Has anyone got bench numbers yet so we know where to head? Any ideas for a get together if people are up for it?

I think Kim gave her bench numbers as a meeting point which are 9096-9098...little does she know that the whole of COL will descend on her  :wink:  :lol:

so we have a venua for the party (those who aren't sure just look for a large group of people screaming wildly at all the cockers!), but do we have a specific meeting time? I don't want to miss any of you !!!

Well I'm coming from Scotland and having a stop over in Manchester the night before  :wink:  I asked my dad as he drives everywhere and knows everywhere and he said I would need to leave Manchester at 6.00am the very latest if I wanted to make Birmingham for 9.00am  :shock: due to the commuter traffic etc  :( So i will be there 1st thing hopefully  :?
Can anyone answer a quick question for me  :?:  because its a long day etc and because I'm bringing 2 kids, I thought it might be a good idea to bring 2 collapsible chairs (the ones that fold really small) in case I can't get a seat....is this a good idea??? I'm also coming heavily equiped with plenty of grub as I refuse to pay the rip off prices  :twisted:
You'll see me coming a mile off  :lol:  I'll be the one with the huge rucksack, chairs a tent, a camping stove......OK I'm kidding  :wink:  :lol:  :lol:

Edited to add.....I got my tickets today  :D

Got my tickets too  :lol: I dont mind what time- i'll probably be flitting about all day, but plan to get there earlyish, depending on the traffic.

I'm a bit concerned Kim - I hope too many people wont distract you or your dogs (or the people around you)?  :?

My thoughs exactly Mike.  We can see how we go as long as it is still OK with Kim.  Maybe meet at her Benches and then move to a quieter area although saying that it is total bedlem by the Cocker Rings as they are such popular dogs  :wink:  Word must of got out  :wink:

I'll be bringing loads of Guernsey Gache all buttered with Guernsey Butter.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness  :)

Depending on where my benches are, last year I was on an end of a row & had loads of room, but the year before, in the middle of a busy row opposite stalls.

Meet at my benches by all means, then see what the situation is ok ?

You all have to come for a tipple to celebrate with me tho, will have to decide what time is decent to open the wine !  :wink:

I was thinking the same thing Mike  :?  We wouldn't want people complaining by clogging up the benching area  :wink:

Will you lot stop going on about Crufts - it's just not fair :lol:  :lol: Seriously though, it's a good point Mike makes about clogging up the benches - last year Ruby's bench was right in front of the Cocker Club stand so you can imagine that it got a bit crowded round there! There's a grooming area at the back of the benches which is usually a bit quieter with more room to breathe so that might be an option for you all.

And now to another silly question (hopefully the last one  :roll: ) Is there anywhere you can sit if you want to see all the judging, or do you have to bring a chair ?

There is seating around both rings but seats get taken very quickly so it's usually standing room only by the time things get going :lol:
