place, like at the Stafford county show. There doesn't seem to be a hamster/mouse/rat/pig/rabbit section at this year's show

Well, me and my mum were pen stewarding and then after that we stood behind the sales table (shivering all the time I might add)!

I didn't even know you were there or I'd have tried to find you.

[Moosley]

I had my big fluffy blue and white jumper on with wolves on it. I was standing looking at the hamsters for sale all day or peering at my boys in their show pens. You should have said something!!

[Bunsey]

oh, i know who both of you are now!! i saw you and your mum mollz and i saw moosely too! i thought you were just a member of the public! i wasn't in the tent long, i kept wandering about to keep warm! i was wearing a silly hat which i bought from one of the other tents. i wanted to buy the yellow hamster but we had no money to buy a cage for her as we were in a hotel.

[Matty Day]

you might of seen me to i was wearing a black coat with a hood with a very unsuasul coloured benie hat.

i was behind the sales table and i judged pets
