Committee Meeting – 19th January 2017
Denise Grace
- Resignation
The committee is very sorry to have received from Kerry Holden a letter of resignation from the committee, effective immediately, and accept her resignation with regret. Kerry has made a huge contribution to the committee and to the club in the time that she has been on the committee, notably as Show Secretary for our big 60th Anniversary Show and also as Entry Clerk and Show Secretary for last year's successful National show. Her input will be greatly missed but we wish her well in her future endeavours.

History Notes – 1980
I have often felt that the 1980s seem to be the most difficult decade to research in New Zealand cat fancy history – possibly because it’s not quite recent enough that people have items from that era still loitering around, but not distant enough that people feel they need to make a special effort to preserve items. Happily there are still copies of the 1980s Flash Cats magazine, and the September issue includes this show report.
