Hi everyone

 Ron has asked me to thank everyone for voting for him and all the kind comments you have put up on here,  :Luv:

It was a great night and we had such a good time and to top it off he won!!!!!! :)

he is in 2days Argus with a big pic of him getting his award and a plea for people to re-home cats when we are over the flu!

There was no prize but he did get a nice trophy! and the publicity is really good for lostcats!!!!!

once again a HUGE THANK YOU FROM RON for all your votes helping him to win. :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

Mark do you know if Ron has won?

I'm glad Edd found out as I didn't have a clue  :shy:. I tried Ron's number earlier but there was no answer.


According to Twitter, the winners took to the dancefloor an hour ago  ;)

He could do with a break. When I phoned, I wondered if someone was covering base - but I also saw the doors are closed due to a flu outbreak  :(

Is there a prize ... or does he just get a plaque?

I'm pretty sure it was a cash prize as well.  :)
