Welcome to our Summer Show by the seaside!

The first year the Club had 20 members, the second one already 60, and at the moment we have about 2300 members in the Club. SUROK organized its first international Cat Show in April, 1961: at this show 43 cats were present - of which 19 came from other countries than Finland!. During the last years the Club has organized four International Cat Shows yearly, in each participating about 600 cats.
