I will be at this show too - only 1.5 hours from Hull which is one of the closest to us!
Live In or around Yorkshire and fancy coming to a rat show?
There is a NFRS show in Sowood (between Halifax and Huddersfield way) on the 28th of March.
Rat shows are run by volunteers and this show is at risk of cancellation due nobody volunteering to help which worry’s me.
It should be a really nice friendly small show, I’m show sec (doing the paperwork) and I would like to build a friendly and vibrant Yorkshire rat community back up after loosing the Yorkshire Rat Club a few years ago. We are at real risk of loosing our local shows and that’s such a shame.
You don’t need rats from breeders, special rats or experience to come to a rat show or volunteer. You just need a free Saturday and a love for rats. fun fact is I won best pet at the first rat show I ever entered with a rescue buck named Buzz, he was a roan dumbo, classic pet shop colour!! I had no rats from breeders and it was the second show I ever went to. This was 11 years ago. I caught the bug and here I am years later.
Going somewhere new can be scary, but if any of you have ever met me or had rats before you know I’m a chatty person and always happy to meet new people. Come and hang out for the day.
This should be a perfect first show as it will be small and friendly. If you would like to find out more or ask questions about shows please message me 💖
It’s very not serious and of course winning is nice but it’s about spending a day with like minded people who also love rats.
