Kernow Cat Club

6th April 2002


This was my first judging engagement for the Club - my thanks to Show Manager Maureen Whatty and the Committee for inviting me. The show hall is ideal for cat shows and has, from the Judge's point of view, the most perfect overhead natural day light - though some exhibitors may have wished the lighting was not quite so good! The long journey from the North Wales coast to the South Devon coast in glorious sunshine was most enjoyable..... my thanks to Mark for stewarding for me and doing most of the driving!
