Oooh, you showing your nethies? ( At least I think I have the right person )

Just don't let Sophie see them otherwise they might not be going home with you :lol:

no,I think you might mean Sarah F with the bull terriers?Or maybe Sarah J with the exotic shorthair cats.You can never have to many Sarahs.

I shall be there and will have mice entered
A reasonably local show for me so be rude not to go
Make yourself known and I'm sure you will get introduced around, always good to put names to faces.

No big secret on my variety for me as I only have two varieties and the argente are very new, I shall be entering black rumpwhites, what ages and how many i dont know but there will be at least one rumpwhite there from me. Today is cleaning/sort out day so I will pick my mice and my backups today.

But you know a tutu would work, definately get noticed

Can anybody going post some pics please?

I'm still hoping to make it, but it's all weather permitting sadly, and if it carries on like it has been, it'll just be a day at home sorting everyone out instead for me.

MouseBreeder got BIS with an u8 cream satin. :clap

Well we managed to get there in the end.

Was a nice show, but didn't think much of how the NMC put themselves across. They had a table with membership info on which I stodd gazing at and trying to look interested in, but they obviously didn't see me to try and get a new member

In big shows were there are other fancys showing it can be very busy and many people will come for a look who don't realy have any interest in mice but just having a look. So at those shows you realy need to stop some one to speak to if no one has noticed you.
We're all very friendly it's just big show it can get very busy with all the people, but a quick hello and your well in.
I had a person ask me about the club while at the reAl London so I went and found the Secretary for them to answer all there questions.

Locating relevant person/s at major big shows which have several fancies in the same hall is difficult for any possible newcomers but as PPVallhunds has stated NMC members are certainly a very friendly bunch and approachable.

Once you have met one member you soon get to know others as the day progresses and the number of shows you attend. Even if you were unfortunate to actually meet any at a major show always worth visiting more including the small mouse only ones just to meet others that breed and exhibit mice, where one can gain so much as less distractions from other fancies within the show hall.

Subscribing for the NMC news is also beneficial as many pics of members within and excellent articles to help even beginners to the hobby.

Roll on 9th November and the Manchester show/ (must remember to take pint mug with me this time).

Thanks Sarah, well judged

And yes, you have to make yourself known if you want to speak to someone! Next time just ask someone who to speak to and they'll point you in the right direction.
