records.

Show Manager to pay the Club a fine up to $100.00 US
for each infraction for non-compliance.
-
If the Exhibitor/Owner refuses to pay the assessed
fine for any rule infraction, the Club has the right

non-compliance with these procedures and rules may
ban them from visiting or entering any cats at

will be asked to leave the venue for the rest of
the show. No refunds will be paid by the club
for any unattended judging rings.
- The Club is not liable for any
actions of any exhibitor or spectator at a sponsored
show.
