Im sure Ellie wont need it but good luck anyway :)

Just think -After taking her to a Champ Show the Open shows will be a piece of cake :)

Yep we are there, not sure which day, better go and look

Me too
Saturday for us Jackie....it is at the same venue as manchester isn't it?
Archer

Yeah me too, taking my pup to her first Uk Champ show!  Assuming that my bitch due on Monday, doesn't decide to whelp early :D

Will be there on Sunday, with Macy, nice early start out, luckily for me someone else is driving.
Karen.

Same day as me, I'm lucky my sister lives in Satfford so I'm travelling down leisurely theday before.

Lucky you, my friend is picking me up at 4.30 ish, hubby says i've to sleep on the sofa so i don't wake him up.
Oh the joys of dog shows that start at 9am.
Karen.

We're there on Sunday as well - and it's a early start for us too - friends Leos are in the ring at 9, and we're in at 10! 

Should be away fairly early, though!

Margot

I know, its lovely knowing that I will not have the worry of rushing, or getting stuck in traffic etc.  Its a long enough drive down from where I live in Cumbria at the best of times.  Good Luck anyway, which ring will you be frequenting?

The one with the Bullmastiffs, can't remember the number i think it said Annexe 1 or A. I'm sure we'll find it.
Our Judge has got a really good entry so there should be a few of us around.
Karen.

Haven't got a clue what the Dobe entry is like, I'll just look for the GSD's we are usually next to them,it serves as a good reminder everytime I watch them being shown that I really need to get fit :D

bullmastiff  pavillion A ring 4 start 9.00am
dobes  pavillion A ring 5 9.00am
hope this helps
Carol

She.
Dobe entry is good, my good friend is judging them!  May see you there.

I am showing my Border on Saturday, although have to re-enter, they didnt get my entry, fortunately I have proof of posting!
Dawn.

Well got fourth out of four today!!!!  with Ickle Man.  He showed brilliantly but hey, that's life.

Back in the morning with my mums Pom. so let's hope that she does better :d

Should be easy to spot, I'll be the one looking very worried!:D

Thanks Carol,
Did check when i got home, i can never remember these things.
Karen.

Hi - I'll be there tomorrow with willow, my unpredictable teenage beagle!

may see you then brainless? :)

Didn't realise that it was your petite self at South West Hound, otherwise I would have said hello. :D  Must rectify that Ommison.  I should be flitting between breed ring and puppy stakes, bth due on at same time (typical).

Now that second entreies cost so much maybe they should give likely judging order in schedule, and if you are due on at same time as stakes would save you wasting money :(

The weather is still horrible down here in Essex - and I'm wondering what the parking area is like now at Stafford?   Can someone let me know please - we're going tomorrow, and I have visions of getting the vant stuck in the mud:(

Regards

Margot

Well the weather yesterday and Thursday was brilliant it was hot sunshine in Manchester and Stafford,  unfortuantely it's been pouring it down overnight here in Manchester so it may be the same in Stafford.  Hopefully the ground won't be too bad for you! 

Good luck for everyone there this weekend.

Diane

Show opens at 7.00 am but we got there at 8.30 and there was plenty of parking at that time - we managed to park right next to the hall we were showing in. And on hard ground too - not mud/grass.
Was pretty busy and full up when we left at 11 ish though
And yes it rained all the way there and back :rolleyes:
Good luck for tomorrow :)

Blimey, you must have had the wrong glasses on barbara:D   a bit like our judge at birmingham (worst I have ever witnessed!!!)
well done on your wins though.

Hi Margot,
I'm off to stafford on sunday with Helen and her leo (Bear). Never been before to this one so looking forward to it.
might see you there?

Dee

You might find us with the leos .(with Kathy & Pete with Hunter & Blaze)..otherwise we'll be in Bingley Hall with the Aussies - Leos are 1st (at 9) and we're in at 10 - with Beau & Vinnie

Good luck to all tomorrow!!!
