599.0. "National Cat Week" by SUBURB::ODONNELLJ () Thu Sep 09 1993 17:54

    According to my local newspaper, the week 20th-26th September has been
    declared as the first National Cat Week in the UK. 
    The local branch of the Cats Protection League say they have a number
    of activities planned for this. 
    
    Sounds interesting...

	Which paper? I'll be picking up the Newbury Weekly News, and the
	Reading Chronicle tonight.

	Also, the cats protection league has a 40-cat foster home just
	along the road from me, which I often take a pack of tinned food to.

	If you have any more info, could you post it please?

	Thanks,
	Heather

    It was either the Midweek Chronicle or the Reading Evening Post, as I
    had both delivered yesterday. I'll post anything else I can find out
    about it.

    There was another article in last week's Reading Chronicle which made
    things a little clearer.
    The National Cat Week is being used by the Cats Protection League to
    publicise the plight of homeless cats and, hopefully, find good homes
    for as many as possible. So far they are organising a car-boot sale and
    have a stall at a fete, one of these events is at Burghfield and I must
    refer back to the paper for the dates (sorry, rather disorganised this
    week!). They were asking for anyone with ideas or who could help them
    man the phones to give them a call.
    
    Martin Black said that the Cambridge branch are organising a fayre, the 
    entry fee is either 20p or a tin of Whiskas cat food. 
    
    I hope it becomes an annual event.

    The fete mentioned is the Earley Carnival, which takes place on
    Saturday. I'll try to go along, but it's our Church's harvest festival
    on Sunday and I have to do all the flower arrangements on the Saturday,
    so I may not get chance.
    The Boot sale is at Burghfield Bridge on Sunday. It doesn't have a
    start time, but I'm sure both events will be on this week's community
    events page.
