I hope some of you can make it to this well run show. Dave Safe the show sec is a top fancier and great bloke. Sam the NMC cup sec is going to be judging for the 1st time and although is nervous(obviously) will do an excellent job. Its always a really good laugh at this show so please do come along.

What a shame! Seawatch said some lovely things about tratallen's mice and she didn't get to read it!

Anyway, I had posted to say congratulations to Seawatch for winning just about everything (but most importantly BIS), to SarahC, who got lots of awards and showed her first pearl (which was stunning) and to tratallen, who won a 1st, 2nd and 3rd between two classes :thumbuo :clap

No, I didn't read naffink

I did have a lovely day though!
A small turn out led to it being a very nice and cosy.....dare I say it.....intimate, show

Well done to all the winners, especially Seawatch for his BIS, and to Sam Irving for doing a brilliant job on her first occasion as judge.

Just for the record I said I loved Naomis reds and so did Sam. They were too young and small to compete yesterday, but dont be put off by that they just need more time. They have good eyes and ears for reds, good colour too, well done. Roger (yes really) showed some nice reds and chocs. Matt might want to get hold of him.

Aaaah, if Roger was on this forum he'd be smiling now :lol:

Cheers Sir! That's really encouraging!

I got my original trio of reds over a year ago and have bred a good number of generations now. I'm so pleased that I have managed to.....at the very least.....maintain them.

In truth, I never planned to bring reds to the show bench!

I dabbled in other flavours of mice, but when they got ringworm, it was the reds that didn't. When I had respiratory problems, it was the reds that didn't, and when most of my mice refused to breed, it was the reds that bred like......well, like mice ought to!

Seemed like I was supposed to breed the reds, so eventually, I just went with the flow

Oooops, sorry Shiprat!
Reading my post back, I can see how I was misleading........my fault

There is a fella called Roger. He's very nice too! I was referring to a joke shared at the show.....sorry to confuse.

Anyone can go and have a look round and chat to other fanciers. It's well worth visiting a show and having a proper chat with experienced breeders, they are always happy to help and freely share advice

Well i don't think i have ever experienced something so mentally and physically exhusting in my life.

The night before didn't help, i had taken it off to get to bed early only to be woken by other half coming in from work at 1.30am and to listen to his snoring til 3.30 when i went in the spare room and could still hear it threw the wall. As i dropped off his mates contiuned to call me at 4.00 - 4.30am for a taxi home, i was not a very nice person.
The journey up there Phil was making me a nervous wreck lol, finally get down and doing it was fantastic tho i loved every min of it. Dave Bumfords baby white would have won if it had whiskers it was beautiful, Phils cream was lovely and all of them in great condition. Naomi your reds where a great colour for such young mice which will deepen as they age. SarahC thanks for putting your Pearl in front of me, what a amazing acheivment alittle to dark but my god wow you have created those, you, well done it was a beautiful animal.
I had a great day, as soon as i got in the car to come back i think i was asleep before leaving the car park i was knackered. Got back to Phils had a celerbratory whiskey and well.... i have never been so effected by alcohole before but threw no sleep or food i got trollied on 2 whiskeys before going home and passing out.

I enjoyed the day and you looked in control Sam.I have the white with no whiskers now.I very much admired Daves whites when I judged them at Manchester.So much so that I asked him for one, although I will only be using it for out crossing purposes and I've promised a brindle in return.Glad you like the pearl,hopefully in the next generation or 2 there might be a ghostly one.
