Email Jane (ferretjane@hotmail.co.uk) and ask if it's okay to come. As far as I know Lily, myself, Lizzie and Lesley (zooey) are going but I don't know other than that. I'm an invited guest Tina so you won't be the only one =)

Becky, are you sure it is actually OK to advertise this, it does say invited guests only. I would rather a member of a club advertised their event, that way there can be no repercussions. Specifically in this clubs case, I do not get along with specific members of GEM, so I do not want to give them any reason to start anything on this board, and as you may had read else where they are very quick to accuse people of infringing copyright... :wink3:

Oh sorry I only posted it as it was posted on fefo by Mandy so i pressumed it would be okay.

I have no idea of the history between GEM and yourself so will not go into that.

So long as people email and ask if it's okay to come I don't see that it would be a problem.

ETA: I have removed the location of the show so that people have to email Jane if they want to come.

It is advertised on FeFo which is publically accesible so I shouldn't think it is a problem

Coming within the week Mo, I have to wait for Jane to upload them as I forgot my camera.

I went with Lily, Steve and Lizzie from surrey ferret rescue. We all did some great PR. there was a guy there that fed his ferrets bread and milk (why?!) and wanted to breed his viscious sandy jills (facepalm) between us we gave him some good info on feeding and breeding and convinced him to work with his jills to make them more friendly. He was scared of Callie at first due to his girls being 'viscious' but he was soon smitten with her.
Very proud of my fuzzies. Maisy got 1st place in the any other colour class, Tim got 2nd in poley hobs, Callie got 3rd in sandy jill, Luna got third in bino jill and Luna also got third in special friend. I also won the raffle twice! The best part for me though was to see Ruffian behaving himself and Tumble being bright as a button =)

Trisha, Lesley and Heather also did really well =) It was a lovely show and I really enjoyed meeting people and their ferrets that I hadn't met before from fefo.

It's amazing that people still exist who are dumb enough to feed any animal, let alone ferrets, Bread and Milk... No wonder the poor ferrets are biting him, they are slowly starving to death...

I would have thought that if he could find out about a ferret show then he could find out how to feed a ferret properly... >:(

Well done to your fuzzy's on their wins.

Woo hooo!! Well done everyone  :ovation:  :ovation:

What a silly man, thank goodness he was there, as hopefully he will take on board what was said and start feeding his

ferrets a proper diet. As for breeding them  :R :R give me strength.


Aww, I would have loved to have met Lily as well, such a shame we couldn't make it.

Don't worry, there's still the cowpie show to come and the surrey county show in May which I am pretty sure we are all planning to attend =)

I have to admit I handed over to Lizzie at the point he told me about feeding them bread and milk as she was more tactful than i would have been! :bite:

Despite being misinformed he was very willing to listen and learn which was great. I think he just popped along to see what the show was all about. He didn't bring any fuzzies and left fairly early. We also got to educate a lot of people about microchipping too as Lily had a microchipping section at the show. All the fuzzies that were microchipped didnt even notice they were too busy licking the 'tone!  :laugh:
