Our Roving Reporter Michele Linton of Siarung Siamese attended the Humberside Show with friend, Craig Dryden. Michele reports; 'The day dawned rather wet and misty for most travelling to todays show and for Craig and I it was an early start and a 4 hour drive - the things you will do for a passion. I had travelled Humberside last year but that was just a quick visit to pick up a kitten and we saw no exhibits but did realise the show had diminishes in size since our last visit in 2000.
2000 (April Doncaster) 2005 (June Hull)
Total entry 768 235
Orientals 35 10
Siamese 43 23
The other sections were affected too. Venue? Clashing Shows?? Exhibitors Losing Heart? Personal Finances???
It makes for sad reading. Anyhow the show had a nice atmosphere and there were lots of lovely stalls and to top it all at the end of the show we emerged into a beautiful summers evening some going home happier than others but thats the name of the game, theres always the next time. '
I also received results and pictures from Kay Simpson of Flutterby Siamese who is our newest show reporter and photographer... Thank you Kay..
