I'm soooooo excited ![]() I've booked a hotel for Thursday night. Me and a friend are getting tickets for Thursday and Friday. I've never been so I am very excited. It's my birthday pressie to myself. Any tips on best things to do etc. Is it worth buying tickets for the obedience ring? ![]() ![]() ![]()

That's what I'm worried about -spending too much money.

![]() I've never been, you'll have a brilliant time. I remember Gill saying to wear comfy shoes as you'll walk for miles. |

Eat before you go in and when you come out. Snack while you are there.
You can waste a lot of time queuing for food |

We went on the Friday & Saturday last year, and are doing Sat/Sun this year.
Comfy shoes a must the place is HUGE so you do an awful lot of walking. I did also take sandwhiches and drinks as the prices there are extortionate - my friend must have spent £30 a day on food and drink alone ![]() Go see some of the demonstrations in the arena - was some really good things to watch all day in there and really enjoyed that - I also liked watching the best in group bit at the end of the day - especially if I had actually physically fussed one of the best in breeds during the course of the day. One thing I found - most people are lovely, but there were also a lot of showers that didn't want you fussing their dogs because they probably spent 3 hours hair spraying them etc - so always ask if its OK to stroke the dogs - just curtesy really - although you will find plenty of unaccompanied dogs on their show bench (this was something that did annoy me) You can spend a fortune there - but if you're sensible you don't have too - I know I culdn't afford it last year so I spent very little, and I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Oh and go see discover dogs - but don't leave that too late in the day, try go before 3ish, cuz any later and you'll find plenty of empty stalls - but was wonderful meeting breeds in the flesh I hadn't before. Have a great time - and you will sleep at night cuz it is a long tiring day |

Thx for the tip Rona.
I think I'll take plenty of snacks and water for both days. A packed lunch for Thursday and we'll have full english breakfast on Friday at the hotel to keep us going.

If you do Discover Dogs don't forget your hand wipes, petting is encouraged!...... I always make sure I get a guide for the schedule of events that way you can plan other wise I just end up wandering and miss loads.
The halls get stifling hot be warned.
