It was a wonderful sunny day for the first hamster show in Bushey near Watford.

Thanks to the judges who all did a splendid job, Joanna Roach for Syrians, Sylvia Smith for Dwarfs and Peter Logsdail for Pets. We had 106 Syrian plus 11 Non-Standards and 18 Dwarf plus 5 Non-Standard and a really good turn out of 25 Pets.

Thanks also to everyone who helped in other ways, Chris in the kitchen, Michelle, Daniel and Esther for pen stewarding, Julie-Anne and Vickie for book stewarding, Colin, Jenny, Adrian and Gill for sales and Heli Koskinen from Finland who helped me with some secretarial jobs.

Congratulations to the winners: Syrian B.I.S. - Esther Hornett, B.O.S. - Daniel Knibbs. Dwarf B.I.S. - David Baglin, B.O.S. Vickie Johnson.
