Special Moments
This year saw the national proceedings move back to Melbourne Jean Crockart (United Kingdom) and Will Thompson (CFA) were visitors, and Jean became patron of the ACF Judges Guild, which held its inaugural meeting. The ACF Yearbook (begun in 1978) advertised its rates at $75 for a full page, $45 for a half page, and $30 for a quarter page (Which makes today’s prices especially good value!) Judging ran overtime, and there was some confusion about who won Best Exhibit, but the Best Longhair Kitten was a Chinchilla, Nepeta Beau Brummell, while Best Longhair Cat was a tortoiseshell and white, Sundown Calico Princess.
The Best Longhair Neuter was another Chinchilla, Calo Jasmine.
