Late Newsletter, NZCF AGM, Volunteers
Yet another newsletter begins with an apology for its tardiness - in this case the June newsletter looks like it won't be out until July. All my own fault, on this occasion, as I got home on the 18th June - just in time to attend the NZCF AGM in Wellington. I went down from here on the bus on Friday afternoon - rather luckily as it turned out since Saturday morning's conversation over breakfast and as we gathered to start the AGM was all about the four attendees from Palmerston North who could not get through because of the bridge being undermined by the flooding.
Of course, at the AGM I discovered I had gained another job - a three-year term on the Executive Council. I'm very excited to have been elected and looking forward to my time as the BSAC portfolio manager, but would also be interested in hearing from anybody who would like to take over the club newsletter from me. It's not a huge job and I can certainly keep doing it if nobody is interested, but if there is somebody who would like to have a go at putting out a monthly newsletter for the club then now would be a great time to volunteer your services to the committee.

History Notes – 1961
The photo isn't great as it is from a microfilm of a newspaper and was in the Manawatu Evening Standard (as it was then) on 30 May 1961. I haven't yet found any catalogues from the 1961 show so this at least tells us who one of the judges was. The caption read:
Mr. H.L. Arthur, of Hamilton, is shown with his "pink" cat. Although the cat is not the pink one imagines it to be, it has a faint tinge of the colour in the fur. The cat is the first cameo persian to be bred in New Zealand and in the Southern Hemisphere and is seven and a half months old. Mr Arthur has been breeding cats of a specialised type for the past 10 to 12 years and he has 22 adult cats and about nine kittens. He was a judge in the cat show held in Palmerston North.
