Club President

On behalf of the members of the Palmerston North Cat Club Inc, the committee wishes to thank Denise Grace for her dedication and service as our president.  We hope we can look forward to welcoming her back on the committee in the future.

Denise’s resignation from the presidency and committee has meant that our vice-president, Mushfik Yeung, is in charge until the AGM in February.

Get Those 2013 Calendars Ready

We seem to have a lot of things piling up ready to be noted on the 2013 calendars and in 2013 diaries.  The Palmerston North Cat Club get together and awards in January, our AGM in February, the combined show in March, the NZCF AGM in April, our show in May, and the National in June.

And all that’s before you start pencilling in those shows you want to attend during the season!

Welcome to a new member from the Bulls area.  Eugina is just starting out with the cat fancy so I hope we’ll be of some use to her as she gets to know her way around.

A Reminder to the ‘Helpers’

For the Palmerston North Cat Club’s annual awards we need people to tell us which shows they have worked at during the year 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 in 2012.
