BTS Show roll call

[andy hood]

ill be there first bts exhibition for me !!

[James Box]

i'm going! look for the shaved head guy with glasses, beard and probably a Lovecraftian themed shirt, speaking to Mary, Louise, Colin, Oli, or any number of great people.
will probably be around Martin Goss or Lee's tables, or making the rounds.

i'm mainly after millipedes and Heterometrus spinnifers. there may be others i'm tempted by, but going to keep the numbers and expenditure down this time.

[Peter Lacey]

I'll be there, nice and early, probably spending much of my time sitting with Peter Roach talking tubs and spids

For the right price I'll be seeking A. versicolor, C. cyaneopubescens, T. blondi, L. parahybana, P. formosa, P. metallica, juv RCF G. rosea, B. smithi ++++

I'm hoping to see my L. klugi again, courtesy of Mary's spider hotel and pick up a lovely Avic. Most of all I'm looking forward to meeting lots of people, chatting about aboreals, checking out the plethora of species available and coming back with more information than my head can possibly recount.

Mary, put me down for a couple of peru's and parahybana's plz.

Ok Peter, have done thanks, I am hoping they will be ready, peru's are still in sac lol.

[Peter Lacey]

woo hoo, thanks Mary.

I'm also looking for a G. pulchra and a C. crawshayi to replace the one I lost over the weekend :-/

[mary walters]

You should get them love. I want a C. sanderi to replace the one I killed last week, 3 inch span too, I could weep......

[Colin D Wilson]

This makes you sound like an ogre, sweetheart, which you're not !

"unfortunately died" would be better.

And I AM looking for one for you still round here.

Awww Colin thanks darlin.

Well everyone that knows me, also knows I am scared stiff of spiders. But, trying to be brave I repotted the sanderi, which leapt on to the floor, I never noticed in my panic if it hurt itself, but it had bled to death when I got in from work, so I unwittingly killed it.

[Rebecca Norris]

I'm going I'm after some Encyocratella olivacea hopefully! And hopefully a B. klaasi from Lou

[Andrew Ferguson]

Not this year I'm afraid but hopefully I'll be able to see some of you at Newark in December

[Nicola Dolby]

Shame you can't make it Andy, enjoy Newark! The spiders I'm after are pretty standard really; a Pokie here, a Brachy there. What I'd really like is a South African Blue Foot! Sadly they're not in the hobby yet. Not that I'm complaining about a Poecilotheria or 10, nor a few Brachys!

[Tracy Sherwood-Farnfield]

I am hoping to be there too! Hubby and a couple of friends in toe. We are staying with friends in Leamington that weekend and they have agreed to come along. We will probably be there in the morning (I have promised them a pub lunch as a reward afterwards).

I am hoping to aquire a second spider, not sure what yet, possibly a brachy of some description or a G pulcha. I am nearly there with convincing hubby that 2 vs. 1 makes very little difference!! His main concern is our hols in August when we go away for 16 days each year.... I shall come up with a plan.... Is there a registered list of 'spider-sitters' lol?

Please do come and say hello if you see us at the show (would love to meet you all) I shall be the very short lady with the very tall man (4'11 vs. 6'6)

you should come to the June 8th Newark show as well

I have a B. boehmei my wife is suggesting I sell as I have 2 of these. Its not far off a moult, nearly always on display, approx 4", doesn't like humid conditions and nicely coloured, very easy to look after. She decided to give a cricket a good blasting of hairs a while back but despite rumours I've not seen them kick hairs. I'm not sure how much its worth or whether I will sell tbh, but I could quite easily look after your Ts while you are on hols, I'm in Essex so not too far away and I may have another Essex meet in September so you could pick it up then if convenient. Alternatively I could let one of my B. albopilosum slings go.

Whatever, hopefully I'll bump into everyone.

[Chris Sainsbury]

I would say I was coming over but it would be a lie.
