SEMI LONG HAIR CAT ASSOCIATION

SHOW RULES AND REGULATIONS The Show is held under the Rules of the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy and is open to all. As a copy of the Rules is NOT included with this schedule, all exhibitors are reminded that they should read Section 4 of the Show Rules, as they will be strictly applied. Ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse for a breach of the Rules. (Copies of the Rules may be obtained from the GCCF Offices. 5 Kings Castle Business Park, The Drove, Bridgewater, Somerset. TA6 4AG. Price £2.00). ELIGIBILITY OF EXHIBITS TO ENTER SHOW PEDIGREE SECTION: All cats, kittens and neuters of breeds recognised by, and registered with the GCCF, (except those registered on the Reference Register) are eligible for entry in the competition. To be effective for entry all registrations and/or transfers must have reached the GCCF Office at least 21 days prior to the show. No cat or kitten, entire or neutered, born after 19.10.71, with one or both parents, grandparents or great grand parents unregistered shall be eligible for entry into Open Classes. The exhibitor must complete the entry form as stated on the registration/transfer certificate. Exhibitors are responsible for the correct description of the exhibits and for entering them in the correct classes. Please do not omit to Read and Sign the declaration - if joint owners, both must sign the form. Cats which are not normally resident with their registered owner should be transferred into the ownership of their keeper if they are to be shown. Exhibitors are reminded that in the event of rejection, all exhibits in the same registered ownership may also be rejected and clearance may be required for both households. NON-PEDIGREE SECTION: All unregistered cats, kittens and neuters of unknown or unregistered non-pedigree parentage are eligible for entry in the Non-Pedigree Section. All Non-Pedigree cats over nine months of age must be neutered. VETERINARY Exhibits will be received at the entrance to the show hall from 8.00 am until 9.45 am on the day of the show. All exhibits must be brought to the show in a suitable container. Top opening carriers are preferred. Exhibitors should note that cats which cannot be safely removed from their carriers may be rejected at vetting-in or disqualified on the ground that it cannot be handled. Exhibits must be accompanied by their owner(s) or representative(s). On arrival they will be examined by an official Veterinary Surgeon. Exhibitors passes will be issued at vetting in. There are no tallies. All exhibits must have a current certificate of vaccination against FIE, FVR and FCV (“cat flu”). The full course, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, must have been completed more than seven days before the show. The certificate must have been issued by a veterinary practice/hospital and the last vaccination entry signed by a Veterinary Surgeon or a listed Veterinary Nurse under the direction of a Veterinary Surgeon. Please bring your certificate with you. It will be required for veterinary inspection. Ensure that the certificate is properly completed and clearly indicates the identity of the exhibit and the owner to avoid confusion resulting in rejection. Cats without a valid vaccination certificate will be rejected under Section A. Homeopathic Vaccinations are not acceptable to the GCCF for the purpose of vetting-in. Exhibits must have clean ears and coats and must show no signs of parasites. Queens who are pregnant, lactating, or who have kittened within 12 weeks of the date of the show may not be exhibited. No exhibit that has been declawed will be accepted, neither will male cats which are monorchid or cryptorchid. Any exhibit, which in the opinion of the Duty Veterinary Surgeon, is unfit for exhibition either at vetting in or during the show day, must be removed from the show hall immediately, as may any other exhibit from the same owner(s) and/or household. The owner(s) or representative(s) may be forbidden to enter the show and all fees will be forfeited. The decision of the Duty Veterinary Surgeon is final and is not subject to appeal. Exhibitors whose cats or kittens have been rejected at shows should note the following:

(a) When sending your clearance certificate to the GCCF Office, please include your copy of the rejection slip. (b) Do not send certificates by recorded delivery post as this can cause a delay. If you wish to satisfy yourself that your letter has reached the GCCF Office, please enclose a stamped addressed postcard, which will be signed and returned to you. (c) Exhibitors should not attend shows until they have received a letter from the GCCF Office accepting and confirming clearance. It is recommended that this letter be taken to shows within a month of issue of the clearance letter. JUDGING AND JUDGES Judging will commence at 10.00 am, when exhibitors will be asked to clear the judging area until 12.30 pm while the Open Classes are being judged. Exhibitors will be allowed around the periphery of the hall during this period and to observe the judging from the seating provided. Judges are empowered to withhold any prize, award or certificate in any class if the exhibits do not in their opinion, possess sufficient merit. Prizes will be awarded from the Judge’s award slip and not from any catalogue or prize card. A judge’s decision is final. An exhibitor may not approach a Judge, nor enter into conversation with a judge, until that Judge’s engagement is complete. COUNTERSIGNING OF CERTIFICATES In the event of a change of judge in an Open Class occurring after the closing date of the Show, and provided that the exhibitor informs the Show Manager prior to judging, that a certificate has previously been awarded by the replacement judge, the Show Manager shall appoint one other judge who shall judge the cat and if the cat is considered worthy countersign the certificate which shall then count towards Imperial/Championship/Premiership status. If the replacement judge at the first show has also been previously booked for a subsequent show the closing date of which is before the date of the first show, and where the actual entry has been made and received before the date of the first show, then at the subsequent show this judge can be regarded as a replacement judge for the purpose of requesting a countersignature. You are advised to inform the Show Manager of all certificates gained in order that duplication may be avoided. PENNING OF EXHIBITS Every exhibit must be provided with a white sanitary tray and clean plain white or near -white blanket or blankets without distinctive marking or edging, which may be arranged in such a manner as to assist the comfort of the cat. Cellular blankets are not allowed, but white Vet-bed or like material may be used if preferred. A hot water bottle or heat reflecting material or a cool pack may be used provided it is covered by a blanket in accordance with GCCF Rules. Any other form of heating will lead to disqualification. All exhibits must have water, but food containers must be removed before judging commences at 10.00 am, and may not be returned until 12.30 pm. One small toy may be placed in the pen after the time announced for the admission of the public. Judges are instructed to pass any pen that is distinguished in any way, other than official notices or award cards. No written or printed matter may be placed on competitive pens - ‘For Sale’ signs are NOT permitted. Exhibition pens only may be decorated and may carry printed matter relating to the exhibit. The show opens to the Public at 12.30 pm and closes at 5.00 pm or earlier, at the Show Manager’s discretion. Exhibits actually received into the show hall must not be removed before the end of the show without the written permission of the Show Manager. Any exhibit removed from the show hall before 5.00 pm, without the permission of the Show Manager, will be disqualified and all awards will be forfeited. Exhibits are only received on condition that the Association shall not be held responsible for any loss or damage to persons, cats, boxes or baskets or in any other way.

