CHINformative at The London Pet Show (Olympia)

The London Pet Show​

CHINformative (run by myself & Debbie) have the privilege of being invited to participate in The London Pet Show which is to be held in the National Hall at Olympia, London on Sat 7th - Sun 8th May 2011.
This is a fantastic opportunity & is something Debbie & I have wanted to do for a long time - to provide education about chinchillas as pets to the wider public.
We will be taking along some friendly chinchillas so that people can experience these wonderful creatures up close & personal. Our aim is to promote all aspects of responsible chinchilla ownership (as we do on the CHINormative forum).
We have been given stand SF5 in the "Discover Small Furries" section of the event.

Burgess are sponsoring the section & a discount of 30% off the ticket price is available through their FaceBook link: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=177675178935646


This is an exciting new venture for us & I have to say, I am really looking forward to the challenge - it's been a few weeks of hard work so far getting prepared & it's a bit of a daunting prospect realising we're going to Olympia ( ) but I'm excited. We have the opportunity to do something we really love - chatting chinchillas to anyone who is interested in them - so it should be great fun as well as very tiring.
Please do come along & support us if you can - we'd love to see some of you at the show.
