Reserved for Skipton Sheep Day

Council decided in (June) not to

hold a Skipton Sheep Day in 2008

But ... it was held on 5th July in 2009   This year with a nasty new virus being found

in the U.K the NFRS and Area clubs such as YRC decided not to hold any rat

shows during June, July and August 2009.

It was decided to hold the next YRC show  in September 2009 followed with one

in November if no problems issued from the late shows. We do hope the spread

of these viruses afflicting our pet rats has abated greatly. But meanwhile some

opportunities to carry on communicating with the public did go on ...

 

So this year the YRC owned Marquee was erected by the President on his own, as

a  most modest platform from which to ' meet the public ' as in previous years.

This entails chatting about the merits of keeping rats as pets and answering the

many and varied questions.  Handing out small Club info advert slips so anyone

later can look up on the web anything they wish to follow up.

   It is never a 'Rat Show  ' .  Just one man trying to keep pet rats in the minds of

the visitors !.  Spreading the good news that today's rats are great Pets !.
