Show 23Our 23rd show was held on 18 August 2013 at the old Cape Hunt & Polo Club, Durbanville Racecourse. A beautiful setting on a bright day - a welcome respite from the severe Cape winter weather. This venue proved to be a success, with easy access, lots of parking and lots of natural light for the judges. The variety of birds and activities outside the large windows kept the cats entertained during judging.
The show was a great success and we had quite a few visitors. This was one of the largest shows in the Western Cape this year, with 125 cats in the catalogue. It was delightful to meet some of our exhibitors and exhibits who took a break of several years from showing. We were privileged to have several SACC and WCF judges, as well as two International All Breeds Judges officiating at the show. Janis Christison form Australia and Eduard Borras from Spain did a sterling job and their expertise and professionalism were appreciated by the exhibitors. The show was followed by a CASA show later in the day, in the same hall. This was our first Sunday show and the experiment proved to be successful. On the Saturday, the All Breeds Cat Club staged a successful SACC show in the same hall. The Cape Town exhibitors thoroughly enjoyed a first time experience of three shows in one weekend. Lots of excitement and lots of enjoyment indeed. Hills and Cats Best sponsored the prizes. The generosity of both companies were appreciated by all the winners. All the categories were well represented and the 8 judges all enjoyed their day. The general quality was high, while there was a good representation of many breeds. One of the highlights of the show was a litter of 10 Maine Coon Kittens. This must be a first for any show in South Africa. Thanks to all who helped to make this event a successful and enjoyable experience. |
