pras (Portsmouth) will be holding a breeders meeting on 26th october this will open to all to attend.

Well I went last year and it wasn't worth the trip and I only live 60 mile away. It had a very poor turn out the only show I have attended and not bought a Snake. Although it did have some nice boas and geckos but that was about it I felt sorry for the sellers there.

doncaster was small, but if you've never been to a show it's still going to seem impressive and if you like to chat bout reps or inverts(saw a lot of inverts there, proportionally, maybe cause there were a couple big invert tables and not too many tables overall) there are usually plenty of ppl there to interact with. I would say for a show, it seemed quite small with a large number percentage being leos, but my memory is crap, and I wouldn't discourage anyone from going to any UK show as we still had fun there, even if it wasn't as good as some of the others.

Sept last year..

Don't get me wrong, if I was local, I would definitely go, but it's a 5 hour drive for us, the same as Houten, and only 2 hours less than Hamm so I'm not sure how many people I would urge to drive 5 hours for it, but if i was within say... 3 hours, I'd probably attend both shows every year

I think its all relative as they say. If what rocks your boat is not there then just maybe you have waisted your time. But ---- the one time you don`t go everone tells you about the great stuff that was on offer.

I go to Doncaster with the view that i am not going to buy anything. If i see something i want then its a bonus.
To me its a day out. I get up at 5am, pick my mate up at 7am on the way. We get there early and have breakfast in the McDonalds across the road from the Dome.
Its a 250 mile round trip, but its a day out doing what i like, looking at reps.
Last year (June 07) i bought an 06 Butter corn (female). What a cracker she is turning out to be. Best £65 i ever spent on a corn. I also got a het for albino African house snake hatchling. What a pain up the arse it has been feeding wise but i am getting there. But i would hate to think i had passed on it!

In short i would not miss going to Doncaster even if its just to say i was there but there was nothing i wanted. (But there just might be so i am going) !!!
