Romsey Cancelled - What a washout!

[Bourne Valley Hams]

After gloating to our Blenheim comrades about the lovely sunny day at Romsey yesterday we have got our comeuppance!
The Romsey showground this morning is completely flooded and the show cancelled.
All we could do was pack up and come home again.
So sorry to those of you who made the effort to come and help us today and had a wasted journey.
So much for worrying last night because we had sold almost all our hamsters!
Big thank you to Louby for bringing my baby to me anyway - thank you too Basia, she is a real sweetie!

Oh no what a disappointment for you all and bad news for the show too. That happened to Northern twice last year with all the flooding up north and it has a big impact on finances

[NaomiR]

Oh no that's terrible, I'm so sorry for everyone who made the effort, what a total pain in the wotsit - honestly I don't know what the weather's up to right now???

So sorry, you must all be sooOoo dissapointed

[Basia]

Oh that is such a shame for everyone involved. We were so envious of you yesterday too! Why does it always rain on bank holidays?

You are very welcome Sue, I hope she has a nice litter for you.

Thank you Louby and Hamster Widow for taking her to Romsey, especially as the show was called off. I owe you a very big favour!

flooded?! there's not a drop of rain here. Very high winds though. Someone's ariel has blown away

How awful, it does sound as though Romsey got today what Blenheim had yesterday.

The problem with these outside shows always seems to be the unpredictability of our English weather - as Souffle says, the two Northern shows cancelled last year really hurt the clubs finances, and I am sure that the same will prove true of Blenheim and now Romsey for the clubs.

What rotten luck all round.

Thame was a bit of a washout the first day too. There was hardly anyone there the first half of the day.

Luckily Romsey was lovely yesterday. Nice weather, lots of people and brilliant takings for the club.
Infact we were a little concerned that we would leave a lot of people disappointed today as we only had 4 babies left to rehome out of the 27 we started with.
As a small bonus I won't need to sort out a tombola for the Andover show as I already have a boxful prepared!!

I'm sure she will be a star Basia - just like her name, although Katisha has told me I have been spelling it wrong - it is Yvaine not Evaine. I have checked the website and she is right!! Comes to something when your 10 year old starts correcting your spelling!

i have to say i'd be very proud if someone like BVH wanted one of my babies to breed!!
