jude Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Congratulations everyone. I just called in to the show and its humming. Seemed to be plenty of cars, more people arriving just as I left, and beautiful fish. And thanks to Tsarmina for delivering flyers. I got one in my letterbox and I spoke to someone else who had come along because of the flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave+Amy Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 there were plenty of leopard fish - the tiny ones were so cute! The raffles were pretty decent - after going to the show we had to take Dave's lil sis to Billaney's house 'cos she wanted swordtails :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think they look like finrot! :oops: :lol: The show has been great so far and well done the organisers for putting on such a fantastic effort! The "Wainui liquid sun" hasn't stopped people coming in to enjoy the fish. :lol: :bounce: See you all tomorrow! :bounce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spink Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I would like to take the time to thank all of those who have made the weekend especially fun and worthwhile for us all. Thank you to the members of the committee who made all the arrangements and got us up and running... Thank you to all those people who came and helped up set up, bench fish, sell raffle tickets, talk to the public and promote the club and the hobby..... Thank you to all the people who may not have been there but were supportive of us in other ways...sent baking, hosted judges, provided food, entertainment and company, went out to grab us lunch and coffee supplies, and made sure we all survived the weekend.... Thank you to the judges and judges aids for actually judging the fish - without you it would just be a show and not nearly half as much fun...... Thank you to all the club members who supported the event by either helping or entering fish... Thank you to those people who supported the auction, either by buying items themselves, buying on behalf of members of the public, and for encouraging people outside of the club to come along and grab some top quality fish...... Thank you to all those members and their kids who came along this afternoon to help with the most tedious job in the world, washing and drying 200 tanks!..... have I missed anyone? Lastly, one more person to thank... THANK GOD that it's all over!!!!!!! We had a great weekend and I personally really enjoyed myself, and I know many more of you feel the same - WELL DONE!!!!!

Spink Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I think once most of us have had at least 24 hours to recover, we might get some pics up!
