I learnt quite quickly that it is sometimes handy to keep a camping chair in the car!
Can’t be without a good chair! A great tip there Claire. Thank you for sharing.
Great blog by the way, wish I’d known about it before my first show!
Thank you. I hope you have found some useful information from the blog for future shows.
Best of luck in your showing.
Pens for marking up yr catalogue
Hairspray for yourself, if you use it
Toilet or baby wipes ! Times I’ve gone into Wc and no loo roll!
I always take a cleaning spray and cloths and kitchen roll – just in case dog has accident or mess or sick
Good call on pens! Great addition or two to a show bag.
As are some extra tissues.
