bench by 10:15am?! holy moly i'll have to get up at 6am *weeps*

p.s. is it 100% field or are there indoor areas?

[ilovemyhammies]

Do you book your entries on line and pay on the day, or do you have to send a cheque before the show?
Do you pay for the pass before the show also?
Is it just hamsters at the show?
will there any stalls selling hamster things?

i think thats all the questions for now

[Spuds Mum]

I'll be there Noo - I need to catch up with everyone! Plus I think I would get lynched if I failed to bring Gus his Snipesy!

oooo - and I will have a couple of new hams to show! Although some of my little ones will still be too young!

[nooboo]

if people can book as soon as possible that would be good, i will allow u of cause to change the hamsters right up till the monday if need be!

main thing is i need ur addresses to be given with your entries, then how many adult and child tickets you need, and if you need a car pass or not....then the hamsters you want to enter! phew lots of stuff! i need the addresses so i can send the tickets and car pass out to you, you will need them to get in! you pay me on the day but be warned, if a pass is sent to you and you dont go you still need to pay for it!

should be a lot going on is a full agricultural show so cows sheep...ferrets....hang on think i have a webby link somewhere...

http://www.todshow.org/

as hamsters are not shown on it i guess there will be a lot more besides! so well worth the 3 quid for adults, if you end up paying on the day for ur entry ticket its 2 quid more!

Plus I think I would get lynched if I failed to bring Gus his Snipesy!

	
	

			
				
In the nicest possible way  :wink: 

I was hoping Snipes might be in shape for some Young Stock showing - what are your thoughts?

I'll need a car pass, and tickets for two - but I'll send you the info in a mail, Noo.
			
		

[Spuds Mum]

Well Snipes will be just over 10 weeks old, so I would say go for it with a young stock - I think we may do the same with Copper. Shanty will be coming and Miss Lemon (unless pregnant).

[ilovemyhammies]

What is the youngest age you can enter a hammie? (syrian)

great info Nooboo, thanks for all that

[Mollz Mum]

Humph! Just google mapped this and it is just too far for us. 3 1/2 hours is just too far to us to do on a "working" weekend.
We will get to a Northern show - I am determined, just so that we can meet everyone.

[Spuds Mum]

In the main show it should be 10 weeks ILMH.
