5 October 2021 Notice to all Show Managers:
The decision made at the July Council meeting to allow exhibitors of titled cats a choice of classes can now be implemented as the GCCF’s procedures and systems have been updated. An exhibitor may choose to enter: either the class for the title their cat is working towards or the class for the title the cat has already achieved.
This is now operative for all shows who have not yet published their schedules, and it should be made clear within your schedule (using bold lettering) so that exhibitors are aware of the change.
SUFFOLK BREED – CHANGE OF SECTION
The Suffolk BAC has accepted an offer from the Board to transfer from Section 6 Grand Group A to Section 5 Grand Group B.
This will be effective for shows taking place after 1 January 2020.