5

NEUTERED KITTENS Exhibitors are advised that the must notify the Show Manager if a kitten entered in the show as an entire is neutered before the show takes place, even though re-registration or change of class may not be necessary. This is important because if the kitten is male, the judge could refuse to judge the exhibit or withhold an award for cryptorchidism.

ADVICE TO EXHIBITORS AS FROM 1.6.92 You are advised against using any shampoo that could change the coat colour of a cat as this can lead to disqualification. Homeopathic Vaccinations are not acceptable to the GCCF for the purpose of showing. Any person whose cat has been rejected under sections C or D must not officiate as a judge or steward, or in any other capacity which requires the handling of cats at shows, until a clearance certificate as required by the GCCF has been obtained. The use of small battery driven fans in pens can be dangerous, and could also be considered a distinguishing feature. The use of any kind of spray in the hall is strictly forbidden. Please note that in addition to the classes you have entered, your cat(s) may also be handled for the purpose of assessing candidates in the GCCF appointment scheme. It is recommended that you clip the claws of your cat(s) before the show. Owner’s Liability: Please note that Exhibitors (Owners) are responsible for the cost of any veterinary treatment required by their cat(s) during the Exhibitors (Owners) absence from the show hall. The Semi Long Hair Cat Association is registered under the Data Protection Act 1984. Exhibitors are advised that advertising the future attendance of their cat(s) at any GCCF show could lead to disciplinary action and great care should be taken when advertising in magazines, newspapers, newsletters or on the internet. Exhibitors should not leave cats in cars while the show is in progress.

SHOW WITHDRAWALS AND ALTERATIONS The last date for withdrawal of a cat from a show is the advertised closing date for entries at that show. After this date the cat concerned may not be withdrawn from the catalogue of the show and the 13-day Rule about entering two shows within 13 days will apply. There will be no refund of entry fees if the cat is not present at the show and the entry in the catalogue must not be withdrawn. This ruling does not prevent Show Managers from returning entries after the closing date of the show if they are unable to accept them into the show because the show is full. Corrections to your entry form can be made on show day. ALL ALTERATIONS AND/OR ADDITIONS TO ENTRY FORMS MUST BE MADE IN WRITING TO THE SHOW MANAGER. THE COMMITTEE RESERVE, TO THEMSELVES, THE RIGHT TO: a) Appoint other judges should those advertised be unable to fulfil their engagement, and to appoint further judges should they be required. b) Fix and limit the number of exhibits at the show. c) To accept or refuse exhibit entry without giving reason. d) Cancel, amalgamate or divide classes. e) Publish a catalogue of the show containing information as to the exhibits and names and addresses of exhibitors. f) Retain a percentage of the entry fees to cover essential expenses in the event of the show being cancelled for any reason. g) No other animals or pets will be allowed into the show hall other than exhibiting cats, kittens and neuters. h) Refuse admission into the show hall without giving a reason.

