  • The Electoral Meeting of Gccf Council, June 2019

    The Electoral Meeting of Gccf Council, June 2019

    THE ELECTORAL MEETING OF GCCF COUNCIL, JUNE 2019 It was time for the June Council meeting, midday at the Conway Hall, but seats were empty and there hadn't been the usual rush to sign in. A quick count of the remaining envelopes showed about. half hadn't been collected. Rail problems had caused some delays, though by the time the meeting started some fifteen minutes later more had arrived and others trickled in later, but it was certainly a very low turn-out for an electoral meeting with 89 delegates, around 10% down on the previous year, but with travel into Waterloo very difficult possibly some had decided not to make the attempt. The day began as usual with time for a thought for old friends. Lorraine Allen, Bruce Bennett, Pat Creaton, Jennifer Fleming, Enid Holmes, Janet Powell, Ali Ross and Catrina Simpson were remembered in a moment of silence. There was then a quick diversion into GCCF’s history. In his opening remarks the Chairman, John Hansson, mentioned that the Board had recently been discussing club and delegate qualification to be present at Council. That prompted Steve Crow to ask if the member clubs that became GCCF in 1910, giving up rights of their own, should continue to have representation even if they did not comply with the duties of members as described as set out in the Byelaws. By a show of hands it was concluded ‘in perpetuity’ meant exactly that, so representation could not be removed. However, that did not mean that other sanctions could not be applied, as it was unfair on all other clubs if the founders could opt out of their responsibilities altogether.

  • Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy

    Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy

    Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy Guidelines for Healthy & Responsible Breeding 2 Forward This breeding policy has been written to accompany and supplement the Selkirk Rex Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. If there are any queries regarding either document, these should be referred to the Breed Advisory Committee delegates of the affiliated Selkirk Rex Cat Club. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders of Selkirk Rex Cats, to ensure best practice prevails. The over-riding objective is to conserve and improve the SelkirkRex cat, working to meet all aspects of the Standard of Points, which describes the ideal for the breed. Breeders should learn how to gain the best out of their breeding plans by adding value into the Selkirk Rex and how to make decisions that can only better its on-going development. A balance should be sourced to balance the need for selective outcrossing to increase the gene pool and improve stamina and health with the need to breed Selkirk Rex with sufficient preceding generations of Selkirk to Selkirkmatings to produce consistent type. Co-operation between breeders, with the GCCF and internationally, will ensure that diverse breeding lines are maintained within the breed and the breeders have sufficient options to maintain low inbreeding coefficients.
