MCPI Does Europe 2006 !
|
| . |
| MCPI Members have been proudly
showing their Maine Coon Polydactys in show rings around the world.
Whether it is in New Traits, Exhibitions or House Hold Pets, the cats
are getting out there and people are listening. The response is
positive, the publicity great and it seems that the time has come for
these wonderful cats to start being recognized for what they are...
Maine Coons!
|
 The
Dutch TICA Club, Cats
and Tulips was the first show we attended. This was in the
lovely town of Woerden, The Netherlands, August 26 - 27, 2006. For
some of us this was our first time seeing the European benching 
with the cats and it was a pleasant change. It was also an
opportunity to see old friends again and meet new ones! The show
got started and the final touches were put on the cats before they went
into the ring. New Traits class had other breeds present and our
polys had great competition.

These are the New Traits
results:
Judges:
Bobbie Tullo (AB), Francesca Gagern (AB), Allen Walburn (AB), Mary
Lisse de Landstheer (AB)
Edith Mary Smith (AB) and Female Congress |

The surprise for most was the
arrival of Gordon from the USA. We had a little fun and tried to
keep his arrival a secret until Hannover. I think our roving
reporter show report may have given that away :)
The surprise for Gordon was the Birthday cake in honour of his 75th
Birthday!
|
 |
But I think Gordon was kept very busy clerking...oh and
look...it's Silversocks P in the ring! |

It was two days full of cats and friends, laughter and
congratulations, train rides and car rides and a great promotion for the
Maine Coon Polydactyls.

From Left to Right: Michel, Miriam, Sandra,
Vonne, Deb, Gordon and Justin. This picture was taken at the end
of the day. Sharon and Yolanda were both present at the show also.
My apologies for not getting everyone in the picture.
It was a wonderful show. Sandra, Patrick
and the Cats and Tulips Club did a fantastic job!! There will be
more pictures to follow soon. |
