Just to say vista print are offering a free T-shirt now. The offer is open to 30th September and if you go for slow delivery it will only cost £2.70 delivery for a white T-shirt (up to XL) with an uploaded design.

It may be cheap and cheerful , but if someone does the design and shares with all , order your own and you to can go to the ball!

Never been to the Supreme but was never cold at National, T-shirts was warm enough I think.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #78 on:** September 13, 2007, 22:48:12 PM »

I wore a long sleeved t shirt and a fleece jacket on top of that. It wasn't long before I took the fleece off and tied it around my waist, but with a backpack making me hot too I was uncomfortably hot for most of the day and I don't recall feeling particularly hot in previous years. I usually keep my jacket on with a similar top underneath and am about right. I don't feel the cold though.

Reynard · « **Reply #77 on:** September 13, 2007, 22:34:41 PM »

It was very dry in the halls as I went through a couple of litres of water, but it wasn't warm as was wearing a thick fleece jumper and my cat waistcoat - a faux leather job picked up at a boot sale for 50p and stops my clothes being shredded by clawsies.

Maybe it's the fact that at shows I'm a fuffy nervous wreck so feel colder than I really am...

From my recollection of last year, you'll need more than a t-shirt in the supreme show halls as they tend to be kept on the cool side and they're a little draughty...

Last year me and my friend were sweating buckets it was so hot! Although it is back in the other halls this time and I don't recall it being unberably hot before.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #75 on:** September 13, 2007, 22:24:27 PM »

I'm all for a badge, but not quite so sure about the t-shirt.

We have used that a few times Tan but in all honesty it is not a patch on the printed t/shirts and comes off quite easily.

Tan will ask Claire.

T shirt print paper

me want some!

Tan · « **Reply #70 on:** September 13, 2007, 15:24:50 PM »

That would be good Ruth, looking into the tshirts. Not sure if it would be cheaper to do ourselves. We have t shirt print paper but never used it before?

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #68 on:** September 13, 2007, 14:03:01 PM »

Any takers for a lift up from London? I'll be taking me car and am up for a shirt too!

Tan, Claire R may have a contact for the shirts (we can have logo sewn on?) I can ask her?

Cheesecat · « **Reply #67 on:** September 13, 2007, 13:27:14 PM »

I really want a shirt, lilac or blue sounds lovely.

I wouldnt wear a fitted one, too "cuddly" for that.. wouldnt mind a small sized average shirt though

Reynard · « **Reply #66 on:** September 11, 2007, 22:56:05 PM »

Actually, I've seen these lightweight shopping trollies with a built in seat - all luggage needs rolled into one!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #65 on:** September 11, 2007, 22:44:54 PM »

I have those Witty but at moment couldnt drag it around cos arm is too bad and I walk with a stick grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Arm been bad since beginning of year and although much improved its not likely to be well enough

Reynard · « **Reply #64 on:** September 11, 2007, 22:42:49 PM »

Gilly, there are shuttle buses between the car parks and the show halls, though you may have to queue coming out of the show and jam into buses packed with exhibitors and cats...

May be worth investing in a bag on wheels or something of that ilk.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #63 on:** September 11, 2007, 22:34:55 PM »

I love all the things you see at cat shows and there are so many deals that you can get, the only thing that worries me at supreme , is how do you get stuff back to the car cos I cant walk too far and also cant carry stuff.

I have not come across much nasty stuff if any as most cat people are so nice. When going to the National in London on the tube , you would see all the cat people staright away waiting at earls court tube and on way back it was just a mixture of cat bags and goodies all cramming into the tube, I used to enjoy it so much but just wished there were more places to sit

GCCF Dawn, though I'm looking at trying TICA in the new year.

can't go 'cos I is in London working on that day.....
wouldn't go 'cos I don't like cat shows and all the snobbery that goes with it.....

apart from that the parking and entrance fees make it an expensive day.

If you want to have a central meeting then why not somewhere like the birmingham cats protection shelter at Hollywood? I'm sure they'd be delighted to charge you all an entrance fee

Parking is free and it's what, £10? to get in which makes it a lot cheaper than many days out. I easily get that £10 back due to savings I make buying cat food etc on special offer. There are also charities such as cats protection there so there are opportunities to support them too.

I've never found snobbery at cat shows myself. Where you get lots of cat owners together you will get all sorts and I'm sure there are some that leave a lot to be desired in many ways but that's folks for you! I've met lots that are lovely people and adore their cats. The supreme is very much a celebration of cats - all cats, not just pedigree cats - and there is so much stuff there that you can't buy in the shops that I'd go for the shopping alone.

They do Ash Grey as well as white by the looks of things, but I will do some more investigating and see what I can find.

Excuse me Angie, I find that quite offensive. I suggest you come to a show and meet some of us household pet exhibitors - you'll find we are not snobby at all. We just love sharing our cats with other likeminded folk. Added to the fact that most of the HP at shows are all rescued cats.

I went to one show to do some fund raising and was not overly impressed with the standard of ownership. Sorry if you find it offensive, but then its just my opinion.

And regarding the expensive day out, I can think of many days out that are more expensive than a day at the supreme; sporting events, rock gigs and theatre shows spring to mind.

I will liaise with Tan and get a sample one done so we can see what the quality etc is like. They are normally good for delivery so there should be time.

Could we do the t shirt as a club shirt so we could have them for any future meets be it cat show or boozers

Girls could get extra large and wear as a nighty, wot would the neighbours say

(who cares)
