3 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 King’s Castle Business Park, The Drove, Bridgwater, Somerset. TA6 4AG)

REGISTRATION No Cat or Kitten, Entire or Neutered, born after 19/10/71 with one or both parents, grand-parents or great grand parents unregistered shall be eligible for the Breed Classes. All Pedigree Cats, Kittens or Neuters exhibited at a GCCF show must be registered. All registered exhibits which have changed hands, must have been transferred to their new owner at least 10 days before the Show. All registrations and/or transfers must have reached GCCF Office at least 10 days before the Show.

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.

GENERAL NOTES FOR THE ATTENTION OF ALL 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 a reason. d). Refuse admission to the hall without giving a reason. e). Cancel, amalgamate or divide classes. f). Publish a catalogue of the show containing information as to the exhibits and names of exhibitors. g). Retain a percentage of the Entry Fees to cover essential expenses in the event of the show being cancelled for any reason.

GENERAL GUIDELINES ON ENTERING SHOWS Full Details of exhibiting at GCCF Shows are given in the GCCF Rules Section 4, available on the GCCF website under “ About GCCF” and “Forms and Downloads” at www.gccfcats.org or can be purchased for a small charge post free by telephoning the GCCF Office. The Following provides some additional explanation.

Where possible, always complete your show entry form using details from your GCCF Registration Certificate for the cat that is to be exhibited. Please print the details carefully to avoid any misinterpretation of your handwriting. If the Registration Certificate you have does not show your name and address this means that the cat is not registered in your name and you must transfer the cat into your name no later than **10 days before the show. Transfer can be done instantly using GCCF “Online Services” at www.gccfcats.org.

If you have not received your Registration Certificate 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.

It is recommended that you 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). Any such correction must not be an addition or substitution of any exhibit for which proof of entry cannot be validated, or a change of exhibitor/owner. 4

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 and, 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 form, but joint owners of an exhibit should always use the same form and both must sign the declaration.

Exhibitors are reminded that the decisions of the judges are final. Any attempt to influence such decisions, or to identify a cat or ownership of a cat to a judge at a show before that judge’s engagement has been completed, may render the offender liable to disciplinary action.

IF THERE IS A MISTAKE ON YOUR ENTRY– WHAT TO EXPECT Minor Errors Should a small error be made these will be resolved between Exhibitor, Show manager and/or GCCF. Persistent repetition may result in further action being taken.

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; but 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 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: EXHIBIT Totally incorrect name OWNER/EXHIBITOR Declaration not signed by at least one of the 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.

Registration/Transfer Not Received by the GCCF **10 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.

Transfer of Exhibit from Exhibitor to a New Owner Received by the GCCF More Than **10 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, Imperial Grand or Olympian class must have qualified on or before the published closing date of the show which will include any extension published on the GCCF Website (amended 21.10.2015) and the title must have been claimed in writing by that date. Exhibitors who enter Grand, Imperial Grand or Olympian classes without claiming the title will be reminded once, but if the title remains unclaimed the cat will be disqualified from this class at subsequent shows. Cats Registered on the Reference Register Most cats registered on this Reference Register (CSREF) are not eligible to be shown and, therefore, these entries could be disqualified. One exception to this is when a new breed becomes recognised, and then cats of the breed may be shown, even if they were originally registered on the Reference Register as long as this was the only reason for the Reference registration.

5 Exhibitors may appeal against any disqualification resulting from show checking, giving their reasons. The appeal will be referred to the GCCF Board if considered valid and, if not, a letter of explanation will be sent to the exhibitor(s). The above advice, however, is aimed at keeping your show entries trouble- free.

VETERINARY GCCF recommend the use of secure, top-opening cat carriers and if a cat cannot easily be removed from the carrier, it will not be vetted in/Judged (as in Best in Show). N.B. This recommendation relates to the amendment to Section 4 Rule 6. Exhibits will be received at the entrance of the Show hall from 7.45 a.m. until 9.30 a.m. on the morning of the show. Each exhibit will be examined by the clubs Hon. Veterinary Surgeons and no exhibit may be penned before being examined.

Vetting-in envelopes will be given out on the day of the show. All exhibits must have a current Vaccination Certificate against FIE (Feline Infectious Enteritis), FVR & FCV (Cat Flu) the full course or booster, in accordance with manufacturers recommendations must have been completed more than 7 days before the Show and issued by a Vet. practice/hospital and signed by a Veterinary Surgeon or Vet. Nurse under the direction of a Vet.Surgeon. The certificate must clearly indicate the identity of the exhibit and the owner to avoid any confusion which may result in rejection from the show!

Cats without valid certificates will be rejected under section A of the GCCF Rejection Form unless the Exhibitor undertakes to provide proof of vaccination, valid for the show, by sending the certificate to GCCF within 7 days of the Show – failure to do so will result in disqualification.

