  • BTS Exhibition 2008 update

    Hi everyone, well the exhibition rapidly approaches and I wanted to give you a weekly update.

    This year we have acquired another hall that is as big as the sports hall last year. So we will have two huge halls packed full of goodies and the gym will be used for the annual lecture by our esteemed chairman, Andrew Smith. The gym will also be used for the competition as we felt last year the designated area was a liitle crowded. So get your entries ready. For a list of catergories visit the Exhibition page on the BTS site.
    We are keen to promote the hobbyist/breeder at this years exhibition and so if any of you guys wish to trade at the event then please contact me directly. A number of keepers have already got together and booked a few tables. So why not come along and move your surplus stock on. PM me for deatails.

    On a sadder note some of you may be subscribers to the Arachnophiles site and if you are you will konw about the recent tragic death of one of their own. A little lad known as "Johhny Boy". The BTS along with Arachnophiles have agreed to sponsor a memorial trophy at out annual exhibition. After discussion we have agreed to call it

    "The Best Newcomer to the hobby award: Under 16"

    This trophy will be awarded annually to a membership nominated person under 16 who has shown the most promise. Who knows they may even be a future commitee member. So if you feel that you know someone who fits the bill for this award this year then agian please PM me.
    I need to know. Name, age, what they keep and what they hope to acheive within the hobby. Please support this award as although we dont often all agree we all have the resolve to stand together when we need to.

    Every thing you need to know about the Exhibition is on our site:www.thebts.co.uk and if you need any more info then please just drop me a line.

    Best wishes and hope to see you all at the Exhibition.

    Hi Ray

    Silly question maybe but can you define how you mean with 'most promise'?
    Does the nominee have to be in the BTS?
    Does the nominee have to keep spiders?
    How new does new mean?

    All the best

      Must have been a really silly question after all.

        Sorry forgot to ask yet another silly question:-

        Is there any age limit for the nominee?

        Cheers anyway.

          16 or under, obviously fetuses and the newly born are not included before you ask!

          Cheers

            Ah Cheers Mark.

            Can you answer any of the other questions also? I only ask as I may have some people in mind yet I am unsure on the rules for this?

            Cheers

              Yes we would prefer BTS membership but this is not set in stone
              Most promise - Well is young, and is perhaps written an article or two and perhaps bred a few species.

              Well new as in they have really only just come on the scene, in the last few years...

              Yes they must keep tarantulas or related kin.

              Hope this helps
              Mark

                    And don't think by painting on some freckles and wearing a school boy uniform you can enter it yourself Mr. Sainsbury !!!

                        Scary yes indeed.

                        A right bit of fun it would have been too...... although, in hindsite for my post,i hope no-one sees this as disrespectfull to such a fitting tribute.

                        Knowing John, i'm sure with his sense of humour he would have thought half the BTS in school uniform as hilarious.

                          Damm foiled again. No seriously I only wanted to know a few more details because of a little lad I know who is extreamly intrested in spiders and tarantulas etc, but he is not allowed to keep them....yet (I am working on this). At the moment the parents are also thinking about letting him join the BTS (as he is only 9 permission is needed after all) but before letting him do so want see if it is just a passing fad or not, which I think makes sence to me at least. I think the tide is turning though as he has shown great interest for over a year now so.....

                          anyways no probs but I think I will keep him in mind for the future.
                          Cheers

                              Chris, over a years interest for a 9 year olds definitely more than a passing fad, i'd be inclined to encourage him as much as possible and Joining the BTS would be a grand idea for the young chap.
