Hi folks,
I was wondering if any of you guys n galls have any experiance of the Hamm show as a vendor? I'm looking for experiances in regard to costs (table, ferries, travel, and local hotels) mainly but all advice would be welcome. I had planned on booking a table for December but their site doesn't say how to book a table.

I would like to go to Hamm this year, my partner will drive us. When is it, where exactly is it? Do you have to pay on the door to get in? Do you buy tickets in advance? I really don't have any idea how it works. Is there a website or something? Help lol!

Tortoises are a different kettle of fish and also mammals, so it's best to check or ask someone else who has baught them back as apart from the hedgehogs we baught back I don't have a clue about the rules for these and you don't want them taken off you. You need to make sure you have some water with you too as many of the animals may have been in there box for a while and been de-hydrated. A good rule also is to wait till your home to get your animals out of their boxes as you don't want to have to stripe your car apart to find them lol.

So... has any had any difficulty bringing back tortoises or mammals? I think as long as you have the paperwork it'll be fine but I'm not sure.

hey guys , planning on joining the creaks trip to hamm next month as a eu show newbie , am v,excited but slightly concerned about walking around with a huge (lol ) wad of euros in my pocket in such a crowded place. surely it must be heaven-sent for pick-pockets , do the traders/breeders not have credit/debit card facilities ???????

also, at the risk of sounding REEEEALLY stupid, but as i have absolutely no idea of how long it takes to get there, is it one long drive through the night to get there and thwn another long drive through the night to return home ?

thanks guys.......
