I went had some tables, £5 was way over the top for entry just cos u dont want to join the IHS, i am sure this put some people off going and the heat was unbearable, the top windows could have been opened to cool things a bit, i packed up at 2 cos the spiders were overheating

I was looking to start planning for shows next year to sell at, but as said I think heat was a problem along with the entry fee, this will put off alot of custom, other than that it was a fairly decent meet.

Im not a stool holder and it was my first show but as a first timer i thought it was a very relaxed environment again as mentioned earlier the heat was a bit unbearable which cant really be helped unfortunately. Apart from that i enjoyed myself and would go back again and probably pay the 5 pounds again although it would be nice if it was a little cheaper

But to me it was just a nice day out and i came back with a lovely boa!

I didn't go but a friend without the internet had a table and he said it wasn't a bad show, it was very hot, which made it hard on the animals.. but you can't exactly pick the weather!

Barking was boiling too.

That will be good, just the entry price then, i had a customer come in to buy a singapore blue from me, entry added 10.00 to the cost, i think the only show that costs £5 or more to get in is hamm, and thats got 13000 sq foot of selling/buying. i just dont think non IHS members should be penalised twice with later entry AND double the entry price

However it was a good show and i will be booking for next year and thank you to all the organisers

Except for the heat and entry price it was a good show
made a nice change to the bustle of Barking.
All the animals appeared to be top quality and the sellers were friendly and gave good information, did a bit of quizzing hehe
Good show but the aircon will be welcomed
