Im deafenily going to be there and will be encourging a couple of other waikato members to come along

yes it is

as per always thanks caryl for doing such an awsome job producing another issue of the aquarium world

The show is over the tanks are packed ready for the next club to host the next national fishshow I would personally like to thank all the members of the Waikato Aquarium Soc who have put in alot of time and effort in making the national fishshow as sucessfull as it was. The judges who worked really hard to score all 377 entries , our sponsors and exbitors who set up some awsome displays and finally those FNZAS members who entered as if we didn't have entries it wouldn't of been a fishshow. I must admit that i am still a bit blown away off the amount of people that came thought just shows that our hobby of fishkeeping is still going strong so having the ocassional fishsow deafenily promotes the hobby and clubs which is primarly what the fishshow was about. Going to relax for a week or two, three or four but agian thank you for your support Dave

Today is a day that myself and the waikato aquarium Soc have been looking forward too for a long time. No turning back now The show starts today from 10am till 5pm Dinner at Ruakura from 7pm Sunday 21/10/07 Show open 10am till 5pm Prizing starts at 6pm Auction after prizgiving from around 7pm Last day of show Monday Show open from 10am till 2:30pm Debenching from 2:30pm See you all at the hamilton Gardens Dave

Sorry mate entries are close but i am sure you will enjoy what we have put together for the fishshow See you there

The NZKA killifish stand is going to be dedecated to Alan and his ture passion he had for his killifish at next weekends National fishshow. I wish i could of made it to say goodbye but can promise that i will do my best at making the national fishshow just how you would have liked it.
