| A reminder to everyone to get their entries in as soon as possible for our Pearl Anniversary show. Don't forget, entries close on May 28th and we'd like to see as many of your Abys as possible - whether he/she be pet or show quality. Please check the schedule, talk to the Show Manager if you're wondering how to set about it - pet Abys are just as welcome as show cats and there will be someone at the show on show day to help you. Don't forget, first, second or third, you always take the best cat home! It's a fun day out with lots of Aby enthusiasts to talk to. |

The highlight of the year is our Show, held annually in
Stratford-upon-Avon. It is a celebration of the Abyssinian
Breed and our semi-longhaired cousins the Somali, and is an ideal
place to meet Aby enthusiasts and breeders from all over the
country.
We run information tables at some other
GCCF championship shows, to provide a
meeting point for Club members and information for potential Aby owners, and perhaps even a
little profit for the Club's coffers.
Our Club magazine, Papyrus, is distributed twice a year to members, and is full of lively and
interesting stories about Abys as well as information and advice.
The Club also participates in the Abyssinian Breed Advisory
Committee, which is responsible for
setting the Standard of Points and recommending judges for appointment to the
GCCF.
