Jane-away-from-home
This newsletter comes to you from America. Sadly it will never rise to the heights of Alistair Cooke’s wonderful radio broadcast, Letter from America, but it is a testament to technology. At least, it will be if I manage to get it out!
I’m over here doing research for my Ragdoll breed history hobby (my husband is here to do a US road trip, my dad is here to see the sights). Already I’ve visited Riverside in California where the breed was founded in the mid-1960s, and been able to visit with the man who was the main force behind getting the breed accepted by most the registries in the 1970s. Next (research) stop is the largest Ragdoll breed document and photo archive. Very exciting stuff for me, but now I need to get on to Palmerston North Cat Club’s business.

Burmese Show
Christine Yeung
The Burmese Cat Club of NZ (CR) would like to say a huge Thank You to the following people from the Palmerston North Cat Club for assisting with set up, work on the day, take down of the show and general support:
-- Denise Grace
-- Maryann Groat
-- Brittany Holden
-- Kath Johnston
-- Emma Kimberley
-- Margaret Morgan
-- Elsa Ross
-- Sheryll Sinclair
-- Christine Vincent
-- Jane Webster
AND to Julie Hanson for the delicious slices and beautifully decorated cupcakes donated for the kitchen too!
Your assistance was greatly appreciated considering most of you did not have cats entered on the day, and without your help the show would have not been the success that it was.

End of Year Awards
The Palmerston North Cat Club will be running end-of-year awards in conjunction with our end-of-year dinner.
Among other awards there are some for the ‘helpers’, making sure those who work at shows are recognised just as cats, owners, and breeders are. But this isn’t information we can get from the NZCF! We need people to let us know which shows they worked at so we can collate the information and give credit where it's due.
Please don’t be modest – let Christine know what help you’ve been giving clubs around the country this year.
