Crufts 2006!

Now I know it's a tad early, but as you know I like to plan ahead!

Anyway next year I'm seriously considering attending Crufts (as a spectator obviously!) for the whole four days. Before I was only able to go on a coach tour for the Sunday and then miss BOS!! But now I have a half decent car and full RAC membership thanx to my bro I'm wanting to drive down and make it a nice long weekend!

On that note does anyone know of hotels/travelogdes/b&bs close to the nec that I could look at? Plus where I might get tickets from?

Cheers everyone!

Hi, i went to crufts this year and will be going again next year, i bought my tickets from the kennel clubs website, where you can also pre order a guide if you want one and safe abit of money compared to buying one at crufts But tickets dont go on sale until nearer the date

Ok thanks! Getting a bit ahead of myself I think!

BTW where did you stay?

And yes I am nosey!

I got the train there with some mates,so I slept at home but the last train left the nec arena just as the best in show finished so we were lucky to have caught it, if you are planning to stay for the best in show then you need the normal day tickets and then you have to pay extra for the best in show tickets, which we did and its was well worth it, we had front row seats so it was brill and when we got there people were offering us well above what we paid for our tickets as they were so good
Its ok i dont mind nosey people ask away

I have to say in all my doggy madness i am a Crufts virgin!!!!!!
never been, ever, althought this should change in 2006, depending on circumstances

ohh love crufts .....best dog show in the world I reckon

Thanks Natasha, you'll wish you never said that!
I definitely want to see BIS, can you get thoses on the Crufts website too?
Think I will have to stay, the Gundogs are on a Sunday so I could just go then.......but I really like the Sibes who are on the Thurs I think! Plus I like the Terrier group too!
Yeah might as well go the whole hog!

Luke you have got to go!!!!! It's just fab, so many dogs, competitions, stalls and so little time! It's a show unlike any other. Apart from the Great Dane dribbiling in my chips, that bit I wasn't keen on!

Are you going Inca?

yeap i'll be there on toy day .........a coffee perhaps ?

You mean Mr Pickles wont be strutting around the ring! *tuts*...lol
