No need to be patronising really is there mate.
Theres a lot of members on here that are by no means a ''muppet'' or ''joe public'' or need to be fully signed up members on a normal non show day.

Any one wanting I.H.S website heres the link.

I don't really need to worry, I have a family membership. I do agree that only IHS members should be allowed to IHS shows though, as those people should be educated enough in the specific care for the species they are purchasing there. If people really cared for saving the UK shows, then I can't see why they can't get an IHS membership. Having member-only shows will discourage would-be bad owners from getting a reptile, just to end up mistreating it.

It may also discourage would be good owners from getting a reptile as well, especially if non members are classed as "muppets"

I am sure that there are far more mistreated dogs,cats,rabbits,birds,small mammels than their are reptiles

PALAMANDA some of what you say is true, but the point is anybody can go to a pet shop and buy a snake ,the shop will gladly sell you one no questions asked , if your a member of a club you have paid your fee for the year this way you are showing your best intrest in your hobby you get to no a variety of people ,diffrent breeders etc, its completely diffrent from talking on a forum the breeders are there to sell there reps most of them no each other, i dont think twenty pound for a joint membership is out of the way , you get a newsletter you get a booklet a couple of times a year full of information, and all the show dates. after all you can spend that money in the pub in under an hour. so its not much to ask for when the I.H.S do so much for so very little pay and hard work they put in organising the show .

Members only shows????
Does anyone remeber how packed the Portsmouth shows were?? I can tell you - about 20 people through the door. I thought we were moving forward - away from the members only shows. Shows in Barking, Basildon, Kent and Norwich are all open to everyone. Does that make them all irresponsible?!
