Ware cancelled

[jav07]

The I.H.S. will not be organising any more breeders meetings in the south of the country for the foreseeable future, this was a committee decition due to the fact that we had less people through the doors than we had last year, we feel that this is due to the fact that there are numarous meetings near to the Ware venue through out the year and we feel it is not fair to those who book tables to carry on with the meeting, so the society will concentrate on keeping the breeders meetings at Doncaster the largest in the country, as we believe they are after the attendance we have had on the 7/09/09 at the Dome.

Awww Ware is the only show the I dont have to travel for at least 45 minutes to get to, I spent £350 there this year.

do you not feel that the heat problems with the venue had anything to do with it ,as someone who books tables for these shows i feel that is the mane reason i would not go to that venue again, but would go to a show in that area

i dare say the heat played a major factor,but also the travel,time and costs all added to it as well

so maybe the society should change its name from international herpetological society to ' i cant not be bothered with southeners, non international, northerners only society '
the I.H.S IS A JOKE, get a proper internet presence and get into the current century.

Why dont you say what you mean...

Or how about, there are loads of shows in the south of the country regularly but barely any (in comparison) in the North.

so that makes it ok to cancell the only one they do in the south ?
I pay a yearly membership to the ihs , do you ?
get your head out of the sand ,it might not affect you personally now , but the ihs is supposed to be just that THE INTERNATIONAL HERPETOLOGICAL SOCIETY , if the cant be arsed with organising a show a few hundred miles south of doncaster , what future do they have as a INTERNATIONAL society ?
