MANCHESTER & DISTRICT CAT CLUB (Sanction Show)
3rd May 2004
John S
Harrison
My thanks to Dorothy Tomlinson and the Committee for
inviting me to judge at the Club's third sanction show which is now firmly
established in the show calendar. The show has a very different style and
atmosphere to those first Exemption shows held in the beautiful old Stockport
Town Hall, these were shows which are fondly remembered by those of us who
participated. Time must move on I suppose. The new venue is certainly more
suited to a larger show and I look forward to the first championship show next
year.

BEANNOCHT WAUGHCRIE BABY 72 45bq
What a superb exhibit! Excellent Asian

This lovely mature female
still retains overall good Oriental type. Ears very good shape, set and size..
Good lines to wedge. Good profile overall though showing slight dip. Good chin
line. Eyes good set, just a little full, colour very poor green. Very good body
type. Excellent coat length and texture. Excellent red shading on superb clear
silver ground, showing minimal markings. A delightful old lady.
AC
Bi-Colour Ragdoll Adult
1 Allen's RAGALYN MISSISSIPY 66 31
Unfortunately I was unable to handle this 9 month old female; she was
certainly in a strop! Rather small for her age and needing to do a lot of
growing. Ears very good size and set. Good profile, good muzzle with good cheek
development. She did look to be of very good type but that's of little use if
the cat won't be handled. I hope that it was a temporary tantrum.

Oriental Longhair Neuter
1 & BoB Webb's APRIKAT SHADOWSINTHESKY 62 20
A large young male
of excellent Oriental type. Ears large, correct shape and very well set. Top of
head just a little flat, though this does not detract from an otherwise
excellent profile. Excellent lines to wedge. Excellent firm chin. Excellent eye
shape and set. Excellent long neck. Excellent body type with balanced legs and
tail. Coat of excellent texture, but far too short, apart from his tail he
looked like an OSH. If his coat comes in this chap will be a stunner. A most
delightful young man shown in excellent condition, though he knows he really is
a superior chap! Excellent temperament. A real pleasure to handle.
