If you've been caught up in the winning fever of the Olympics why not
continue the momentum with a win at the National Show.

This is a reminder that entries for the show must be with Mike Stansbie no
later than Thursday 9th August either by post or electronically.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the show.  Entrance tickets are
available on the door and we can guarantee you a great day out.  Remember to
leave space in the boot for all those purchases from some of the best
nurseries from UK and mainland Europe who will be selling at the show.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks Heather and Tina. Now I'm here I am sure I will stay and enjoy myself. Perhaps I should keep the judge bit quiet as that is lightly to start an lively debate.

I must say that I am looking forward to the national but with all my duties I doubt I will have much time to look around either the show or the nurseries the latter may help to preserve the bank balance.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

To try to get back on topic and that was hopefully arrange a time and place for meeting. As there are a number of members using the Premier Inn on the A1 /A14 may i suggest we meet at the premier Inn at about 7pm.
I will be working at the Animal Centre in the afternoon helping to set things up but will be at the Premier Inn at 7pm untill about 8, 8/30 as i am on duty early the following morning. Hope to meet many of you as can make it. Safe journey.
Thank you .

Well I'll be there Maurice but I believe some of us who are staying will be going out for meal, not sure what the arrangements are yet though.

I hope you will all make it to the forum stand on the day.
