axolotl-danio Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 How many FNZAS junior members are there? Because I was thinking of writing an article for the simtronics junior cup but am unsure of how many others there were. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Define Junior please. I'm sure that the majority of people on here are really just little kids in big people's clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl-danio Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Define Junior please. I'm sure that the majority of people on here are really just little kids in big people's clothes. Most clubs have family fees, adult fees and junior fees. I am not sure what exactly the age range is but I am 14 and a junior member.

axolotl-danio Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 :bounce: :bounce: would the number of juniors affect you writing an article No I would still write one. I just wanted to know what the competition was like. And even if there were lots I doubt they would all write one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think a junior is classed as still at secondary school. There was only one junior member who has submitted articles for the past year, and that is joefish! We have three active junior members in our club, I will stir them up to make some competition for you! The Simtronics cup is a nice looking trophy to have on the mantelpiece, don't let Caryl hear that you won't write an article if you have too much competition, you may get into trouble!

phoenix44 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 under 16 I'd say? cause when youre 17 you dont want to be a junior any thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be the only one with a (J) for junior next to my name in the year book but now I know there are at least 5 (including me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 That would depend on how many articles he writes, LA, the more he writes, the more chances he has! Joefish! wrote two or three last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1CK Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I am a junior :bounce: but i am not in any club yet and my dad just figured out that he has a meeting on the last thursday of every month so i shall have to wait a whole month until i can finally join :evil: (after waiting for the last 3 months i am a itty bitty bit annoyed :evil: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I would like to point out that the Simtronics Cup for best junior article is only for juniors who belong to an affiliated FNZAS club! Being a junior in the forum is not enough. You may certainly still write and submit an article :bounce: but the cup is for actual FNZAS members only. It is hard to tell how many juniors we have exactly as some are signed up under a family membership. There are at least 18, possibly more, but I do not know their ages (some may be too young to write an article) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least 18, possibly more There were 6 at the KMAC meeting last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashzbetta Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 when are the articles due by? if i could sign up to a club soon i may still be able to write one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 What's this competition about? I was thinking about writhing an article for the aquarium world but I don't know what to write about :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 The competition, for junior FNZAS club affiliated members only, runs from AGM to AGM (June to June). It doesn't matter when I receive an article within that 12 months as it goes in the next magazine with available space. Magazines go out Feb, May , Aug and Nov. To be eligible for this 12 month period I would need the article by March 31st 2010 at the latest as that is the cut-off date for the May edition (the last before the AGM). As to what to write about - as long as it is aquatic related, just about anything goes. Remember photos are good! Have you set up a tank recently? How did you do it? Bred a fish? What sort? Tell us about the fish, what conditions they require, how you bred them etc. Had a plant flower out the top of the tank? What conditions did the plant require? Do you keep turtles or axolotls? Either write about some aspect of fish keeping you know, or have tried, or research a fish or plant etc that interests you. The junior who won this year wrote an article on breeding his celestial pearl danios. He also wrote about making a cave for his kribs. He has written about other species of fish too. Have you tried a bit of DIY with something? Built a filter? A tank background? The possibilities are endless. If you have an idea you aren't sure will be suitable, PM or email me about it and I will help all I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
