Breed Focus

We'll be hosting a Breed Focus, and we'd love as many different breeds as possible on the bench for the weekend. This is your chance to put your breed front and centre — decorate your pen area, bring signage, leaflets or anything that helps tell your breed's story, and enjoy the chance to chat to the public about what makes them so special. Please let us know if you're happy to take part and leave a note in your entry on TOES.

New Exhibitors

Felinology delights in welcoming New Exhibitors — we are a friendly team and will make sure your day is extra special, and that you understand what's required. Please let us know when you enter if this is your first show, and we can bench you with a more seasoned exhibitor to show you the ropes. The Show Team is also available prior to the show and on the day to assist with any queries.

We will hold a New Exhibitors Chat in a ring on both Saturday and Sunday, where a judge will explain the rules and show etiquette. The names of the judges running these rings will be posted in your exhibitor email ahead of the show.

Benching

THIS IS A "BRING YOUR OWN CAGE" SHOW: there will be limited benching cages available. Please contact the Show Team should you require one — cost is £20.00 for the weekend. Easy, affordable tents/cages are available via Amazon or Sturdi. Please note in TOES if you require a metal pen.

The standard double space is 4ft x 2ft and, under TICA rules, accommodates 2 adult cats, or 1 adult cat and 2 kittens, or 3 kittens. The entry clerk will add additional spaces to your entry where required to meet the rules, with applicable fees charged.

This is a non-vetted show. All entries must be free from contagious disease, with all vaccinations up to date, and vaccination cards must be presented at check-in. Any entry showing signs of contagious illness, parasites or fungus, or cats from homes exhibiting signs of infectious or contagious disease in the prior 21 days, are ineligible for entry or competition.

Cats which are pregnant or lactating will be disqualified. Cats may NOT be kept in the show hall overnight. All HHPs eight (8) months of age or older MUST be altered. All claws must be clipped prior to judging. Kittens aged between 3–4 calendar months are permitted into the show hall for exhibition only; kitten class for judging begins at 4 calendar months.

There will be Junior Exhibitor rings held at this show, with activities taking place each day. All current Junior Exhibitors who wish to take part should notify the Regional Liaison as soon as possible.

Anyone not yet part of the programme but wishing to join or find out what TICA's Junior Exhibitor programme is about should contact Collette Waugh on ewjuniorexhibitors@gmail.com.

Supplies

Bring your own benching cage, cat food, litter and litter trays, food/water bowls, and bags to remove your own refuse.

Banners & Signage

You're welcome to advertise your cattery at the show with banners, business cards and other promotional materials. We are limited by health and safety requirements, so can only accommodate a few stand-up banners in the hall, on a first-come, first-served basis, positioned on row-end benching. You're also welcome to bring banners for the venue entrance en route to the show hall. Please let the Show Manager know if you wish to bring a banner when you make your entry — there's no additional charge. If not noted in TOES with your booking, we might not have space for your banner.

Catering

There is a full-service café in the venue open all day with light meals, snacks and refreshments, plus a vending machine for those who require it.

Accommodation

There is no official Show Hotel, but there are many excellent pet-friendly venues in the local area. Please ensure your rooms are left clean and tidy, or we as an organisation risk losing suitable accommodation for future shows.

Clerks

We have a few clerk spaces still available please contact Natasha O.Martin or the Show Team if you would like to clerk at the show
