Cats Rebrand 2011!
Over summer, Cats closed for two weeks while it had a make-over and re-brand.
The Cats, Gear and Facilities Team did an outstanding job renovating, with every member of the team involved in the design and labour to transform the shop. Everything in the shop: walls, doors, shelves, units etc has been recycled and re-painted, the only new item being the floor (out with the old green carpet!). See photos on our Facebook page as the shop underwent its transformation!