GENERAL GUIDELINES ON ENTERING SHOWS Where possible, always complete your show entry form from your GCCF registration document (i.e. Registration or Transfer Certificate) for the cat that is to be exhibited, printing the details carefully to avoid any misinterpretation of your handwriting. If you have not received your registration document at the time of entry, complete the show entry form with the details from the pedigree, giving the first choice of name if it is a non-prefix registration, and put RAF (Registration Applied For) or TAF (Transfer Applied For), or both, in the Regd. No. box. It is wise to enclose a stamped self-addressed acknowledgement postcard with all registration and transfer applications particularly for cats entered for shows so that you know that the application has been received by the GCCF. Try to keep a copy of’ your entry form - then, when you receive registration details and number check these against the entry form and notify the Show Manager in writing of any differences in the details as well as giving the registration number, if applicable. This may not be in time for the printing of the show catalogue, but the Show Manager should attach your letter to your entry form, which will save unnecessary notification of discrepancies when that show is checked. All catalogue errors are checked against the original entry form and any exhibitors’ letters are used for reference. Show managements are permitted to accept corrections, at their own discretion, up to the close of the show (on show day); such a change must not be a change of exhibit. If you are entering several cats from your household and the registered owners (exhibitors) differ within that household/family, check with the Show Manager whether using one entry form is acceptable or not. If it is, indicate very clearly which exhibitor owns which cat, ensuring all owners sign the entry form. It may be less confusing and more acceptable to the Show Manager for each owner to use separate entry forms, but joint owners of the exhibit(s) should always use the same form and both must sign. STATUS OF ERRORS – WHAT TO EXPECT Minor Errors These warrant a notification for your reference if the error occurs more than once and it is apparent that registration details were available at the time of entry or before the date of the show. Continuous repetition of the same error after notification will be referred to the Executive Committee. Examples of minor errors include: (a) spelling errors (b) separation of cat’s names that should be one word, and vice versa (c) administrative/breeder’s prefix omitted from, or partially incorrect name given for, exhibit (d) overseas title preceding the name of an exhibit, sire or dam etc (e) full breed number known but not given (f) sire and dam reversed or named incorrectly (g) breeder joint when single and vice versa Incorrect Date of Birth This is usually classed as a minor error unless it affects an entry into classes based on age groups, when it could warrant disqualification of the exhibit from such classes. However, if the incorrect date of birth affects the age suitability as a whole, then the exhibit will be disqualified from the show. N.B. AGE LIMITS: Kittens - not less than 14 weeks and under 9 calendar months on date of show Adults - not less than 9 calendar months on date of show Incorrect Name of Exhibit/Owner/Breeder If registration/transfer details were obviously available at the time of entry or before the date of’ the show, disqualification is inevitable. The following discrepancies are those which usually arise:

7

EXHIBIT REGISTERED OWNER/ EXHIBITOR

* *

BREEDER

*

Totally incorrect name. Joint when they should be single and vice versa. Declaration not signed by registered owner(s). N.B. The exhibitor(s) must be the registered owner(s) of the cat and not necessarily the person who actually takes the cat to the show. Totally incorrect name or names. N.B. The breeder of a cat is always the registered owner of the dam on the date of the cat’s birth.

Registration/Transfer not received by the GCCF 21 days before the date of the show These entries will be disqualified. Remember, the effective date of all registrations and transfers is the first date of valid receipt by the GCCF, and if you enclose your own stamped addressed acknowledgement card with your application form this will be stamped with the GCCF Office date of receipt. Transfer of Exhibit from Exhibitor to a new Owner received by the GCCF more than 21 days before the date of the show Entries such as these will also be disqualified, as the exhibitor’s entry form becomes invalid. Incorrect or ineligibility of Class Entry These will be disqualified from the class concerned - so always check with the Show Manager if in doubt about which class to enter. If a breed number is changed officially, it is important that you notify the Show Manager immediately. Exhibits entered in the Grand class must have qualified on or before the published closing date of the show. Cat registered on the Reference Register No cat registered on this Register is eligible to be shown and therefore these entries will be disqualified. The only exception to this is when a new breed becomes recognised; and then cats of the breed may be shown even if they are registered on the Reference Register as long as this was the only reason for the Reference registration. Exhibitors may appeal against any disqualification resulting from show checking giving their reasons. The appeal will be referred to the Executive Committee if considered valid and, if not, a letter of explanation will be sent to the exhibitor(s). The above advice, however, is aimed to keep show entries and show checking trouble-free. NOTICE OF CHANGE An announcement on the GCCF website of any alterations or additions to this schedule or in the regulations shall be deemed sufficient notice. ALL EXHIBITORS’ PROPERTY IS LEFT IN THE HALL AT OWNERS RISK

The SLHCA invites breeders and owners to enter their cats in pairs in a Prefix Competition with special prizes for the winners!

Any two cats with the SAME prefix can be entered as a pair (GCCF Administrative Prefix’s are not eligible) – any combination of adults, kittens and neuters and any combination of breeds. The pair does not have to be owned by the same person, but must share the same prefix and be entered on the special form below. You may enter more than one pair for each prefix. Each pair will be judged collectively – so put your best cats together! A prefix owner may enter two cats from their cattery, or someone owning a pair of cats sharing a prefix can enter them as a surprise for their breeder. The Judge will judge each cat/ kitten/neuter individually it its own pen and then combine them into pairs (on paper…not in the pens!!!) to decide the winners – it has worked successfully at breed shows, but this is the only show where is it done for one Breed Section….the Semi Longhairs. We could possibly have a winning prefix with two different breeds paired together. There will be a special rosette for the winning prefix and the 2 runners-up. There may also be other special awards….we are still negotiating about this!! Each pair must be entered on the special entry form (in addition to the normal show entry) at a cost of £8.00 per pair (see entry form for payment details)
