Is anyone going to this? I will be there with my rats and thinking about entering some gerbils too

[Wysseri]

Hey,

Are the NGS going to be there? Last I heard it was doubtful??

I think last January they pulled out (apologies if I'm wrong), Harrogate is a lovely venue and setting but it's very easy to get to as it's not on a major train line and usually requires local service trains to get to it so it has a fairly low attendence (I think this has been the case for most fancies, not just the NGS)

[Lauryn]

There's a train every 30 minutes from Leeds on a Saturday. That's my train!

Unfortunately, I will be working! Shame, I haven't been to a show in years. And that was guinea pigs.

ooooo i wanna go!! i really wouldnt no which gerbils to take though - i got my LCP nutmegs.. but i duno what the show standards etc are so id prob lose

[Loz]

It's not all about winning and losing Steph, it's just fun to join in even if your pets aren't show winners!

Regarding the LCP Nutties, I don't think that's been standardised by the NGS just yet; if you've got any Golden Agoutis, they're a great one to start showing with
