Hi Kalvin,

There seems to be more and more people from the Uk joining this board. I am from Surrey too (Hampton Court). Where are you from?

[Kalvin]

I'm just round the corner (literally!) in Molesey. :)

[melster122]

Actually I am in Molesey too. Normally nobody knows where that is so I always say Hampton Court because they have heard of the palace!!!!

[Kalvin]

East or West Molesey? I'm West ;) And I know what you mean about no-one knowing where it is, usually end up saying between walton and hampton court.

[melster122]

We are West too!!!! This is such a coincidence.

[Kalvin]

It'll probably turn out we're neighbours or something, lol. There's a bird show in Staines tomorrow, the Staines and District CBS is trying to get up and running again so if you have a minute spare the support would be very welcome, I can send the details if you're interested. It pormises to be quite good even though it's just starting up again.

Oh how funny. See!!! Another instance where the Birdboad brought together long lost neighbors. :aiwebs_01
Glad to have the both of you here

I would love to go but my son has gastric flu at the moment so I will have to see how he is in the morning . Where abouts in Staines is it? I used to work in Egham so I know the area quite well? What time does it start?

I am a relatively new bird owner so would love to meet up with experienced people. We have had Worple our Senegal since October and he is absolutely great.

Doors open for entrants at around 7 (thats only if you're showing) and close at 4pm, it's at the Scout Hut on the Ashford Road, just down the side of where Bendy toys was. If you can't make it there's a monthly meeting at the church hall near west end pond with the Walton, hersham and easher district CBS thats always good fun. :)
