Burgess Excel Small Animal Show 2009
Proving to be the ideal tonic to any mid-winter blues, this year`s Burgess Excel small animal show www.burgesspetcare.co.uk at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate proved to be another super weekend event. With top Pr/Marketing officer for the burgess group www.burgessgroup.plc.uk Naomi Chatterley 
making her Southside debut, and Helen Noteyoung joining Becky Scofield 
, countryside expert Lew Bevan
www.rabbituk.com and managing editor Alex Lewczuk for her first location report, the range and quality of rabbits and other small animals on display proved to be quite awe-inspiring. 
Author of `Why Does my rabbit ? ` Dr. Anne McBride from the University of Southampton was a loquacious as ever and 
, with his latest batch of rabbits from Holland
, Lew Bevan was his usual inimitable font of knowledge
. Combining mainstream talks 
with the frisson of keen competition
led to an event which continues to enthrall and delight
, whatever species of animal you may be
. A full podcast special will be online very shortly

It was a brilliant day! great to meet Lew in person after hearing about him so much, it was so interesting talking to Lew and Anne, we had our own little tour and insight to the show and the world of small animal breeding.
A great event for my first outside correspondent show.
Thank you all!
