 Early in the morning the board of the Burmese Breed-club is already present and after the cats have been installed in their cages, the decorations are put up. In the meanwhile the tables are covered with all kinds of tasty things.  To start there was coffee and tea. To compliment that there was the choice between 3 kinds of fruit-pie and cakes. On top of the cages bowls with candy were placed. At 10,00 o'clock the party could really begin.  But not before a honorary membership was awarded to mrs. Nel Groenhuijzen for years of good council, advise and assistance, enormous effort and heartwarming dedication.  Once she overcame the surprise, the Burmese stand could be opened.  One could buy all kind of goodies for both cat and man, but also get access to knowledge and information.   To involve the public more with the special there was an election held. On every cage were forms on which the public could write down which Burmese (or Bombay or Burmilla) was the sweetest, the cutest or the prettiest. The public was busy deliberating, comparing and thinking. All votes were collected. Mid-afternoon the voting was stopped and all votes were counted. There was a nice price for the winning cat and it's owner. And among the public that had voted for that particular cat there were 3 prices too.  At lunchtime the inner human wasn't forgotten. There was white and brown French bread and 4 kinds of salads. Besides that there were current buns as well. Coffee and tea were constantly available.  To bring some extra attention to the Special and to put the Burmese even more in the spotlight, there was a stage-presentation.   A lot was explained about the Burmese in their different colours and about the Bombay and the Burmilla.  Judges Jannie Geelen and Klaas van de Wijk and their stewards were very busy judging all the cats. Jannie judged the Burmese in cream and all the torties.   Klaas was allowed to judge the Burmese in lilac, blue and red. The Bombay's and Burmilla were judged by him too.

The exhibitors packed up their cats and belongings and went home. The board, helped by a few others, cleaned up everything, so that the Burmese-square was left neath and tidy. Via e-mail were received a few reactions: Sunday was a very pleasant day and what a lot of work you will have had as an organization with all the preparations and executing it all.
