Bump. Just a reminder that there are no further meetings planned for this club.

Well we have tried but there is no point in bashing your head against a brick wall. The first meeting had 11 people. All keen. The second had 2 people. The third had seven including 6 previous members. Nobody was interested in taking on positions in the club so it was decided that future meetings at this stage would just be along the lines of a social get together, with the hope that a club would grow out of this. Finally our first social meeting held on Tuesday this week. Surprise, surprise 1 person turned up with 2 apologies. Debby and I have decided that we have more to do with our time than hang around home on a Tuesday night in the forlorn hope that somebody might take it into their heads to come along and eat the supper we have prepared. Therefore there will be no further meetings at our place until further notice.

Just a reminder that our next get together is this tuesday night, 7.30pm 21 Maire Street Inglewood. All welcome.

Well we had our second meeting last night. What a dissapointment!. Thanks to Muzza and Tony for turning up. After the enthusiasm last meeting I thought we were on the way, but only having 2 people turn up doesnt bode well for the future. I am hoping that it was just a case of forgetfulness or maybe the result of a long weekend with school holidays as well. Not to give up easily we will try again on Tuesday 12th May 7.30pm 21 maire Street Inglewood. Please if tuesday night is not suitable let me know. Come on folks, mark this date in your diary

Fortunately the rain stopped but due to the damage it had done we have found it neccesary to rebuild the ponds completely. Luckily these ponds, which had to be built in a hurry, were going to be made more permanent when time permitted. Time is now.

Come on people. Only four replies so far. I am sure there are many more of you out there who would like to meet other fishies and share notes, experience, etc. REMEMBER THIS IS NOT COMMITTING YOU TO A CLUB

Where is the fish to be picked-up from in New plymouth. Dont need address just suburb will do

It is proposed to hold an informal get together at 21 Maire Street Inglewood Tuesday 10th March 7.30pm to gauge the interest in reviving the local club. This is a no obligation meeting, more a "meet and greet" session. Please advise if you wish to attend and please bring your friends. Phone (06) 7567 521

I dont want to hi-jack this forum but I would like to anounce an informal get together at 21 Maire Street Inglewood Tuesday 10th March 7.30pm to guage the interest in reviving the local fish club. This is as much a "meet and greet" as anything else. An indication of those likely to attend would be appreciated. Phone (06) 7567 521

Pleased to say that we managed to save the whole lot. If you had seen the area that they were spread over and under you would realise that this was quite some achievement. Just to hijack this forum: we are proposing to have an informal get together at 21 Maire Street Inglewood on Tuesday 10th March 7.30pm to guage the interest in restarting the local fish club. This is a no obligation meeting and as much a "greet and meet" as anything else. an indication of anybody likely to attend would be appreciated. Phone (06) 7567 521.

It is a big worry at the moment. The rain is still falling after we have already had 120mm in the last 24hrs. I am going out just about every 10 minutes to check. Getting paranoid :lol: :lol: :lol:

It has been raining heavily non-stop since last night here in the Naki. Finally got a break in the rain late this afternoon so chose a quick moment to go and feed my outside pond fish. Walked out to the site to find that the rain had totally undermined one of my aboveground ponds and one side wall had collapsed. Fifty odd goldfish flapping around in the rain and what puddles had formed. Checked another pond and found that undermined as well and that some of the fish had got in underneath. Caught all the flappers, put them in a spare pond, then frantically pulled the other pond apart to rescue what fish I could. So far touch wood I am only down 2 ponds and possibly 1 fish that may not survive. Looks like I am going to have a few very busy days ahead of me rebuilding 2 ponds.

All three sell live fish. I would reccomend in order 3, 1, 2.

There are three pet shops in Taranaki. 1. Critters. Mangorei Road ex Devon Street (under new ownership) 2. Pet essentials Richmond Centre Egmont Street 3. Bzone aquarium supplies Main Street Waitara. NZ Post only redirect mail if the service is paid for by the addressee and only for as long a term as is paid.

I have just purchased a "silage pit" cover from local farm supplies. 5 x 50 metres $100. gives lots of scope and is far superior to any pond liner you might buy.
