Spink Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 For those of you who don't know, Caryl Simpson is the lovely lady who puts together the Aquarium World Magazine. There is an awful lot of effort that goes in to producing such a wonderful magazine - organizing articles, layout, printing, advertising, putting together, bagging, addressing and posting - all of which Caryl does a lot of BY HERSELF. Luckily she has a supportive family and friends to help put the mag together ready to be delivered to all you fishy people. For all the effort it takes, Caryl also finds herself in the position of often not having enough articles to fill up the magazine. This means Caryl frequently has to come up with an idea and write the articles to fill in the gap herself. That's on top of having a life outside the magazine. So I just want to say BIG UPS TO CARYL!!! Caryl, without you we would not have a magazine at all, so I would like to say a personal Thank You for all your hard work. To everyone else out there - why haven't you written an article for the magazine? Many of you are full of knowledge and information that you share freely over the forum - why not turn that in to an article for the Aquarium World? You'd be surprised how quickly you can write 500 words, and if you include a photo or picture, you can get away with writing a bit less! So why not take the plunge and give Caryl a hand - write about something you know about, an experience you've had, a fish book you like, plants, fish - the possibilities are endless! Give it a go. Otherwise, Caryl will go nuts from the endless dreams of fish magazines, and we will all be left without a good kiwi fish magazine to read! PLEASE!!! Save Caryl and save our magazine!!!

Caryl Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 :oops: Thanks for that spink and thank you for your stellar efforts so far! (and your article Barrie) Don't forget, to attend next year's conference you must produce an article for the Aquarium World (in lieu of registration) or there will be no accommodation for you at Rings Beach, Coromandel.
