I thought the show was quite good. It was certainly quieter, which as a punter was good, but I guess those with stalls would have liked it a bit busier.
I saw a fair few animals that I would have gladly purchased (Goins Kingsnake, Speckled Hognose (and I don't usually go for Hognose), Mexican Black and much more. Unfortunately, even though I had tried to soften up Mrs HS by taking her away for the weekend and showering her with good food, fine wine and the freedom of Norwich. She still held firm and vito'ed any new animals until the shed is ready.
However, there was a lot of equipment and decor both new and secondhand available at good prices, for which I took advantage.
I came away with a sizeable piece of Cork Bark, flouro UV strip, several pieces of slate, a large Exoterra and lamp unit.
The Exoterra will house a yemen in the not too distant future.

I will add that it may not have been the biggest of the shows, but I came away with the impression that it had a greater variety of snakes than previous shows, and plenty of inverts, although it was lacking in lizards. Definately not all Corns and Leo's.

I will go back next year if it is on.

On behalf of the EHS can I thank all the people who turned up on Sunday. An amazing selection of CB animals were on offer.
It is a shame that attendance was poor with most of the people through the door being local.

We understand that the show was cancelled last year due to the schools over-run building work and perhaps this played a part.

The show was well advertised locally in papers and radio and nationally on web sites. It is only through continued support that we can hope our English shows might grow towards the European volumes. We hope those who came this year didn't feel it a wasted trip and will attend again in 2008.

Many thanks

Caz

Well I have to say that this show had the BEST catering.....no 30 minute waits for a bacon roll

I enjoyed the show, I didn't actually arrive until the minute it opened to the public so I had fun setting up my display with everyone coming past

Yep the attendance wasn't good at all and is a great shame to see a show that was known for being packed full of visitors to only have a fraction of the usual number. I believe greater advertising on reptile websites would of helped but there's not too many places you can actually promote an event. I did put a banner up a few days before the show on ReptileClassifieds and would of been more than happy to display one on the main forum if one was available (I hope EHS didn't mind me creating the banner I used to help advertise).

There was a nice selection of animals and the venue was easy to find and well laid out.

Hopefully next year it will be busy like in previous years.

Was good to meet Caz, your python fed last night also thanks to Pete, yours also ate two rats last night Good to chat to everyone again.
