mice are on the Sunday.

 

[andypandy29us]

would love to go but the trains and busses on sundays are rubbish the earliest i could get there would be 2pm

 

[pro-petz]

Same for me, very difficult getting to any shows held on a Sunday using public transport unless they are on my doorstep.

You would think that show organisers would think of this and also the fact during our current economic climate the costs involved with travelling using public transport are also greater.

 

[SarahC]

99.9% of shows are on a Saturday so not an issue for mouse exhibitors.I posted a link to this show because it has a wider appeal to people interested in keeping a variety of small animals including pet keepers and is held over 2 days.

Oh wow, and 'The Rabbit Grand National'. I had no idea rabbits enjoyed such things. That video is adorable.

I have a jumping rabbit He wont be jumping at Harrogate though.....

Ill be there on the Sunday though =]

I sure hope somebody takes pictures of the mice. I'd like to see the actual mice that win and place. What on earth is the mouse auction listed? Surely it's not what I think?

Exactly what it days mice to be auctioned off.....these are if course put under a judge first to make sure they are good healthy stock true to the standard set with i think proceeds to go back to the club.

 

[SarahC]

some of those rabbits are amazing.Proceeds from the auction do not go to the club at this event.

Aaahhh, now i know i do recall a converstation regarding auctions and where the money goes just cant think where it was and at which auction class tge money goes to the club or if its split ect....

How come Digby isn't jumping or is that on the Saturday only?

I think they are bringing the Swedish in again to display, Digby isnt upto the standard that their rabbits are.

 

[SarahC]

I was wowed by the footage of the overseas ones.Maybe next year for Digby

 

[pro-petz]

Maybe start training our mice to be show jumpers and out do the rabbits.

 

[Oakelm]

I shall be going, decided i definately do want to get into showing, have a section ready for a show line in the mousery once i have decided what to go for only been toying with the idea for a few years :lol:

If anyone wants a lift then i shall be travelling up on my own so 3 spare seats from derbyshire m42 j11 so happy to detour on route up to pick folks up. I plan to be there for the start of the mouse judging, but if whoever has anything entered happy to travel up a little earlier.

 

[PPVallhunds]

i sadly wont be going, its my birthday that day and i also dont have enything to enter so dont fancy the 12hours of driving. But ill be going to crawley and possibly manchester in april.

 

[reecef]

I am likely to attend this, this will be the first one i have ever gone to so please forgive me should my question be abit daft but are you able to purchase stock here or is it just a case of exchanging contact details?

Thanks!

 

[SarahC]

It's against show rules to buy and sell stock.There are auctions for rabbits,mice and g .pigs.

True but there is the auction class at the end of the judging that will be for sale to members of the nmc.

But not open to public like you the others are, so better to just make contacts and get the mice you want that way
