you are far to kind with your thanks    it can be very daunting your first time at a big show and showing reluctant pigs  the commentator at the show said how he noticed how friendly and helpfull all the pig people are towards each other willing to help out when  needed    we know we have been that first time entrant as well
and anyway if you don't have fun a joke and a laugh your day will be a very lonely one
and never discount that newbie they can always improve as there stock can  it is just picking up on all the minor points that can make a huge difference    one day it will all come together    once again thank you for your kind words :farmer:

 :wave: hi robert we were under strict instructions from a man we both know to stick the rosettes up to remind us its all be worth while. the pigs walked in the trailer last night like pros so fingers crossed agatha has got over her nerves.

anyway get those forms filled in for GYS and we will crack open a can or three xx.

Alison  :wave:

It's not the reversing Heidi you need to worry about - we (nearly) all make idiots of ourselves in the ring  :-[ - what you need to do is practice reversing the trailor - that's the really entertaining bit  ;D
