Fab! I'm not that far away then, think I'll head over on Sunday, won't be able to make it before then as I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old with the flu.... Can I be a pest and ask for opening - closing times.
Actually, toilets..... will they be in plentiful supply..... 2 year old again............

 

[dorinda]

Lots of loos - it's at the new Lawrie and Symington Auction mart - don't leave it too late as on sunday we can uplift our birds as from 3ish - 3.30 - look forward to meeting you all - I can be recognised by either the fact that I will be either speaking French.. or that I'll be wearing a brown jacket with a Faverolle badge on it.. I've got Cochins, Brahmas, Favs in Large fowl and bantams, Asils, Ko-shamo, Sebrights (gold), pekin (partridge) , Suffolk chequers and Araucanas (black) entered - 38 birds in total.. just look for the wreck - it's bound to be me 07 07

 

[Aileen]

Oh my goodness D!!
38!
You're hardcore!
This will be my first show, really excited. I have got the Poultry Standards book out from the library as I was thinking of entering as a Novice at next months show (I didn't know about this one!)I will look out for you, it would be lovely to put some faces to names.

Best of British, have you managed to wash all 38??

WIll you be speaking in French because the birds don't understand English.....or are they bi-lingual 01

Hi Dorinda,

WELL DONE to your and your birds....... 08 08 08

(had a sneak look at your results elsewhere)

Might we have some photos and your results posted on here when you have recovered ?

 

[Aileen]

Hey D,
How did you get on... well we did come and I was a bit in awe of it all, not sure what I was expecting, more of a coffee morning I think!....
I think I may have saw you - brown fleece jacket with a badge on it??? Carrying what looked like Rosettes...? Are you a champ?
I was gonna say hi but just in case it wasn't you that woulda been kind of embarassing.
