The Northern Cavy Fanciers Pen Card Competition

How is it run

The NCF pen Card Competition has been running for many years. The club grants ‘support’ to any cavy club asking for it, your local shows. This support comes in the form of Pen Cards, One each for Best Self, Best Non Self, Best RV, Best Juvenile and finally Best Juvenile RV. Members are asked to return these cards to the address on the back along with an A5 size stamped addressed envelope. In return they receive a Certificate of Merit, and are entered into the competition.

 The Actual competition runs from January 1st to December the 31st of each year, the winner is the member who has collected…..and SENT IN...most pen cards. There is an award for the adults and one for the Juveniles too. The award takes the form of a Trophy and a cash prize, £10 for the Adult competition and £5 for the Juveniles, so you could buy a few bags of feed……….or even a HUGE box of chocolates. So you see it IS worth sending those cards in. 

I am aware that some people would like to take part in the competition but haven't the space for the certificates. This isn't a problem, all I ask is that you send in the pen card with a note on saying ‘No Certificate required’ I will ensure your card is entered into the competition.

Also be aware that it is NOT just clubs within the NCF boundaries that can be given ‘support’ by the NCF, we recognise that we have members that live in all parts of the country, and also that members do travel quite a distance. So ask YOUR local club secretary to apply, all they need to do is send an s.a.e. to myself with details of the show (s) concerned and then hand them out on the day
