I'm so excited about Andover. My first ever show! I'm bringing my handsome Smarterone and Marteser sable boys and my LH yellow Custard, and maybe even my gorgeous little WW Poppy to try her in the pet class. My Mini is going to be rammed full of hamsters! I just wish it was this weekend as I can't wait!

Nope, you only need to be a member if you want to take away a trophy. But you can just register on the day if you want!
