Show News AICA Show No. 25 Photography byIndependent African Elizabeth Wentworth Council Cat What an event! Our 25th show was a celebration, with a visiting judge from Gauteng, Daniel Gemishuis, a special cake, cages decorated in the theme and a special visitor from London, Gilly Wheatley, who (wo)manned the door. It was a lovely summers day and a festive athmosphere prevailed. We had lots of visitors and lots of stalls selling lots of cat related and Christmas related goodies. This was the first ever triple event in South African show history and the AICA show was followed by another Independent show, staged by the Oriental, Siamese and Related Breeds group - their 7th show. After the completion of this show, followed the 45th Internationlal WCF show of The Cat Association of Southern Africa (CASA). Hills and Cats Best sponsored the prizes. Thank you, so much! Each judge could award one or two “Judges Best”, depending on the number of cats they judged. The Best Overall was a lovely surprise, with a first time ever win for a Burmilla! Congratulations, Alida Delport. The show had one of the biggest entries this year, with good representation in all the categories. Thank you to all the helpers who worked behind the scenes to make this show a success and to Elizabeth Wentworth who took most of the photographs.
