Elise+Hudson Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Just wondering who else would be there for this weekend? Hopefully now I have the general gist of the show ring, who goes where and when, I might have a few minutes to just relax in the middle of the day and try and catch up with as many people as possible! I will be there for all 6 shows with Hudson :D This will be his second show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoL Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Take a tent and a chair and a book then ... plenty of time for nanna naps in between shows We're there only for the Sunday shows - it gets too much for the kids otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise+Hudson Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 I am hoping to get my gazebo set up on the friday morning, I probably won't get there till close to midnight on thurs, or I will have to leave quite early friday morning!

Hi, If you have someone going up earlier than Friday get them to save a space. We got there last year Thurday at lunchtime and got the last spot at the Gundog ring......you'll probably still get a spot on Friday but just not near your ring. Not going this year......this was excellent last year....though very tiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only doing the Sunday this year, 6 was too much last year. Elise - when you arrive at the grounds, turn right and working is the last ring you will see - the road curves to the left and working will be on your right.

Elise+Hudson Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Well the plan at the moment is to leave on Thursday afternoon which should get me to the grounds around 10pm. Hudson's breeder will be there, and I might be able to see if she can save me a spot. I was really hoping to get a seat where I could see some action! Having only the one baby makes for a fair bit of spectator time! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevafollo Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 We will be there... you will have plenty of time for socialising it will be three very long days! Yes spots will be hard to come by thats for sure!!! We were there at 11.30 thurs last year and there was atleast 100 people waiting for the 12 oclock mark to stake out their weekend property!!!!

Huntia Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Take a tent and a chair and a book then ... plenty of time for nanna naps in between shows We're there only for the Sunday shows - it gets too much for the kids otherwise. This show is my 1st anniversary for showing Every show I take a book... but never get a chance to read it....too busy talking to everyone!! But I will still take one this weekend...just in case :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise+Hudson Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes Huntia that was me! How funny we ran into each other that day, hope pup is feeling much better now! :D I just spent until midnight tonight in at work trying to keep a dog alive I had just done serious emergency surgery on, so now I have nothing packed, Hudson is brown and dirty and I am soo soo tired! So if anyone at all can hold me a spot.. close to the working dogs if possible, but anywhere near a ring would be awesome. If you message me your number I can text or call you? Also will anyone have a microwave if they are taking a camper etc? Just wondering if I could bring some frozen meals or I need to find other food once I am there. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoL Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You have the new Charlestown Square in one direction (it's a bit of a sheisen fight as it's massive and I always get lost) or, if you go in the other direction there's Maccas at teh roundabout if you're desparate. If you turn right at that roundabout you go towards Glendale and Cardiff and there's definitely supermarkets there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
