THE SHROPSHIRE CAT CLUB SHOW – 06.02.2010 Show Report – Mary Kalal

As always I enjoyed my day at this well run show and would like to congratulate Janet and her team on their success and thank all concerned for the kind invitation and warm hospitality. Many thanks also to Val Kaye for her good company and care for the cats and me during a busy day and I look forward to the next time.
