My goal for sunday is to find out more information about it and see if this is somerhing thats coming for FCI Europe aswell?

With sore feets and tired brains we went back to the hotel for a quick shower and change of clothes and then it was time for the Groomer Party 😎

The dinner&party have a tradition where Kitty the organiser reads out all the countries thats represented at Groomania- 34 different countries this year!!  The the country that makes the most noice wins the “competition”.
I had to scream a lot as I was the only one from Ireland😂https://youtu.be/c_HwI1qgpxI

After a lot of dancing the 3 middle aged groomers made our way back to the hotel with aching feets, knees and hips after all the dancing for some sleep to prepare us for day 2 😴😴
