Serving the Cat Fancy since 1928 !
The setting up of the The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy Australia and Victoria Inc. in 1928, the third in the world, was a progressive, forward-thinking move and we intend to continue in the same way. We are a happy group, who help each other in many ways, from setting up and pulling down shows, to sharing knowledge and experience.
We have 8 affiliated clubs who run their own shows throughout the year, for more information about the clubs check out the Cat Clubs page.

SAUSAGE SIZZLE
The sponsorship team for the 2017 ACF National has been able to secure an amazing fundraising opportunity, and we are now seeking volunteers to help with this.
Fresh Value Market, located in Cranbourne, are happy for us to run a sausage sizzle at their store on a Saturday. They will be supplying all the food and materials that we will need, all we need to do is supply the manpower to cook the sausages and onions and serve them up. This is at no outlay of costs to the GCCFV, and we get to keep 100% of the money taken from the sales, so with your help, we can raise an amazing amount of money to help make our National one we can be truly proud of.
Our first sizzle will be held on Saturday 24th September, and they will then run on a monthly basis, on the 4th Saturday of each month.
Whilst this is a short lead time, it was felt this was too good an opportunity to let go.
We are therefore seeking volunteers to help work the BBQ, and serve the public, many hands mean we will be able to share the duties and spread the load
The location is
Fresh Value Market
350-398 South Gippsland Highway
Cranbourne 3977
Setup 9,00 am
Close 3.30pm
If you can spare some time on Saturday the 24th, please email Veronica directly on blaxhaven_birmans@hotmail.com or phone her on 0450 354 076 between 9am-9pm, and indicate your preferred timeslot/s. Even just one hour would make a difference. She will then confirm the roster closer to the date.
