Rosettes and trophies

The society provides rosettes for each show in the club colours (purple, lilac, kingfisher and navy). Each rosette has a centre printed with the society logo. Rosettes are awarded for each variety class (to either the best adult or the best kitten of that variety), each pet class, and 1st to 4th in the supreme and pet challenges. There is also a stud buck and junior exhibitor rosette for the variety classes and a small furry and special pet awards for the pet classes. The agility competition has its own rosette. Because we award 1st to 4th in the variety challenge we do not award a best opposite age rosette.

Trophies are awarded only at our annual cup show in October. The best example of each variety is awarded a marble slab with a NERS logo which can be kept by the exhibitor. The marble keepsakes are sponsored by our members each year. Marble keepsakes are also awarded for each of the challenge places, best small furry, best rescue and best condition. Many of these also have an accompanying trophy which is kept for the year (awarded to members only), but must be returned before the next cup show. All of the major awards have space for annual engraving.

The society rosettes and trophies are managed by a committee support worker. If you have any queries about the NERS rosettes or trophies, or would like to sponsor a marble keepsake (cost approximately £2.50) please contact our rosette and trophy officer.
