Re: Cat Show Expense
You've got it exactly Kaz We do take 3 or 4 cats to a show(FIFe) and no it's not cheap, but we enjoy it and the social side is great too. I am now on the Commitee of our club, but even before this we, as a family, helped out setting up the night before, making sure pen numbers were right ect.....all voluntary I might add. The only privelidge is, we get to put our pen drapes up the night before, so it's one less job on the day. On the day my 2 children, one who has Asperger Syndrome, along with a couple more, help on the door, cleaning pens for the judges and for the Best in Show, they love doing this and have made good friendships, as we Mams & dads say, they are the future of the shows and our breeds whichever we may have I help Steward & on the club table too. We are always asking for extra help, even from fellow club members, sadly not many will volunteer, but they're usually the first to complain when something is'nt right or which has happened a few times a show has to be cancelled!!
