We are now leaving from shannons at7 mountbatten place dinsdale at 8am on Sunday

Everyone here in the Waikato club has got into the habit of bringing a plate to the meeting. It is also a chance to break the meeting eg First half cover happenings, hatch, match and dispatch, breeding certs have dinner then have a topic, guest speaker etc. I would like to see more interaction between clubs. I am going to organise a molly hunt in feburay as we have an executive meeting aswell in turangi. Just need to confirm dates then i will start a thread. Everyone will be welecome

Good idea guys having a small supper deafenily makes the meeting alot more informal and enjoyable

Thanks Shannon

Hi Wok Looks like the waikato club is venturing over the Bombays on Sunday the 3rd of December. We intend in visting the usual shops but are really keen on meeting a few of the Auckland club members. Let me know what you think Dave

Hi Malawiman Our club i think would be the closest based in Hamilton.We have a good number of hobbyist with a wide varitey of fishkeeping interest Our next meeting is this Sunday at the Waikato bridge club clubrooms, 54 brookfield st , Ham east from 6pm.We do understand that due to travelling that meetings can be hard to get to butmeetings are only a small part of the club. Thereare many other benefits ofbelonging to the FNZAS eg Aquarium world, breeding scheme, discounts atsome shops but also you meet lots of people that share our hobby. Dave Dalziel President of the Waikato Aquarium Soc

This month we are having a open discusion about one of our favourite aspects of the hobby breeding fish.We are going to cover selecting fish, coditioning,Triggering , raising fry and anything elseour group can think of. Iam looking forwardto poling the knowledge we have together for an interesting night. Thereis also going to be a lucky number draw pot luck dinner and the libary. I have aranged for our fishshow venue exbition hall at the Hamilton gardens to be open at 3.30pm on sunday efore our club meeting.This is so members of the club who are keen on being part of the national fishshow next year can have a good look a the venue and put our ideas in place. We can go for a coffe somewhere before the meeting Dave

I will be contacting waikato members in the next couple of days tosee who is coming over. Asi said in previouspost i have met peterand he is a very knowledgable hobbyist so lets make the most of this unqine oppinutinity

I am sure that a few of our waikato members will travel over the hill. Hadpeter speak at one of our meetings about 4yrs ago heis very knowledgeable and well worth meeting. Lookforwardto seeing him again Dave

Hope you have a great meeting. As Shannon said there will be prizes handed out for last months tank crawl. Unfortanley i can't bethere due to work commitments.

just a bump about trip over the bombays on Sunday

Yep they will be added

Nice photos Shannon

At last nights meeting there was alot of interest in the club heading over the bombays visting shops and hopefully a couple of breeders. Well this is happening on Sunday the 17th of september. We are hiring a minivan at 15$ per seat. Leaving my place at 8:30am this will give us a early start as there is quite alot of travelling to do. Some of the suggestions are Jansens, Hollywoods, four seasons, discusguru and i am sure there are a few more that would be added.If you have any other ideas on places that a worth a vist while we areup that way please let us know. If you are keen on joining the club on this trip please Pm me

Tanksman can you please PM me with who else was there even just car type and i will personally contact them. You will enjoy the new venue

I think our FNZAS cards shouldn't beto far away KK but i will follow it up. You are doing a awsome job on the newsletters and don't youever think that it isn't appreciated

The one thing that i would like to ask tanksman is Did you get a newsletter and yearbook. If so did you read it???.Belive it or not we do all we can to keep club members informed of club happennings and i do not belive that since we have capated you you should be getting all forms of commucation. Yes maybe we could have put something at the old venue. I should not have to explain why we have got a new venue apart that the club is rapidly growing and there are good benefits for the club. Lastly your comment about what you brought at the auction i have told you that if you are unhappy with it that we will give you your money back but there are also other members that are interested in your purchase if you are that unhappy about it . Lastly recepits are usually given out at meetings so i hope to see you at the next one so you can get one
