The London show opened it’s doors for the private view on warm August day. The show looked wonderful and everyone enjoyed a glass of champagne as well as the chance to see so much wonderful cat art.

Kay thanked Jillian and the staff at Llewellyn Alexander for their hard work on our behalf and presented the society’s gifts to show our appreciation. There was a beautiful flower arrangement for Jillian and chocolates for the staff and of course a gift for David too.
