Bruce Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi Everyone I talked about Hawkes Bay Holding another Fish Expo in one of the other topics, well its now official We will be having another Fish Expo as we did in October 2001 (Yes it was nearly 2 years ago) Date 25-26 September Location Seahorse Farm - Awatoto Road - Napier There will be a National Fish Show held as well (It has been quite a few years since the last one) Cost Yes there will be a entry cost, this is under discussion at present Accomodation We will endeavour to use the accomodation at Hinepare (Hostel Type Accomodation) which is very reasonable, but limited. Letters will go out to all clubs within the next month with more detailed information. This Website will also be updated Auction, Yes there will be an Auction held :-) This will be on the Saturday Night, however. No fish sold at Auction that are part of the Fish show will be able to be picked up until the Show closes on Sunday If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to ask Best Regards Bruce Wells President HBAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 I will pick you up TeeCee on our way through to Blenheim . Oh yes great time to look at 100's 100's fish. The ghost knife was awesome sight. Bristlenoses for mmiles and the betta splendas were also so many and great range. Not to mention all the bits n pieces such as tanks, equipment and those bags of goodies that went up for auction. Great time to have a clear out and also bring in some cash to spend on more fish etc. count me in Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisha Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Im keen to car pool matthew. But need to join the local club first. Do you know when aucklands next meeting is held? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Alisha, you don't have to belong to a club to go to the auction. You have to be an affiliated member to enter any fish in the show, but at some times there are "open" entries, when anyone can enter. Could always pay just $10 and join the NZKA.

Bruce Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Alisha, you don't have to belong to a club to go to the auction. You have to be an affiliated member to enter any fish in the show, Hi Everyone Yes you do need to be a member of the FNZAS to attend the auction. The auction is not open to the general public. Its a good opportunity for those who havent joined a local club to do so :-) Cheers /Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Sure Fish can be sent up to Napier. For those unable to attend there are a couple of options 1: Send them with someone who will be making the trip, looks as though there are people coming from all corners of NZ so talk to your fellow club members and talk to them nicely or 2: Courier them to the HBAS, (Contact for this to be advised) The interest is looking pretty good, hopefully we will have an overabundance of fish for the show. /Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 HI Caryl, so I see, have posted a reply on this, looks though they have changed their minds since they were contacted, unfortunate but we will have to carry on with Kennedy Park, Arataki etc. Will do some homework over the weekend and come up with some more options for you all. /Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
