I want to thank Ed Irving and Michael Kavanagh to have me back for the 3rd time. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and for sure one of the reasons was my wonderful steward Sue Danks who was so patient to answer my questions about the show rules over and over again and was really brave with some of the exhibits. The hospitality of the club, the nice hotel, the friendly exhibitors and some really exquisite cats will make this weekend a memorable one.
