Barking show, A few q's
A big hello to everybody, I'm interested in going to the barking show and just wanted to ask a few questions really,
1. What am i likely to find there? animals and equipment 2. Is it family friendly? i have 2 young daughters (3 and 1) and was wondering whether it would be worth taking them down to the show (fairly long drive from Coventry with 2 little s**ts in the back  )Any info on the show would be greatly appricieated (sp?) and any pics so i can get an idea of what to expect would also be nice  thanks, John

Welcome to the forum
 ive not been to the barking show but the rodbaston and doncaster ones are pretty open, the only problem with takingreally young kids is sometimes it can get pretty rammed in certain rooms and wouldnt be easy to push a pram around, but if you where carrying or could leave with OH in the cafe should be fine :p also, wouldnt the donaster one be closer to you ? and the rodbaston one MUCH closer to you ?

Rodbaston is right at the other end of the year - a lot of people don't have the paitence (me included!)...
It gets really quite busy, but you do find quite a few kids at the shows. This one is right by all the shops in Barking, so you can escape for a bit if you need to... You'll find loads of reptiles (cb stuff) and there is usually plenty of equipment and livefood too.

I can assure you that there will be many, many more people than that one selling leopard geckos! Last year a good third of the tables had at least one on there - a good 4 or so of just leos!

Hi ya
Its a good show but then i'd be bias LOL there were 500 peeps through the door not counting kids but there were lots it is child friendly I think they'll also be a creche so if you buy reps you can put them there save having to carry lots around usually lots of leos areound my friend is a big leo breeder i may do a table for him if he wants and we'll have various geckos there as well take care paula xx
