We are doing both in Dec, Hamm on the Sat Houten on the Sunday, Houten is a great show, a much more relaxed atmosphere to Hamm.. a lot of people at hamm will go to Houten as well, but also there are often a number of vendors at Houten who aren't at Hamm, so there is something different, and if not, it's a nice relaxing day, not packed, not hot, can have a proper talk to some of the breeders that may have been really busy at Hamm

The only extra cost for us really is an extra 1 night in a hotel and a bit of fuel. If you're paying for the ferry over to Hamm anyway... might as well take advantage of it and get 2 shows for the price of one ferry fair And staying in a hotel makes it more relaxing and much more of a break.

I use Stena Line to Hook of Holland as it's only 1 hour drive from Houten, but it is not a cheap ferry usually

Just got a question about the hamm show myself. Is there any rules on what you can and can not bring back into the country. Probably is for DWA, but what about anything else? Also is the actual place easy to find?

Sorry for hijacking the post slightly.

Thanks

Neil.
