Gala Dinner 2012 Update
I need definite numbers to arrange for, if we are going to have a 2012 GCCF Gala Dinner.
The proposed venue is Nailcote Hall, Nailcote Lane, Berkswell, Warwickshire which is in the Coventry area, for information and a little peak to see what’s on offer (very classy) please go onto the website, which is www.nailcotehall.co.uk
This is a Golf and Country Club with pool and gym facilities, steeped in history being the billet for Cromwell’s troops during the Civil War during the destruction of Kenilworth Castle.
There are a number of rooms available at the Nailcote Hall: these are premier rooms and are £95.00 single and £125.00 double, there are also potentially a small number of Superior rooms available, these are named rooms and very limited, some of these have four poster beds and there is a supplement payable for these and will on a first come first served basis.
There are for those who prefer other hotels in the area, others close enough to use including, Holiday Inn, Premier Inn and Travelodge, which will considerably cheaper.
The dinner is approximately £35 per person and a choice of menu will be available, with individual choices having to be selected at the latest a week before the event. I will supply more details when I have more idea of final numbers.

GCCF Gala Dinner 2012 (suggested date 31st March 2012)
If you are interested in attending another GCCF Dinner or wish to attend your first, please contact
John Hansson directly at hansson808@btinternet.com or telephone 01992 626 133 after 7.30pm, late calls until 11pm are perfectly acceptable.
If there is enough interest then it will go ahead, venue to be confirmed in the Midlands area, it will again be a quality venue and will be operated at covering cost basis only.
This is an opportunity to scrub up & put on your best bib & tucker and then let your hair down a little (or even a lot if you prefer).
Sadly this will conflict with some shows but it is impossible to avoid them all.
Notification if it is going to proceed will be put up on the website at the end of November.
Regards

Registration Query Process Revision
Queries on registrations requiring a judgement by the Executive Committee will in future be circulated to the Committee shortly after the query is raised. For example; the registering of a cat over two years old. The Executive Committee will then consider the matter outside the formal meeting process and record the judgement in the next meeting minutes. The change in this process has been proposed to speed up resolving queries that arise. Please note that the Executive Committee reserves the right to defer the matter to the next meeting without further explanation if it feels debate in the meeting forum is required. Please also note that when a registration query is requested to be taken to the Executive Committee for a judgement by the applicant, a charge of £15 will be made in advance to cover the costs of submitting this.

New printing/copying facilities at the GCCF office
The GCCF are pleased to announce that they have engaged SDS of Edington, Somerset as their supplier and maintainer of enhanced printing/copying/scanning facilities at the Bridgwater office. This will enable the GCCF to improve the quality and expand its range of printed materials. The scanning features will help the move to a more paperless operation in the office. This will all be done at lower cost than the previous contract. The cost to the GCCF has been further reduced by the very generous donation of £5000 towards the cost from a member of the Cat Fancy who wishes to remain anonymous. The Executive Committee wishes to publicly thank the person for their support of the GCCF as it moves forward with improving its services and hopes this will encourage others in the Cat Fancy to contribute in such a selfless way. Two of the previous GCCF Ricoh black and white photocopiers (AFICIO 1027 & 1018D) are available to any member of the cat fancy under certain terms. If you are interested please contact the office for details.
