So did anybody else go to it?

Not sure how many people they had through the door but I'd guess at 200'ish.
A few nice animals, Leo morphs, some vittikin dragons some unusual mammals but nothing spectacular.
Must admit I would of been disapointed if I'd driven any sort of a distance to go but as I'm local it was worth the drive.
The venue itself could be excellent, but just needs more people through the door, if you compare any of the european shows (all get 1000 people plus, Hamm around the 10,000 figure) it shows just had restricted the herp scene is in the UK Crying or Very sad

So you did go then Scott, or did not?
We went and it was a social event for the family, got to meet many old faces and many new ones.
Came back with a hoggie and a royal diadem male.

You complain about the herp scene in the uk, How will it improve when people "blag" their way into shows by borrowing someones membership
Why dont you become a member of the IHS, pay your subs, then moan about turnouts
