Patricia W Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Continuing on the theme of what has been lost from the Forum, we had a thread about meeting up, interesting events etc. I’ve just discovered that the Reading Bantam Show is on in Newbury on 23/24 th February. I’m aiming to go if anyone else is interested? I could do either day. I think the Sunday was good from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Reading is a great show, we used to go every year! Sunday is much more chilled as all judging has been done so exhibitors are more relaxed if you want to speak to breed clubs to source eggs or birds ...and the sales pens will probably be cheaper. I won't be able to get back as I start my penultimate rotation block but hopefully get to more shows next year when I'll be back home!

The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Damn, I have a course on that weekend Mind you, I don't need any stock and that's usually the only reason for going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Haha, bet that you load your chicken box in the car!!!! Last time I went we were filming, but I ended up spending quite a bit on some lovely new birds. You know how it is...................

Patricia W Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 The thing I remember about it is the noise! All those cockerels crowing at once..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm200 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I’d love to go one year but this isn’t it. Not up to it at the moment. Maybe next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 My favourite memory of Reading is a Call Duck being photographed that took flight across the hall and Paco a Spanish friend caught it perfectly mid-air 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yep, will have to miss it this year. Did enjoy though. Ooh that'll be the first one in years that I missed! Apart from the lock down. Post the pics when you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
