Bloody hells bells :eek: & there was me moaning about the rain yesterday,I hope everyone & their dogs are ok & they've had a safe journey home :luck:
 
I went to Blackpool today, as we were leaving they were annoucing the following.

IF YOU HAVE FINISHED EXHIBITING WOULD YOU KINDLY PLEASE LEAVE THE SHOWGROUND.

That was about 11.30, i was very frightening !

There were tractors holding down most of the tents !!! It was horrific

WHOOPS :oops: :oops:
 
Gosh, thats sounds so awful. Thought it was bad enought here.
 
Little Hannah was stewarding Rottie's today and had gone into the catering tent with her mum Kathryn as they had been told it was the big tent that was the danger, they were both in it when it went :( both luckily escaped out through the sides unhurt but were obviously very shaken :sweating:

hopefully the people injured in there are ok :luck: :luck: :luck:
 
How awful for Hannah & everyone involved, I do hope that everyone is OK now, what a mess
 
I've seen it said that some Boxer people only got out of their wet weather tent because they heard the anouncement on the tannoy. People who were still in the SYB class said that the judge finished going over all the dogs but then a steward came running in telling them to abandon and evacuate the class so no one got placed. All those had not heard the tannoy announcement because of the noise.

Whilst people were packing up the back of the tent and all the ropes with the massive bolts ripped up and one side and roof ripped up. There were people throwing themselves over loved ones, & their boxers petrified.

I should imagine that there will be many dogs that went today that never show again. I've been told of Great Danes being taken off their feet and Newfs too.

There are people with scalding injuries from the catering tent.

All in all a nightmare for all involved there today.

Blimey this doesn't bear thinking about, much worse than I had first thought. I really do hope people and dogs are recovering. I feel you could be right with your sentence on some dogs will probably never show again but the main thing is fingers crossed all are well.
 
:( don't think i'll whinge about a bit of rain again,

Kath was trying to make light of it by telling me that she'd managed to keep hold of her chips as she escaped from under the collapsed tent :clown: but i could tell from her voice she was actually really shaken, she'd lost sight of hannah at one point for a few seconds in the chaos, i think it was that that scared her most :(

hope the people with the scalding are ok
