Tomorrow the judges seminar will be live-streamed. It is an interesting programme with a range of talks but if you are interested in the CORIN mutations there is a number of talks about this.
There is also a talk about the coming EU regulations on animal welfare, though this initially may not seem of interest as the UK is outside of EU. It is likely that we will see similar regulations proposed in the UK, in the next few years.

NL Mundikat requested to present a proposal off the agenda to raise money for the Feline Fund to fund research into the health implications of breeds to help bring evidence based research to the table where countries are banning breeds.
