Suggestion for a new added Forum in here?

Mods, (or whoever is in charge), would it be a good idea to create a new Forum to add in here - specifically a "Cat Show" one? Could be a subdivision of the Breeder's Forum if you want.

But then we could post both upcoming show announcements for those interested in seeing a close by show and post your show results (with pics) too

Anyone else like the idea of a separate Cat Show Forum?

Yes, I think it sounds like a good idea.

I will bring this up with Anne & the other mod's and see what they say

Sounds good to me - especially now that the breeder's section has more members dropping in and now that we have more show people too!

I like the idea

Would be interesting

I would love it. To see and hear more about these champions.
And i would love to start going to shows.just don't know how to find them.

Yeah that sounds like a great idea, and would love to see show piccies, etc. The only thing I would warn about is under UK gccf rules you are not allowed to adverise which show you will be entering. Simply because there may be judges that get to know this info. The rule is you can be banned from a show if it is found out that you have publicly (spelling?) advertised your entry. So after show news would be brill. Don't know if its the same with other associations?

Yep I think that idea sounds good

Putting in my vote! I think it's a great idea.

This is still being discussed. I will let you know as soon as a decision has been made

Not that it makes a difference, but just in case it's being considered by number of people in favor.... I'd really like a forum for that!

I think its a great idea too!

I read that was the case with GCCF, but as far as I know none of the other show registries have that restriction.

I vote for it too, would be nice to know what shows are going on with our members attending and/or showing.

Plus you would find out a local show to attend just to meet the cats/owners

I wonder, does GCCF monitor boards like this?

I think it is a great idea. I love looking at the pics after the show.

This sounds like it would be a great forum. I have a hard time with being able to find were shows are and when. I bearly have time to come here AND check emails. I never have time to look for an upcoming show and always miss them. If I was to see a show date close enough to me with enough time to enter, I would be able )hopefully) to attend and show my kittens at shows.

You know you can bookmark the home pages of CFA, ACFA, and TICA and check the show calendars

While I get flyers at the shows, most are those I'm not gonna attend cause they are too far from me for travel. But I do check CFA/ACFA and make out a future list of the shows I do want to attend, then make a note to check about 2 months prior for flyer and info.

Well I guess I could do that couldn't I?
I am alittle slow here

I like the idea, it comes at a nice time. My husband is showing Koda Bear, Blue Mitted Ragdoll in kitten division again. Thunderkatz is hosting the annual OKC TICA show. I am still on bed rest, so this will be my husband's first time showing on his own, but I know he will do fine, and I think 3 ladies, have already, stepped in line to help him, should he need it.
Here are pictures of our big boy at 4 months http://www.familytimerags.com/koda.html This will take you to a link of a few pictures. He is just now 6 months old. He has a few shows coming up, and of course we are looking forward to how he does in adult division.

CFA vote is coming up, I am not sure the date, but the vote to allow the mitted and colorpoint AOV's for championship status, as of right now they only allow the bicolor. I have always shown in TICA, but it would be nice if the vote passes and allows for all of our patterns to be shown.

I wish all of you and your kitties the best of luck in each of their shows!!
