So come on then, who went to the IHS Doncaster show?
I was told that 700+ visitors passed through the doors, must admit it was pretty packed out.
Anyway who on here went and who said hello to me and who was too shy?
What did you all think of the show? What did you like the most / least?
Overall I thought it was a great show, although venue was too small for that number of people, almost felt like I was at Hamm. Reasonable diversity of animals although of course it was quite early for 2008 hatched animals. _________________

It was packed and boiling hot - but I enjoyed it. I agree the venue seemed too small for the number of people, the September show in the big hall will be a lot easier all round I think.
Loads of gorgeous royals around, a lovely selection, and something for every leopard gecko fan. But a fair smattering of frogs, lizardy things, and inverts as well. I know it's too early in the year but I'd liked to have seen a bigger variety of corn morphs about. |

A couple, but I've no idea on the price of them or if they sold - they were youngsters. |

I was there but was a bit shy to speak up and say hi (unlike me lol) i was the scottish lass wearing the bright pink top if anybody noticed.
It was the first show i had been to and overall i enjoyed it apart from the 5+ hour trip down, and came away with most of what i was looking for apart from BRB's , cresties and gargs but theres always the next show.
