The GCCF Supreme Show 21.11.2009 Show Report – Mary Kalal

Congratulations to Celia Leighton and the Show Committee for a super and well run show with a great atmosphere, it was obvious to me that all the hard work and commitment had paid off. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and it was good to be back. We were in Shirley Talboy’s ring and I would like to thank Shirley and her team for their help and expertise on a busy day. Once again I had my super team of Fliss, Trevor and Yvonne, there were some lovely cats to handle and judge and Best of Breed was finally awarded to UK & IGR CH & PR COONTASTIC RAFAELLA, she is superb, congratulations to her owner and breeder.
