Thanks unicorn.I have printed that off so i know exactly when and where. Love the novelty classes..I will hopefully be bringing parsley in, it is pretty sure that parsley has a damaged or even a foot that deformed at birth and we have not noticed it.So the vet has classed him as a special needs bunny.Is there a class for him....

Sounds great! Love to take Comfort and Lenor along. Do I have to be a member? If so, can I join on the day or does it have to be in advance? Comfort will have to get working out. She has gotten awfully fat over the winter.....

you can join on the day but I need enteries in by the Sunday before as we have to know our numbers for pen hire. If you pm your email addy I can email you a schedule. I was debating a class for special needs bunnies, but I figured there is bound to be someone out there who would find it offensive

I would also like to add that anyone who would like to be more involved and help out with the setting up before hand or even just selling some raffle tickets or putting up a few posters would be greatfully recieved with open arms

How on earth can anyone take exception to a novelty class for special needs bunnies.We use the term for humans so why not our beloved pets.Parsley will always more help than most rabbits so that makes him my special needs bunny....but you are probably right,it would incite a riot amongst rabbitiers...

I must also add that the outbreak of VHD in Edinburgh is currently being closely monitored and so far there have been no other cases but if there are we will not hesitate to cancel the show as we will not risk this disease entering our rabbits.

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended the show and made it the massive success that it was. Everyone had an absolutely amazing day. Our shows are only possible with the massive support and help we get from our committee, exhibitors and the members of the public. I would like to add my special thanks to our sponsors The Liam Henderson Memorial Fund, Dounreay and Councillor Macnab I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for supporting us.

Best Junior

We have a lovely article in the Press and Journal today. They phoned me yesterday and were very interested in the clubs success. It is on page 4 and has a lovely picture of Hannah Deverson and her cavies.
Thank you to all who took photo's and contacted the press on our behalf.
