I have just had an email back from GCCF - I notified them I would be entering my Bengal in a TICA show and this is the response I got.

We acknowledge with thanks receipt of your notification regarding non-GCCF shows. Section 4 Rule 1c (effective 1st November 2006) of the GCCF Rules allows GCCF registered pedigree cats to be exhibited at non-GCCF licensed shows after prior notification to the GCCF office. Such notifications should contain the registered names and numbers of the cats to be exhibited and the names and dates of the shows in which those cats have been entered together with your name and address. All notifications are checked, and held on file.

You are expected to have complied with the '13 day' rule as usual, as that rule is for the protection of your own cats and, under Section 6 Rule 2, you must notify the Office if any of your cats are rejected for veterinary reasons from the non-GCCF licensed show, within 3 working days of the closure of the show, with all the details.

So as far as I can see they will still expect you to comply with the 13 day rule regardless of whether TICA mind. So if I was to show with TICA first then the next weekend with GCCF then the GCCF would penalise me for breaking the rule and vice versa as they will know when I have shown with TICA as I have to notify them.

So I am just going to leave it now.
I have entered Darwin into the TICA one in January as I intended and will just have to wait until Feb to show Rosie again - I had only wanted to do it sooner so she stays used to it but I am sure she will be fine.

Thanks for all the helpful info guys
