Last year if I remember correctly (its an age thing) there were 7 scurries a working test and the Mitsubushi final. The Rockwood display team is also there which our friend is in with her Munsterlander. Andrea used to be part of the team with our GSD but Cockers have some how taken over all our time.

I'm sure you are right - I started typing half a dozen but wasn't sure so played it safe ;)

so...."3pm by the scurry area" - any thoughts on a more precise location given the size of the area?

again with my memory it was a long corridor as the scurries were either side and a car park at the bottom of it. The Mitsubushi was being held in an arena in the middle of the dog village alongside a food area. The corridor is only narrow so we will no doubt see each other there. It will be easy to find me I will be the one holding either Tia doing a kangaroo impression or Lulu going demented every time the launcher goes off. Dont know what it is with our two soon as they see and hear scurries they change from calm obedient butter would not melt in their mouths to demented fools

I will be heading down on Saturday with Sydney and Muswell, looking for a new to me (2nd hand) under and over. Think I will take them round one at a time as the two together will be mental if Syd's first outing on the lead is anything to go by.

This just gets better & better  :happydance:

 will be cockerless here, so absolutely imperative we seek out you COLers with ur fur babies in tow - I'll be feeling withdrawal symptoms  by lunch time & might need a snuggle or two from your cockers  :005:  :luv:

Beer tent at lunchtime for cocker cuddles - sounds like a perfect plan!

 :D  

The thread was started with purely selfish thought in mind - that it would be great to meet some of the "names" on here and your dogs......I have a lot of thank you's to say....plus could really do with some Muswell magic rubbing off on Pearly......I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!  

What I'm really trying to say is that I didn't expect the size of the response to my first note but I'm thrilled so many people are coming to the Game Fair!

See you there!

Safe journeys,

Jx

Thought I'd better pop along this evening and check the layout really is as SteveB remembers [rather than my memory ;)] and it is.....but it's hoooge!  Far bigger than last year - the gates are normally half a field from the main car park, this evening they are right on the edge!!

And yes, the scurry area is directly behind the entrance gate - suggest the meet takes place more towards the top end of the scurries at the point it becomes the main arena area as the corridor may be a little narrow! [3pm]

Weather forecast looks good, so far, mostly sunny high 18' low 11' :D

The really important information is that the beer tent [one of many I'm told] is by the House :shades:

Big thanks to "Jimbo the Security" for letting me in to check....
