The Aristocats Club Newsletter

Issue 2

August 1st 2004

Hello All!

For the purpose of this issue it is set out once again in text format but hopefully for future issues the job of editing and producing the Newsletter will be passed on to a willing volunteer

Membership

The Aristocats Clubs membership is building up nicely. We have had nearly 100 members join in the first six months, this has resulted in increasing your clubs votes to 3 in the 'right to vote' formula at the Felis Britannica Annual General Assembly. In order for us to reach the next level (4 votes) we need to have a membership of 150 plus, based on the membership rate to date, this is more than achievable by the end of the year so give yourselves a pat on the back and keep spreading the word and if you have any friends that you think may like to join, let them know about us.

Registrations

Our members registrations and validations are being given a really quick turn-around by Rose our Pedigree checker. All have been checked and sent to Felis Britannica's registration department to process on the central data base, and produce the new pedigrees. Felis Britannica is doing a marvellous job when you consider the mistakes that were made on the pedigrees and the corrections that have resulted, also the backlog and build-up that was left after the demise of the CA.

Aristocats Club Shows

We had our first show this year at Thornbury Bristol. The feedback I received was all extremely positive, everybody enjoyed themselves and no major hiccups. There were 170 cats entered which is a very respectable entry. Our next show is to be held at the Five Rivers Leisure Centre, Salisbury on October 31st 2004 so we are looking forward to another good show there. The first ever FIFe cat show to be held in Salisbury so we are looking for a good turn-out. It is Halloween so we are holding a ‘Black Cat Special’, if you have a black cat make sure you enter it. If there are any members who would like to volunteer their help in this show, it would be received with gratitude. We desperately need people to be involved in stewarding, we also need someone to sell the raffle tickets and someone on the gate, help with the secretariat etc.
