Welcome to the Maine Coon Cat Club’s
Site.
Due to the Olympic Flame
passing through Lichfield on Saturday 30th June, resulting in all leisure
centres in the area being closed for the day, we have had to move the 2012 Maine
Coon Cat Club Show date to Sunday 1st July. The show has classes for
Maine Coons, Ragamuffins, Turkish Vankedisis, Non-Pedigrees and Pedigree
Pets.
Schedules are now available and
hard copies have been posted to all last year's exhibitors.
Please
note: The GCCF Thirteen Day Rule means that cats can be entered at The
Maine Coon Cat Club Show and the Joint Humberside/Lincolnshire Cat Club Shows on
14th July, 13 days later.

LIMITED EDITION SILVER
ANNIVERSARY MUG
To
celebrate the club’s Silver Anniversary, we have had special commemorative
mugs produced especially for the club. Made from porcelain, the front features a
beautiful colour illustration of a Maine Coon head, the reverse has wording to
celebrate our silver anniversary and on the underside is the club’s logo. They
are gold edged, top and bottom. To protect them during transit, they are
carefully packed in a specially designed heavyweight cardboard box.
The
photo really doesn’t do this mug justice and the illustration looks much more
impressive in the flesh. First available at the Maine Coon Cat Club Show, they
are now on general sale through the club.
These mugs cost £4.25 boxed from the club table at shows, or can be sent out by
post, costing £6.50 including postage.
For
more information, please contact David Howe (treasurer) on 0114 2694476 or
e-mail him at dhowe@btinternet.com
This
is a unique opportunity to have a beautiful mug, showing our lovely breed.
The
2011 Show took place at King Edward VI Leisure Centre, King Hill Road,
Lichfield, Staffs, WS14 9DE on Saturday 25th June.
