                            Lynne Sherer (Memphis Tennessee) TICA Judge

                            Lynne has had cats most of her life, as a child she was always finding strays
                            and bringing them home. Her first cat was a black a Persian (Mixture!)
                            which was then followed by a Himalayan Persian. A few years later, she
                            read an article about the Maine Coon Cat and knew it was the breed she
                            wanted. Getting her first kitten in 1973 followed with a breeding pair in
                            1975 with her first litter being born in 1976.

                            Lynne's cattery name is "Calicoon" not because she bred calicos but
because she lived in California when she first registered her cattery name (Cali-Coon) She has been
breeding Maine Coons continuously and showing them since 1976. She also was owned by an Oriental
Shorthair and several British Shorthairs having bred one litter of British.

After breeding and showing for 10 years, she became a TICA Judge in 1986. Having had the
opportunity of judging in many different countries she enjoys seeing the similarities and of cause the
differences in the breeds compared to where she lives.

                           Robbie entered the cat fancy in 1997, breeding Scottish Folds and British
                           Shorthairs under the prefix Glencairn and later Duart. He gained his Group
                           4 license with QFA Inc. in 2010.

that he undertakes in various aspects of show management.

and the Chief Steward for the Sydney Royal Easter, and since 2012 has taken an active involvement

the latter position both exciting and challenging, which involves the co-ordination with other cat
associations in Australia and New Zealand to share and invite judges from international associations.

standing on the world stage. He joined FCCQ in late 2017 and he is looking forward to long

                            David Scadden NZCF

                            My wife Jacqui & I have been retired from the breeding game after breeding
                            Birmans under the Magwai prefix since 1985.
                            We both originate in the Wairarapa in the sunny South Eastern part of the
                            North Island of New Zealand.

                            We moved to Rotorua, in the Bay of Plenty in 2008. One of the major
                            tourist destinations in the country, the scenery is striking, and we are very
                            central to other cities and beautiful destinations.

Our other great love are our Bengals, which we originally imported into the country in 1996 and bred
successfully under the LapLepid prefix for a number of years.

We have three children who have now left home and two grandsons to keep us busy.
We have a number of desexed Birmans, Bengals and a Maine Coon to keep us well and truly occupied.
Other interests include good wine, genealogy, music and collecting and restoring Ford Capri's.

I started judging in 1992 and reached the status of All Breeds in 2005, learning a great deal about all
aspects of felines along the way.

I really enjoy judging and try to talk to and educate the spectators as much as possible on the various
breeds. I feel that a cat show has to be entertaining and informative. I enjoy meeting fellow cat fanciers
from around NZ and other parts of the world.

I have had the privilege of judging all three National shows in Australia and New Zealand over the few
years and would love to be able to judge felines in other countries in the world.
