Just wondering if anybody else is planning on going? 

We're going along to support the British Lops and maybe buy ourselves a new loppy lady  :)

Congrats on your qualifiers - we're new to pigs, we only started out in March this year and I'm not sure we'll ever be brave enough to attempt showing!

Will more than likely see you there then  :)

Just the Baaa's, yes! Although we'll have a peek at the pigs as we used to keep Tamworths and Gloucester Old Spots. Do you know what time approx it'll be? It'll be our first...

Thank you! I look but I don't see and would never have noticed that.

What time should we aim to get there? It says 7-10 livestock arrive but it doesn't say anything about humans wanting a nosey!

We're not leaving until later today, do not sure if we'll be in time to look in today or not, but I'll certainly come and say hello at some point  :).

We were too engrossed in sheep to visit anything else! Bad of us I know but we had time restrictions and sheep come first! A lovely day, all the breeds were wonderful, such an array.
