Suffolk & Norfolk Cat Club Show

Grace Denny

16th May 2009

Once again our team of show managers, namely Mrs Helen Marriott Power, Mr Sean Farrell and Mrs Sue Barrett presented a unique event, introducing yet another theme – ‘The Aritsocats’ for which many entered into the spirit of the occasion, the work, thoughts and originality put into the organisation of such a show leaves me utterly amazed and astounded, the set up for Best of Variety and Overall Best in Show was indeed spectacular and by the ovation received proved its popularity from both exhibitors and visitors alike.

The tiered seating for viewing the whole performance was also much appreciated, it is difficult for me to find suitable words to express my admiration enough, to thank Helen, Sean and Sue for their outstanding ability and loyalty in presenting such an occasion for SNCC. Already their thoughts as to next year’s theme are in operation and I am certain will be even more exciting.

My appreciation and thanks also go to Dr Kim Cutter, the top all round judge in Cape Town, South Africa, a breeder of Burmese and responsible for both their club and show for travelling especially to perform the duties and judging the overall Best in Show which indeed was an added bonus and made for the ‘Grand Final’. I also thank Irene Roos for her valuable assistance to the end of a busy day.

The SNCC are most proud to have such a team of valuable Show Managers and we look forward to the next time.
