It is with much sadness that we advise that last Wednesday Alan Norris lost everything in fires. Not only did the fire destroyed his house and property but a transformer outside the house exploded and went through the roof of the house and set the inside on fire.

 

Alan is a group 1 and 2 Judge with GCCFSA , President of the Cat Fancier’s Society and he has bred Persians , Devon Rex and Siamese. He has supported GCCFSA clubs by judging over many years. He is also a dog Judge and a horse Judge breeding both pugs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Ponies. He showed cats, dogs and ponies and Judged Horses at Adelaide Royal Show

 

He is staying with friends in Gawler who are supporting him with organising clothes, insurance and Centrelink.

At this time Governing Council is accepting cash donations for Alan as he comes to grips with the situation and makes decisions about his future.
