Hello all
Does anyone know where the next National will be held ?.
I vaguely remeber someone saying Oxford area but I think it was just speculation or is it too early to have any details yet.
Must be a mammoth task as I know the Americans tend to have a 2 day event so must be less stressful as you have a slight rest ( unless you are the organiser of course(:P))

Hi all,
The 2008 National Show will be held in August at a venue in Godmanchester, near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
I believe that details will appear shortly in the Journal.

Hi, Tina.
CSSA main convention is 5 days every 2 years. With a big country if you gotta travel any distance best make it worth the effort.
