Bath Show (SHC) - 20th February 2016

[Vectis Hamstery]

The February show in Bath is on 20th February. I've attached the schedule (hopefully) to this post. It's usually a well attended show.

Who's coming?

I found out a week or so ago that we had theatre tickets booked for that afternoon so I won't be there showing James however I am hoping to pop in on the way through to Bristol to have a look around, catch up with a few people and have a go on the tombola.

It'll be nice to see you, Fluffagrams. I'll be there with Rogue and the hammies (though Rogue and I may go walkies during pet class if it gets too busy for him).

Main show entries close tonight, but pets can be entered on the day

I actually have the day off so am going to pop along again this year to have a look. It's the only show I can ever really make, annoyingly when I have one even closer but I did enjoy looking round last year.

We, hubby and me are doing the kitchen this Saturday, there's spag bol and veggie spag bol, there's gluten free pasta too, and there's sarnies, cheese n ham for the non pasta peeps.
Dessert is gateau.

The food was yummy - thank you kimlck and Mr kimlck Rogue especially enjoyed the bacon!

It wasn't a large show; there were only 72 Syrians and 42 dwarfies. There were though a massive 52 pets! My little ones did me absolutely proud. The judge was on the verge of hamnapping my Arreton

Fantastic results Vectis.

Well done to you and your crew but a super big well done to Arreton. I wonder if he was the one I was admiring when I had a look at the dom spots on the show bench?

I visited the show this morning and it was lovely to see people again. I picked up my prefix certificate from the National Sec and some show pens from Vectis (thank you for all your help with that). I had a nosey at the sales table and mum was rather taken by a winter white - maybe that's another possibility for the future too.

Congrats Vectis! I popped along for a little bit but the OH was waiting for me back in town so I didn't stop long & I was a bit too shy today to say hello to anyone but I did see Vectis & the lovely Rogue. I think Mr kimlck may have been the one who had to let me in when the door was unexpectedly locked! I was surprised how many entries in the pet class there were when I got there about lunchtime. Glad it was a success, despite the weather
