My thanks to Pam and Committee for inviting me to judge once again. It was good once again to have Barbara Fellows as my steward. Many thanks Barbara for your company - I enjoyed my day.

ORIENTAL

Grand Premier Male

GR PR Wooller’s GR CH & SUP GR PR CHELANCA LORD GYLLENE 43bs
A most attractive exhibit. Large ears of correct shape and set. Excellent top of head. Excellent profile. Chin very weak. Cheeks rather lacking in substance. Eyes of excellent shape and set, fairly good colour. Body of excellent type, BUT I thought he seemed rather small and tired today. Tail short for balance. Excellent coat length and texture. Good chocolate shading on a rather dull silver ground. Some tarnishing to face and legs. A lovely exhibit and as always a pleasure to handle.

2 Brynes' PR WESTGARTH BLUEBERRY ICE 37a
Ears of fair set. Skull very flat with a resultant angular profile. Fair lines to wedge. Eyes rather full and showing raised haws, colour appeared to be yellow. Very good body type with a good length tail. Paws rather large. Coat of fair length and texture, very dark in colour and two toned.

Grand Premier Female

GR PR Stafford's GD CH & PR HEYBURY OPRAWINFRY 37
An attractive female of good oriental type. Good head type. Ears of excellent shape, well set. Skull rather flat and uneven. Muzzle just a little pinched. Excellent eye shape and set. Elegant body type of pleasing Oriental type. Tail a little short and thick at the tip. This cat has the most excellent coat length and texture, and is dense black to roots. Excellent temperament and condition.

Tortie Adult Female

Clegg's SHOWBIZ GELCUNE MIXEDSPICE. Unfortunately I was unable to handle this very attractive looking female. She was either very hungry, or really didn't want to know me!
