JUDGES PROFILEAnne has always lived with and loved cats and then, when married in 1966, her husband bought her a pair of Siamese seal-pointed neuters. Anne went to her first cat show in 1972 and thought the best job in the world would be a cat judge! Anne gained her prefix, Beaumaris, in late 1972 and started stewarding in earnest. Anne became a Full Judge of Siamese in 1986, just loved judging and finally became an all-breed GCCF judge in February 2010.Anne is a retired Head of Music and Expressive Arts at Secondary Level and enjoys Baroque Music. Anne has bred Siamese, Foreign Whites, British SH, Somalis, Birmans, Egyptian Maus and Selkirk Rex.
