Events and Activities
COBS CH Redlynch Silver Slipper (Satin Silver Agouti - Kolora)
We welcome new members and fresh ideas for making cavy showing an enjoyable activity for all members.
We generally hold Breed Standard classes and Pet classes on the fourth Sunday of every month between February and October. We tend not to hold shows between November and January to avoid putting stress on our animals during the hotter months (unless we can source an air-conditioned venue). However the Society still holds social functions during this time.
Our club runs the Cavy Cafe for members and visitors to buy morning tea and light lunches. We also have the Cavy Corner Shop where members and visitors can buy cavy related products including food, grooming equipment and health products.
Our trophy table varies from month to month. There are trophies, ribbons, rosettes or gift prizes awarded at each show. We have been fortunate over the past couple of years to attract generous sponsorship. This year our major sponsors are Back-2-Nature Bedding and Laucke Mills.
Shows start at 9.00 am with both the Standard Breed classes and Pet classes. On the day entries of Standard Breed exhibits are taken between 8.30 and 8.45 am and attract a higher entry fee than if they have been entered by the closing date. On the day entries of Pets are taken at the same time. Normally Standard Breed entries close on the Wednesday before the show at 8 pm, unless otherwise advised.
Our club regularly holds fancy dress competitions and other special events that are especially geared towards our younger members.
