The YRC pride themselves in being a friendly, welcoming club and if you can reach Leeds with your pet rats, you are very welcome to come along to our regular bi monthly shows and meetings and mingle with other people who are mad about rats. Alternatively come and see us at our other venues across Yorkshire in the summer... this year (2010) we'll be in Northallerton, Bridlington, Bingley and Rotherham. Even if you can't make it to all, or any, shows you can still take an active part in the club via the magazine, Starats, the members forum and accessing the website for all the latest news and views.
Members receive a copy of the current club rules, a copy of the NFRS Varieties Standards, Starats (The club glossy journal) 6 times a year, reduced entry fees at shows and access to our lively and informative members forum.
