Midland cat club show 2012

SillyMangoX

Hi there I was just wondering if anyone knows, is the midland cat club show on the 19th open to the public? I've never been to a show before so I don't know these things :P I couldn't find any information on the internet. I did find out that you can enter non pedigree cats! (too late for this year but I'm definitely entering mine next year )

I'd be grateful if anyone could let me know if it is open for public viewing/what times/what to expect

Yes, it's open to the public - I think there is a small entrance fee at the door.

And thank you for reminding me, as I'd forgotten about it!

Doors will open at 1230-1 pm. Prob closer to 1 tho as judging tends to get delayed. You pay a small fee at the door.
Best in show for each section will probably be moved to top pens by 4pm for best in show judging.
If you want to talk to breeders and exhibitors I recommend going earlier rather than later. :-)

Themadhouse

Are you interested in seeing particular breeds or just see them all?!
Most exhibitors will talk forever about their pets. Some will allow handling some wont. There will be a good few breeders there too. Flash photography is not permitted.

I'm interested in them all but really want to meet a Sphynx so I can show my mom they aren't freaky! I hope if there are some exhibitors there they will let me rub them, I don't mind too much though :P

Im hoping to get into showing in a few years time for both cats and/or dogs so want to go and get the feel of the place, its just handy there is one local to me as they are usually in Leinster!

Too far for me to travel and I'm working. It's a pity as I would have liked to have gone.

There seems to be more shows on through the year in Dublin I think, im on my phone now so I cant check.for certain but if you go on sabcci.com it should give the dates!:)

Zapperzy

Dublin still too far away too. On that website it lists only 4 shows for 2012, the one in limerick, the one in dublin and 2 others with no details announced yet. Ah well I might get going to a few some day.

Themadhouse

There's one in cork later in the yr or if you are up for going north Lisburn, Bangor and one in ballyclare first weekend in march.
There should be some sphynx there and you should be able to get a feel of one. It changes people perception of them immediately once you feel the softness and get some spyhnx love! They are adorable!

There will be Sphynx at the Midland show and I'm certain you'll be able to able to get a cuddle

Themadhouse

I'm first in the q!!

SillyMangoX

After me Madhouse!! I'm very much looking forward to meeting the Sphynx been sick for the past week so its giving me something to cheer me up :P

I was just wondering are there people there selling goods? I was at the pet expo and there were stands selling vet bed and grooming products etc, just wondering would that kind of stuff be there? Might pick up a pressie for my moggies if there is

Danes

Sorry I didn't see that last question about stuff for sale but you've seen for yourself what's available at the show to buy.

I hope you had a really good day at the show, it was great to meet you and your Mam.
