As ive joined the south of England hamster club this year I have decided for next year to enter the exhibitor of the year completion f dwarf and Syrian categories so I thought I might register my prefix as everything will be up and running next i.e. I will have enough hamster to compete quite well and it would be better than using my own name can anyone give me an idea on the cost of registering for a year ?

I am not sure I think it is £4 and then you pay to renew yearly.

Wendy Barry sent me a thing with what happened on Saturday and said in March there will be a full thing on registering a prefix, which I want to do also.

Matty, how long have you been a member?
I'm pretty sure you need to have been a member for more than a year - or did you mean you want to register your prefix next year?

I'm pretty sure Julie (Holly) has only just registered so you could try sending her a pm.

You need to have been a member of a club for a year before you register a name then you apply to, I think, Sid Skidmore and the cost is £5 initially then £2 per year to renew. You are automatically entered in the exhibitor of the year competition when you enter any class Matty. You get 1 point per straight class won plus points for grand challenge which are 6 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd and 1 for 4th. It is all detailed in the hand book which you should now have or be getting soon.

i'm going to register a prefix in the next couple of months. It seems unfair to show my mum's hamsters under just my name, so the prefix with be something hams and will go down as both of us. I think my prefix will be Silverdale hams.

When you enter you entries, do you give your prefix then, so they know what name to say if you win and what name to put in the journal

Yes I think that's what you do Bunsey. I have to wait until August before I can register mine - but am already looking forward to it!

i'll probably do a poll of a few options and see what people think. My mum thinks Glenwood hams! I wanted to make some suggestions out of my hamster names but i'm not great at that and can't think of anything!
the names i was thinking of combining somehow were Bunsey, Harvey, Hemma. I guess i could just be called Harvey hams!
i also thought of Honey hams, but that's already one

What's your's Theresa, i can't remember

Is it a year from when you join the hamster club or a year from when you start showing? I have been a member of Midland for a year in May but only just started showing. Is it the same with novice because most of my first year I haven't shown anything. Will I be intermediate after May?

how about hunny-buns? a sort of cross between honey and your bunsey?
Or Herbunsey Hams? Or Bunemmavey Hams? Oh you have plenty to play with using the names I think?

Mine will hopefully be "Madabout" Hamsters, as this is my website name it just sort of makes sense! Ken has mentioned it to whoever does it at NHC to sort of 'reserve it' bless him!
