WHO WE ARE

Lesley Szwed - Lesley is a long time HP "campaigner", a former member of the now long since defunct Non Pedigree Development Association and through her position as Chairman and Show Manager of the Coventry & Leicester Cat Club, has been instrumental in introducing equal titles for household pets in the GCCF.

​

Carol Walker - Carol is another longstanding HP "campaigner" and served alongside Lesley on the Non Pedigree Development Association committee. Carol has shown non-pedigrees since 1994 and, for many years until his sad passing,  years, also showed a pedigree pet Selkirk Rex. Carol also occasionally  shows her pedigree Selkirks as well as still showing 3 non-pedigree pets. Carol is a regular HP table worker at shows, a volunteer show reporter, sending show results to Marcia Owen for the GCCF website, and is also a YES! mentor and an HP judge. She also serves on the committees of the Gwynedd Cat Club, the Selkirk Rex Cat Club and the North West Cat Club for her sins! Carol is also actively involved in fundraising for 3 small local cat charities/rescues with her cat, Spud the Cat With a Tash and has recently written a book about Spud's views on all sorts of things!

​

Carole Kemp - Carole is another of the original committee of the Non Pedigree Development Association.  She started showing non pedigrees then moved onto Norwegian Forest Cats, Birmans and Nebelungs before going back to the Non Pedigree section. She now also shows her Nebelung as a Pedigree Pet.  Carole is also a volunteer show reporter and photographer, sending photos up for the GCCF website, and is another YES! mentor and official photographer and HP judge.

​

Linda Hutcinson  - Linda was also one of the original NPDA committee members and founders and is also a longstanding HP "campaigner". Linda also shows non-pedigree and pedigree pets and is very active in the world of rescue, being closely involved with a local rescue.

​

Jayne Rogers -  Jayne is also known as Mrs pPurple and has been exhibiting cats since approx 2012 ish. She started off with 2 brothers, silver tabby/Siamese cross, the result of a very accidental mating !!!!!! For those of you who also showed around that time you may recall their names -  Duke Dipstick and Sir Sprocket. From having these delightful HP boys Jayne was encouraged to show and progressed into Maine Coons and Siamese and Balinese in the pedigree section. She is a self-confessed crazy cat lady but has also exhibited and judged Afghan Hounds and Chinese Cested toy dogs in her younger days as well as shownimg, breeding and judging guinea pigs ( cavies ) and has even shown chickens !!!! Jayne honestly believes that if you enjoy your hobby  you should give a little back hence her joining committees in whatever she shows. She is delighted to be on the Household Pet Club committee as this is where her showing career started.
