You will probably find me at the sales table for the whole day, so you needent look far.

Were leaving at about 7am, so should be there for about 9am (in theory!)

If I do come home with 2, does that mean I can blame you for predicting it???

Can't wait to see who you come home with too....don't you have a few spare cages???

Feel free to blame me!!
Yep we have some spare cages at the moment (although 1 is for mum's new boy!)

First shows are very exciting and a little bit scary.

We were incredibly nervous for our first one (Bath) and really didn't know what to do. We did stick around for a snack and cuppa, but then left as we didn't know what was expected of us. Loads of people talked to us, even though we didn't know who anyone was.

Just introduce yourself to people and Molly and I will look out for you. We are still meeting people from the forum for the first time, it's lovely to put faces to names.
And once you are into it, it really feels like a close community, I'm now hooked on logging on and chatting to everyone! It's even more fun once you've met them.

Try not to go to bed too early, as Molly says, we never sleep anyway!

It is a really big show, lots of tents and things to see, me Pete and Chris were really surprised at how many things there seemed to be

I think you are doing dwarfs Leanne - Andrew has his 'favourite' book stewards and I think he has added you to his list!!

James calls me a hamster addict already....goodness knows what he will do if I get worse after tomorrow!

Ok...i'm off to bed to read Hamsterlopaedia....see you in the morning fellow hamster addicts!!

Ooh how embarrassing!!

I like doing things for Andrew as he is a very good consistant judge.

I've only ever pen stewarded for Jean so would be nice to steward for her sometime too

I can't wait til tomorrow - I hope we get chance to look at the birds of prey, mind you there are enough wild Buzzards around the Monmouth area, I kept looking at them today

Goodnight -see you in the morning!

[Mollz]

Yep, see you in the morning Louise - and everyone else too!!

wow, that's an honour plankton! i think if i book stewarded I'd be staring at the hams going "awww... cutie" and forget to write anything

it takes a great deal of restraint not to squeel "awww, look at that one" every time the judge picks one up at a show anyway! my mum say i bruise her by grabbing her arm every time there's a cute ham! how many years does it take to get over that?
