Sorry!!!!!!!!!

In my excitement about posting the event I forgot to say that our Club is running the ferret side of things for Cornwood and that Beki is going to be our very able judge.  I will be there even if not with ferrets as a steward or just helping/getting in the way as usual.

Wonder if there is a place to camp close by  :confused:

Technically it isn't our show as it is put on, paid for, covered on the insurance of Cornwood so they decide the classes and organise the rosettes.  They do give us a cut of the takings as a thank you but it is their show so its their rules.

Our club rules will only affect the summer one at Priddy and our Christmas one.

Some of the people for the dog shows camp in the showground so Beki is going to find out if the ferret people can do the same.  If not I'm sure there are campsites near by  :wink3:

Yes Mary that is fine.

Have just spoken to the secretary of the show about camping and she is going to let me know over the next couple of days if it is ok when she has spoken to the farmer that owns the field. Will post on here when I find out more information.

Hope the farmer has a problem with rabbits then either Simon can sort them or the ferrets can  :laugh:

Alternatively. Anyone just wanting literally a place to put your tent then the farmer next to the showground has given us permission to camp on his field for Saturday night ONLY! There are no facilities other than a hedgerow so the choice is yours.

If you wish to go for the field adjacent to the show for Saturday night only please let me know by tomorrow evening at the latest as he needs to know asap.

If you wish to camp at the site please contact them direct and book your pitch.
