LIMITED EDITION SILVER ANNIVERSARY MUG
To
celebrate the club’s Silver Anniversary, we have had special commemorative
mugs produced especially for the club. Made from porcelain, the front features a
beautiful colour illustration of a Maine Coon head, the reverse has wording to
celebrate our silver anniversary and on the underside is the club’s logo. They
are gold edged, top and bottom. To protect them during transit, they are
carefully packed in a specially designed heavyweight cardboard box.
The
photo really doesn’t do this mug justice and the illustration looks much more
impressive in the flesh. First available at the Maine Coon Cat Club Show, they
are now on general sale through the club.
For
more information, please contact David Howe (treasurer) on 0114 2694476 or
e-mail him at dhowe@btinternet.com
