Show Manager's Report below

HOT COMPETITION !

The hottest day of the year was an appropriate day for the hot competition at the 22nd Championship Show of the Abyssinian Cat Club in Stratford Upon Avon on 18th June. 

Entries were up on recent years. Thank you to everyone who supported us by entering a cat. They all looked beautiful. We were proud to be one of the first shows ever to offer Imperial Grand Challenge and Imperial Grand Premier certificates – for both Abyssinians and Somalis.

Thank you to Tim and Sue for vetting in again this year – it’s always good to see you. The day ran very smoothly thanks to my hardworking committee and volunteers. The judges had a busy day – especially Mrs Anderson (I did contemplate binding her Judge’s Book in two volumes !) – but all the results arrived steadily at the table where Helen Parkin and team processed them efficiently. This meant we could start overall Best In Show at 3.30pm and give the winners time to enjoy their success.

Many thanks to Joye Jones and her team for working tirelessly to produce a wonderful lunch and to produce so many breakfasts and teas for the exhibitors.

Many thanks (again this year) to Eileen, Mike, Rob and Welly for the amazing raffle – it was another record breaker.  Special thanks to David and Lois, Cheryl and Gerald, Norman, Carole, Shirley, Sue, Eric, Kay, Ron and Barbara for all their help. Thank you to Pat and Rob for the smooth running of the trophy awards.

Congratulations to all the winners. We hope to return to the Parish Centre next year (Saturday 17th June 2006) subject to availability and GGCF permission.
