did you get mine? I re-sent them with a different email address, but I had to convert the pictures to pdf to attach them and it took ages to send, so I hope you got them! my other email address conveniently puts picture attachments into the email automatically. :Crazy:
hope you got them!  :)

Yes you can do it Susanne and you are just not trying hard enough  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Mind you , I wanted some tails and trousers pictures and was sitting in the garden when two lots walked past and no bloomin camera!

 :rofl:

It's lucky for you all that Jaffa isn't terribly photogenic otherwise he'd win everything  ;)

Ok, tight schedule so I need to get organised.  I get paid on 15th so if I sort out pics and resize them as needed etc. between now and then, I should be able to get them submitted in time.  Theoretically.

Hmmm - wonder what will be chosen by Ollie - could be very interesting  :rofl: :hug:

I'm gonna have to get clicking cos none of my old ones of Bonnie have won in the past so we'll try again.

yes its pretty open, you can enter as many pictures as you like in any class, or the same picture in more than one class as long as pics meet the class description and its £1 for every picture entered in any class, even if its the same picture  ;D

Its meant to be a cat show not a photo show but obviously the better your pics the better your cat is seen by others...........so we always hope the best cat wins and its the one that Purrs members vote for that will win..............and they can be very unpredictable lol  :innocent:

Have to say that the voting is the hardest part and trying to pick your best x cats is really hard.  :scared:

I've been busy taking loads of pictures and can't decide on which one is the nicest  :) Will we be able to enter more than one picture for the same class and if you can will it be voted on the best photo or the cat in general? I'm another Cat Show newbie!

Dont worry KC, its just many of us have been doing these cat shows for last 3 or 4 years LOL.

In the first post it gives you this years classes, which I always give before anything else so you can get your photos sorted out.

Its £1 per photo for entry and I am going to work out the entry date and start of Show date etc tonight while watching election results LOL

I expect entries to be open almost immediately because there is so much work to do behind the scenes but will post all the needed info for entry probably tonight.

If you have any specific questions please post here or pm me and I will try to help.

Pictures will need to come to me resized to 650pixels on longest side but no small pics please cos we need to see that cat  :rofl: :rofl:

If you cant send resized pics then just send me what you have and I will resize, addy to be supplied in my opening Show post  ;D

You will not see any of pics on site until the opening day of the Show and I probably will still be setting it up till mins before opening LOL

When is this happening and how do you enter? I think I'm being a bit thick as I can't work it out from this thread and everyone else seems to know what's going on! :Crazy:

Don't worry KC, at this stage there is nothing to know, we're just all part of the furniture so were here for the show last year :evillaugh:

Keep an eye on this thread for when full details and links will be posted. Gill can advise better but I think we have a whole child board set up for the cat show don't we?

I have all my pictures ready and waiting! I LOVE my noses and ears picture, but it has proved impossible to get a trousers and tails picture, Benji's tail just never stays still, it is constantly twitching (apparently due to his old back injury) so all the pictures are blurry!
the lazy picture...now that wasn't a problem!  :evillaugh:
