Hi folks,

It doesn't look like my Purrs badge will turn up in time unless it comes later today so I'll be improvising

Looking forward to seing as many of you as possible tomorrow.

Cheers

Leigh

Edit: I made my own Purrs badge for tomorrow so look out for someone (me) wearing a personalised Purrs badge with my name on dangling from a snazy blue lanyard, I knew there was a reason I kept such things from all the conferences that I've been to over the years.

In the famous words of Blue Peter "here's one I made earlier"

Reynard · « **Reply #35 on:** December 06, 2007, 23:39:03 PM »

Ann, will be wearing a Purrs badge and an Our Cats badge! Hope to meet up with you.

Dropped some stuff I'd bought for the stall off at the branch co-ordinator's this evening, which I'd actually lugged all the way from London on the train yesterday. Needless to say I got some very strange looks, but who wouldn't, sitting on a train with 20 pawprint blankets and three furry cat tunnels...

Gonna be a hideously early start on Saturday - have to get up at 4 am to leave for 5:45.........

Just checking in on this thread as I am off to London tomorrow (very early) with two of my CP friends, having a shopping day Friday but not too much so I can spend lots on Saturday. Hope to see peeps around the place and will keep an eye out for you Witty. Be back Saturday night so plenty of time to get my bids in (if I have any money left that is

)

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #25 on:** December 03, 2007, 23:29:53 PM »

I used to love this journey cos I would get to Earls Court and all these crazy cat people would be everywhere and the load getting off the train used to have all these bags of goodies and boxes and stuff to carry

clarenmax · « **Reply #24 on:** December 03, 2007, 14:37:34 PM »

Cheers for that, just been checking online meself. I'll be coming into Waterloo, so will probably jump on the tube to Earls Court then change. Thanks for the heads-up on the infrequency though lol, you can probably guarantee that we'll get to the platform just as one goes past

Really looking forward to Saturday now

Reynard · « **Reply #23 on:** December 03, 2007, 14:21:32 PM »

Clare, take it you're going by tube once you've gotten into London proper? Victoria is it?

If so, you'll need to get to Earl's Court (easy, just a few stops) and then change for the District Line branch to Olympia. But be warned - these trains are only once every 15 minutes, so if you miss one, you'll have to hang around some.

clarenmax · « **Reply #22 on:** December 03, 2007, 09:49:56 AM »

Hope to get there close to opening time as well, I'm guessing there may be queues, and don't want the stalls to sell out of everything!

I need to take another look at directions etc, i.e. nearest station etc.

Reynard · « **Reply #21 on:** December 02, 2007, 21:45:56 PM »

I'm looking forward to the show now too, but of course a little nervous. Show paperwork came in the post...

Ann, I do some sourcing of stuff for the Ely stall - have managed to get some lovely fleece pet blankies to go with the toys.

We took some fleece blankies I'd sourced earlier in the year to the Supreme and they flew off the stall...

Ann Clarke (Tabby cat) · « **Reply #20 on:** December 02, 2007, 21:22:10 PM »

Should be there early as we are going down to London on Friday and staying overnight. Can't wait to meet up with peeps and will definately pay a visit to the Ely stall Witty - getting excited now

LeighK · « **Reply #19 on:** November 30, 2007, 16:15:40 PM »

Hi folks,

Thanks for the info Witty that's great, I'll be there close to opening time.

Cheers

Leigh

Dawn F · « **Reply #18 on:** November 30, 2007, 15:08:24 PM »

we are picking up oh goddaughter at about 10.30 and they live in holland park so we should be there by 11ish - looking forward to seeing you!

Reynard · « **Reply #17 on:** November 30, 2007, 15:04:24 PM »

Dawn, If it's early on during the day, I'll be lurking in the household pet section as per usual!

The show opens to the public at 10:30.

Leigh, yes you can buy tickets at the door - I did last year. Think the prepaid tickets are only £1 cheaper.

Don't forget to visit the World of Cats where you can get up close and personal with the different breeds on exhibition and I believe there will also be a demonstration of cat agility as well.

LeighK · « **Reply #16 on:** November 30, 2007, 10:51:45 AM »

Hi Dawn,

I'll probably be there quite early too, I've ordered my Purrs badge, would be great to meet up.

Cheers

Leigh

Witty, a quick question, went to their website and it occured to me to ask do you have to prepay ? or are tickets available on the door ?.

Dawn F · « **Reply #15 on:** November 30, 2007, 10:24:52 AM »

I'll come and find you Witty, I'm going fairly early so not sure who else I'll see but will look out for purrs badges!

Reynard · « **Reply #14 on:** November 29, 2007, 22:26:53 PM »

Leigh, I'm so looking forward to meeting you!

And Clare as well.

We'll have to find a time / place to meet up, but if you lurk around the household pets you're bound to bump into me at some point.

LeighK · « **Reply #13 on:** November 29, 2007, 09:15:54 AM »

Hi Witty,

Me!, me!, me!, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!, I'm going too, I'm going too, I'm also going to order my Purrs badge today and I'm much looking forward to meeting you all on the 8th.

Cheers

Leigh

PS. Did I mention that I'm going too ?

Edit : I have ordered my Purrs badge as well as one of those Turbo Scratcher thingies and a Wiggly Waggler so my lot are having a bit of a "toy fest" at the moment

Pocababs · « **Reply #12 on:** November 28, 2007, 22:41:47 PM »

I will *hopefully be going, I will keep a look out for people with Purrs badges even though i'm quite new here

I'm going as CP are having a get together for branches to celebrate the 80th anniversary. Hope I can meet some of you there.

Coolish! Ely & District CP will be there - some exhibiting cats and some working on the stall. On sale will be some super cat toys including furry tunnels, xmas toy stockings and catnip toys made with authentic and approved Toby's Organic Catnip.

I'm so looking forwards to meeting more purrs peeps!

Yup, me and Leigh K are planning to come along, be good to all meet up

My mate Tessa is also coming, she has an FIV cat too, so there will be 3 FIV owners in one go!

Hope you can make it Witty, will be great to finally meet you, might even be lucky enough to be allowed a little chin rub (that's your darling girl, not me of course)

Reynard · « **Reply #1 on:** November 27, 2007, 16:24:40 PM »

Just was wondering if anyone was planning on going to the National at Olympia on the 8th?

All being well (touch wood) I should be there, so do come and say hello. Will be wearing my Purrs badge.
