Top 10 Entire, Top 10 Kitten and Top 10 Desexed. This will be implemented for the 2013 show season subject to written comment from our members. Comments will close 1 June to allow the 2013 shows to be organised. Letters to the NSWCFA office. Desexed Kittens – 2013 Desexed kittens will be incorporated into the general kitten classes from 2013. Again, to bring us into line with CCCA practice and to make it a more competitive class. This will be implemented for the 2013 show season subject to written comment from our members. Comments will close 1 June to allow the 2013 shows to be organised. Letters to the NSWCFA office. NSWCFA Catching Up Magazine The NSWCFA Management Committee ask our members for feedback on the possibility of our magazine changing to an on-line format. This would be available from the NSWCFA web site, which is undergoing a rewrite and would save the Association a considerable sum as well as overcome some difficulties with the printed issue. Members who are unable to access an online magazine would have a copy printed from the CFA office and posted. The magazine could be archived on-line and being a web issue, could incorporate considerable photo displays. If this is not agreeable, the magazine will be reduced to 3 issues a year. Feedback is needed to the NSWCFA office by 1st April. NSWCFA Management Committee meetings. Our meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month and are open to members to attend in the gallery if desired. Members attending may not speak however. It would be appreciated, as a courtesy, that anyone planning to attend, notify the CFA office to ensure sufficient space and chairs are set.
Please Note Change to the following Show Dates Siamese & Shorthaired/Siamese Cat Society combined show, which will now be held on Sunday 11 March instead of Saturday 10 March. Burmese Cat Society show has changed from Saturday 17 March to Sunday 18 March.

2012 SYDNEY ROYAL EASTER SHOW Letter received 7th December from the RAS NSW. The RAS have declined Associate Affiliation with NSWCFA as they do not wish to abide by our Constitution and By-Law. For our members, attention is given to the relevant clause in our By-law pertaining to their membership and this show - 7 Judges licenced by NSWCFA and its accredited stewards and its members may not participate in any capacity, except as an exhibitor or visitor, at a show conducted in NSW by any Other NSW Governing Body or one of such Body’s affiliates. This By-law was ratified at the 2007 General Meeting by a 100% vote of the members present. Therefore, our members may exhibit at this show, however, no awards will be recognised. This means no challenges, no cat of year points and of course, no CCCA awards are possible since it is not a CCCA show. NSWCFA is greatly saddened by the turn of events which has led to this situation, after many years of co-operation with the RAS. A disclosure of the timeline of events is now available in the Member Area of this site.
NSW CFA STATE SHOW To support the NSWCFA members the CFA will be holding a State Show on the 1st April. This will be a fun show which we can all develop into our Annual All Breed Spectacular. There are many new innovations on the agenda for NSWCFA and we welcome ALL members to write down any suggestions they may have for the future and send to the Office. We are all members of CFA and should all be a part of its future growth. More will be placed after a special meeting of the committee in January specifically to discuss many of the ideas and their implementation.
