Eastern Counties Cat Society
Would Members please note that with effect from the AGM, a ruling was passed with which you have to be a Member for two years before applications for prefix forms will be signed.
This is because it has been noticed that people are actually sending in prefix forms with their membership forms, and once they have been a Member for a year no longer bother to continue their membership. Also we feel that we should get to know more about the person concerned before we sign these important forms.
We still have not received any articles for a newsletter. Do we take it that the Members are not interested in getting a newsletter or is life so boring you have no news? Surely there must be something going on in the cat world you would like to share with us - a poem, a special cat, a cat that works for charity causes, anything of interest. Please send to me at 69 Barrett Road, Lakenham, Norwich NR1 2HY or email Kazzaspellcaster@aol.com
