The show venue is the Westpac Trust Exhibition Hall which is next to the foyer beside the information centre. There are two main Carparks via Gate 1 and 2 ethier of them have the same distance of walking to venue bout 100mtrs :D . When you arrive come and see me and i am sure we can use the service entrance to venue as what we are doing for displays etc

It will be great to see you all here. Getting a little bit nervous hoping that i haven't missed anything as this is a first on this large scale for us. Container arrive safely from napier today and we are starting to set up show as from next tuesday. Aim to have all outer displays like national aquarium, ponds, reptilez, Doc, mahurangi tech, native fish displays , live tropical butterfly display , display tanks and get national stands ready by thrusday so then on friday the team can focus on all of us hobbyist to ensure that we do everything possible to keep fish in good health and help with benching fish etc ready for the doors to open next Saturady. The cover charge is only $2.00 there is a few raffles, you can catch your own goldfish, auction and prizgiving on sunday night, dinner on saturday night for only 25$ per head at ruakura clubrooms so there is plenty to do. Hamilton gardens also have some great theme gardens that are well worth a vist..

Anthoy the western bay club is over your way they are a keen group of fishkeepers.

Looking forward to seeing you all here next weekend

Just wanting to check what needs to be done if you want to be at the auction? I'm coming down on Sunday & hope to hang around for the auction but thought I'd better check if you need to register or anything? All sounds great and really looking forward to Sunday :P
