I've just fished loads out from my drawer and have a huge wedge of them. I've chucked them in the bin now and wondered what is the point in side class prize cards anyways and do any of you keep yours?

On Saturday I didn't bother to collect my side class rosettes as I don't really need them. I just wonder do you think they should be scrapped as a way for clubs to save money? If you have your open one and best of breed then that's all that matters.

Just a thought.

I am afraid I disagree with you.

Every single one of my rossettes are important to me. I keep all of mine and display them proudly in my kitchen.
What about those people who haven't placed in their open class but might place in all of their sides - would you like to deny them the opportunity to take home their cat/kittens rossettes.

If you think about it none of us NEED them but the majority of us are very proud of them so definately want them.

Do you keep the prize cards too?

I see what you mean but surely one day you'll have far too many? Esp the side class ones.

I guess then what they should do is keep to where you collect the side class ones yourself. Then that way you can not have them if you don't want. They can then keep them for the following year. Just thinking it could save them some cash and help keep entrance fees from rising.

hii agree totally with toby and darwin.
i had my first show on sat and was so proud all my rosettes on wall and there they will stay. 8 of them. i am one very proud mum. to throw them is awful

Some shows offer a cash reward instead of the rosette...I've kept Frankie's from when I showed her when she was a kitten

i think throwing them away is a disgrace IMHO, and for anyone new to showing im sure all the side class rossettes and cards mean so much, i know they did for me when i first started showing and still mean a lot to me now im proud of everyone that has been awarded to my cats/kittens.

The cash prizes are good but they don't seem to have them at most shows. Never mind.

I have framed the rosettes what mona won and i am going to get a plaque to say which show it was and the date.

Hi,

I used to keep all mine but I must admit the side class rosettes were disposed off before we came out here. I kept all the big ones though.
