The changes to the competition announced at the beginning of the year have made this year's competion the closest-contested and most exciting yet. 

The members' Points Competition runs from January to December each year. Points are awarded at Stock Shows and at other Points Shows throughout the year, roughly one per month. At Stock Shows, points can also be won in the classes of the host club, so long as the Agouti judge is an NACC panel judge.

There are categories for each colour of Agouti, for Solid and for Juvenile.

Points are awarded 5 for 1st, 3 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd.

The Points Competition Organiser is Pete Holdaway, to whom any questions should be directed. Requests from clubs to host Points Shows may be sent to either Steve or Pete.
