Come & Say Hello in Yorkshire
« on: July 13, 2011, 09:42:14 am »
Once again we'll be taking our pigs to some of the shows around Yorkshire this summer ( the infamous Clover will be with us! ;D) so we thought it would be a good idea to let you know where we'll be so you can come and say hello.

Driffield Show (East Yorks)Wed 20th July
Ryedale Show ( near Kirkbymoorside/Pickering) Tuesday 26th July
Thornton-le-Dale (near Scarborough) Wed 3rd August
Tockwith Show (nr Wetherby) Sat 6th August
Ripley Show (nr Harrogate) Sun 14th August
Egton Show (nr Whitby) Wed 24th August
Penistone Show (just out of Yorkshire nr Holmfirth) Sat 10th September
Nidderdale (Pateley Bridge, Harrogate) Mon 19th September

Please do come and say hi, always happy to talk especially piggy!
Look forward to seeing you

Should be at Penistone with the ponies.  But the in hand class is very early - 8.30am I think.  Going to be a big rush of feedng animals to get there for that time.

I know what you mean, pigs have to be on showground by 9am for Driffield next week which means we'll need to leave home at 7am so the other piggies & dog will be getting an early awakening for breakfast!! ;D same again when we go to Penistone.
Look forward to seeing you there

Driffield tomorrow so we will be mainly bathing Clover & Trixie this afternoon in gallons of warm water & Johnson's baby shampoo(we should have shares!!), then its packing up the truck for an early start tomorrow morning.
Sounds like the weather is going to be iffy so waterproofs all round!

Just a quick note to say we won't be at Thornton Le Dale tomorrow as Twinkle the hippo pig has not farrowed yet but looks imminent!  ;D

Went to Ripley last Sunday and poor Clover was pounced on by a very nasty OSB, poor Clover was very shook up and at least had the sense to run away to the other side of the show ring, has a couple of nasty bites on her neck! Bit swollen but healing.
Will be at Egton show next week, so hope she has a better time should be a good day out. Fingers crossed for nice weather.

Hi
sorry to appear thick, but what's OSB? thought of lots of possibilities but I'm know it will be obvious. :-)
How is Clover?
might get to Penistone, planning on getting to Nidderdale.
