For Mojomouse... BIS judging from this afternoon.

 

[MojoMouse]

Thank you kindly! (My impatience got the better of me, so I just had to ask.) There are a lot of intent faces waiting on the results. And two suspicious pink suitcases secreted under a table...

Will the results be published on the NMC website?

 

[Cait]

The speakers on my laptop don't work so I am wondering, is there any sound on the clip?

 

[MojoMouse]

I didn't realise it was a video clip! I just played it now... Yes, there is sound. Thank you for posting it. It's nice to have a peek at the group there.

Sorry i couldnt make it, Car decided it wasnt going to start then when i was moving the carry case from the car i bashed my knee ( the one i fell on when i was attacked by idiots ) so i've been in pain most of the morning... Car is now sorted, havent a clue what was up with it because i fell asleep when my dad was looking at it and now hes gone out LOL! No doubt he'll be telling me all about tomorrow and i wont really be botherd so it will be in one ear and out the other ( me and cars just dont work lol )

Thankyou Mojo I consider those Pink Travelling Cases for Maxys to be offensive to the eye. I have formed an anti Pink Society within the NMC to have them Banned. However I find the more I object to them the more pink stuff turns up at shows. It is a conspiracy and I have a plan to nobble them at the next show where I know they will be attending.

I think the baldy man is Dave not Gary :lol:

So it is. I was going to post a different photo, changed my mind but not the caption - edited to fix

Cracking day out with all the usual suspects . A marvelous venue , would be a good hall for the Annual . Did you see Phil Hall? he's been at it for years but still gets the buzz ---magic. Twice that mouse has won now , Best Tan at Sowood and now Best Tan and BIS --proves two things , a good mouse is a good mouse and that NMC judges are pretty consitant.

:lol: (For a moment I thought they may be storage cases for Opal Fruits, but clearly not!)

Great pics, MouseBreeder! All that a show deprived, curious nosey pastie from the other side of the world could wish for, and more! Thank you. Congrats to the winners!

Does BIS Phil have a stud website, and is he on the forum?

BIS Phil! Maybe that's what we should call him next time we see him :lol:

But no, he doesn't use any forums and doesn't have a website. However most of the other winners do: Wight Isle Stud (Gary) won BOA in show (with his Best Self) and I think Best AOV too. Loganberry (Heather) won Best Satin and SarahC won Best Marked. As you have probably deduced from this, the BIS was in fact a tan.

I did do a little research for you MojoMouse, as we have an ex NMC judge and Mousing Expert living on the same patch of turf as you, I asked him how close he was to Sydney, his reply was 3000 Miles.

 

[SarahY]

It was a lovely and successful show yesterday; thank you so much to everyone who exhibited mice and helped with the setting up etc. It was especially nice to welcome two newer members who were exhibiting for the first time and who worked hard all day stewarding for the judges, well done Heather and Marnie.

I do have pictures to post but have misplaced my lead, so I'll have to do that tomorrow at work.

 

[Loganberry]

Huge well done and thank you to Sarah y (blackthorn), Naomi (Woodwitch), and Sarah c for organising this excellent show. Looking forward to the next one girls!

Really? He/she would probably be in Perth, from the sounds of that distance. Lots of English people who come to Australia go to Perth. I think it's because Perth's very sunny.

Thanks for all the pics, MouseBreeder. It's so nice to be able to put faces to the names. Such a nice, friendly looking group of people you all are. The venue's pretty spectacular as well. Handy to have so much natural light for judging the mice!

Was this the main NMC show of the year?

The venue was no doubt chosen for the good light It wasn't the main show of the year, just a normal show. There are also five Cup Shows, two of which are especially well attended (The Annual at the end of September and the Bradford Championship at the end of January). There were 196 mice at Lubenham if I remember correctly