Homeopathic Vaccinations are not acceptable to the GCCF for the purpose of Vetting-in – see Section 4, Rule 4f. Exhibits must have clean ears and coats free from pests. Any exhibit rejected by the Veterinary Surgeon must be removed by its owner and the Entry Fees are forfeit. If, in the Veterinary Surgeons opinion it is desirable, all exhibits from the same household and owner shall be debarred from attending the show. The Veterinary Surgeons decision is Final.

Section 5 VETERINARY SURGEONS rule 3. 1. a) All cats exhibited at shows held under GCCF rules must have a current certificate of vaccination against Feline Calicivirus (FCV), Feline Herpes Virus (FHV) and Feline Panleukopenia * (FPV). 2. The full primary course (first set of vaccinations) in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, must have been completed more than seven days before the show. 3. b) Booster vaccinations against FCV, FHV and FPV must be given at the manufacturer's recommended intervals. Where a variable interval of 1-3 years for FCV and FHV is recommended the minimum interval applies. ie all cats attending shows MUST receive annual booster vaccination against FCV and FHV. For Boosters only note: Exhibitors are advised to leave at least a week between a booster vaccination and show attendance to allow the vaccine to take effect and in case of any adverse reaction. * Previously termed Feline Infectious Enteritis

VETERINARY REJECTIONS Exhibitors whose cats have been rejected at shows should note the following : a. When sending your clearance certificate to the GCCF Veterinary Officer please include your copy of the rejection slip. b. Do not send certificates by recorded delivery as this can cause delays in receipt. If acknowledgement is required please enclose a stamped addressed postcard for signature. c. Exhibitors should not attend shows until they have received a letter accepting and confirming clearance from the Veterinary Officer.

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 they are 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 am,

6 and may not be returned until 1.00 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. Exhibits actually received into the Show Hall cannot be removed without the sanction of the Show Managers. They are only received on condition that the club shall not be held responsible for any loss or damage to exhibits, boxes or baskets or in any other way. Please Note that it is the Exhibitors responsibility to ensure that their cat’s pen is safe and secure before leaving the hall.

ADVICE TO EXHIBITORS – PLEASE DO TAKE NOTE ! a) You are advised against purchasing any shampoo’s that change a cat's coat colour or the use of Stress Remedies including Scullcap or Valerian which change a cat’s normal appearance or physical reaction as this will lead to disqualification under Section 4 Rule 14. b) Any person whose cats have 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. c) The use of small battery driven fans in pens can be dangerous, and could also be considered a distinguishing feature. d) The use of any kind of spray in the hall is strictly forbidden. e) Please note that in addition to the classes you have entered, your cat may also be handled for the purpose of assessing candidates in the GCCF appointment scheme. f) Queens who have kittened within 12 weeks of the date of the show may not be shown. h) Owners 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. i) Advertisements : Be aware that advertising the future attendance of your cat at a GCCF show could lead to disciplinary action – take care when advertising in magazines, newspapers, newsletters or on the Internet. j) GCCF Veterinary Sub Committee wish to remind Exhibitors that cats should not be left in cars.

NEW RULES 1ST JANUARY 2017 Any cat which cannot be handled safely for examination will be rejected. NB. Exhibitors must trim their cat's claws, if necessary, prior to the show. Section 5: rule 4e e. Cats which show obvious signs of lack of attention to hygiene, have sharp untrimmed claws, or in the opinion of the veterinary surgeons are in an unfit condition for show, must be rejected under Section A of the Veterinary Rejection form. Note: Exhibitors should be allowed the opportunity to trim claws prior to a rejection, but should not expect the veterinary surgeon to do this for them at vetting-in. (Amended 15.06.2016)

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/s concerned may not be withdrawn from the catalogue of the show and the 13 day Rule about entering 2 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.

ALL WITHDRAWALS, ALTERATIONS AND/OR ADDITIONS TO ENTRY FORMS, MUST BE MADE IN WRITING TO THE SHOW MANAGER/S. No telephone alterations and/or deletions will be accepted but corrections to your entry form can be made on show day

PLEASE NOTE : If a Cat/kitten is entered as an Entire and then Neutered before the Show you MUST notify the Show Manager A.S.A.P.

CORRESPONDENCE All correspondence must be accompanied by a S.A.E. if a reply is required. Any complaint related to the show must be forwarded to the Show Manager within seven days of the show. 7 NOTICE OF CHANGE An announcement on GCCF Website of any alterations or additions made to this schedule or in these regulations shall be deemed sufficient notice.

JUDGING AND JUDGES Judging will commence at 10.00 am and Exhibitors will be requested to clear the hall until 12.30pm, while the Breed/Open Classes are being judged. 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.

COUNTERSIGNATURES In the event of a change of Judge of an Title/Breed/Open Class occurring after the closing date of the show, providing the exhibitor informs the Show Manager prior to Judging, that a certificate has previously been awarded by the replacement Judge, the Show Managers 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 Champion/Premier status.

If the replacement Judge at the first show has also previously been 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 counter-signature.
