Januray 2012 Newsletter On behalf of the committee of the British Shorthair Cat Club we hope you had a great Christmas and have a very prosperous 2012. 2011 has been an eventful year for the club. We have now joined modern times by having our own Facebook page that has had to date 334 friends join from across the globe. We have joined forces with Langford Veterinary Services to offer our members a 20% discount on genetic tests. We have launched our “Cat of the Year Competition” sponsored by Arden Grange Pet Foods. We have also worked very hard to raise some extra funds for the club in 2011 by introducing the Club Calendar, which was co-ordinated by Dot Parry. Along with the hand made cat toys Dot made, the club raised £512.55. The British Shorthair Cat Club currently has 252 members. On that note, it is of course that time of year to renew your membership. Please ignore this part if you have already paid your subs. We have held the fees at the same rates again, Joint £8, Single £5 and Junior £2.50. You can either send a cheque payable to BSHCC to Mr A Brown, The Cottage, 53 Main Street, New Eastwood, Notts, NG16 3JJ or if you use online banking you can send your subs. Please email me for the banking details. If you pay via online banking please remember to put your name on as a reference send me an email at bshctclub@hotmail.co.uk so I can confirm when your subs have arrived. Please could you also let me if you do not wish to renew your membership. Our Annual Championship Show was a success this year with a total entry of 72. It is with great sadness that our Show Manager, Mary Le Monnier has decided to hand over the reins. It is amazing that Mary has managed to successfully manage the show for 8 years. What is more amazing is that Mary has done all this from her home in Jersey and then coming across for the show weekend. The 2012 show will be a big event for us. Our new show management team; Barbara and Stuart McEwen will take the show forward jointly with the Yorkshire County Cat Club. The date to mark in your diaries is October 27th. Due to health issues we are sad to report that our Secretary, Stephen McConnell has resigned from his post. We all would like to thank him for all of the hard work he has put in. Stephen had re-written the club rules and compiled the “Brief History & General Standard” leaflet for the club. He also successfully negotiated the formation of a joint Championship Show with Yorkshire County Cat Club in 2012. We would like to take this opportunity to wish him well for the future and hopefully see him back judging soon. Daniel Goodricke is now the Acting Club Secretary. Andrew Brown Hon. Treasurer
