The Northern Region of the National Chinchilla society held its Annual General Meeting on Sunday 24th April 2005 at Birdwell Community Centre. Many subjects of interest to the region were discussed including promotion of shows. It was decided that  as using Birdwell Community Centre as a central venue for Northern shows had been so successful last season we would do the same again for the 2005-2006 season.
Four shows have been arranged for the coming season and the dates are as follows.

Sunday 17st September 2003
Sunday 5th November 2003
Sunday 10th December  2003
Sunday 5th February 2004

The 10th December Show to be another `Christmas Special` after the success of last years event.

Judges were also provisionally chosen and will be confirmed at a later date.

The elected committee for 2005-2006 are;

Chairman Mr Eddie Crutchley
Vice chairman Mr Gary Carter
Secretary/Treas. Mr Paul Spooner
 Show Manager Mrs Sue Nelson

 -Interested in higher multi-level cages? No problem! All the cages listed on our cage page are available in double or even triple height. Its easy to work out prices too, double height are double price and double carriage cost. Example 36"long x 18" wide x 24" high. costs £59-00. plus £20-00 delivery. So a cage 36" long x 18" wide x 48" high would cost £130-00 plus £35 delivery. 
This cage would have two levels with a wire floor between and a ramp leading up to the second level, two wood shelves in each level and doors in each level, with our usual built in hayrack and bottle protector plus slide in tray.- - - -
- - - - - - - - - I receive many calls and messages about digestive and possible vitamin deficiency problems with chinchillas,   Many of these chinchillas are being fed on a `mix` instead of the usual chinchilla pellets. The mix is being fed to animals experiencing health problems far too often for it to be coincidence. We always recommend good quality chinchilla pellets for the basic diet. The problem with a mix for chinchillas is that they tend to select the tasty bits and leave the rest so they are not getting a balanced diet. This cannot of course happen with the pellets. - - - - - - - - -
