ryanjury Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hope to see more people at this meeting! If you live in Auckland then try and come along and meet some new fishkeepers it is a good night and you might actually learn something new or meet someone interesting.. If transport is an issue we have people driving from all over Auckland attending meetings so just let me know and we will see what we can arrange..

ryanjury Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 How do you join and how much does it cost? It costs $30 to join the club ($20 for juniors), this includes affiliation with the FNZAS (more info on what the FNZAS does here http://www.fnzas.org.nz/?page_id=2) a subscription for the aquarium world magazine (http://www.fnzas.org.nz/?page_id=351) and club membership. Most members find that their membership fees cost them nothing when they consider the discounts they get at most of the stores in Auckland. You don't even have to attend every meeting to join really, this website is also being upgraded to include members only areas too. How to join just let me know and I will happily pass on the clubs bank account details, you are always welcome to come along to a meeting or 2 and see if you like the club before joining.

ryanjury Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Too late to take kiddies with you? Yeah probably would be, meetings are from 7.30 and usually go until 9.30.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrudd Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Yeah probably would be, meetings are from 7.30 and usually go until 9.30.. That would put my kiddies in bed at ten the night cause I live out in Beachlands. I suppose once a month is not that bad, will talk to the boss when he gets home from night shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 So do you all sit around in a circle and say 'my name is _____ and I'm a fishaholic'? And do you have chocolate biscuits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 We are trying to get away from the whole fish keeping meetings being boring.. So definitely open to suggestions on things to do if you have any! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'd love to come this time but I'm on solo parent duty for the week so it'd be a bit too much of a mission. I'm still yet to make it to one of these meetings though so I'd better make sure I'm available next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 You could always do what some of the other clubs do, have meetings at member's homes. Then you get to see their tanks and have people around who can keep the little'uns entertained... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 There is always the potential of that Zev, however with Auckland being the size it is we have to keep things relatively central, as it is we have members who have to travel 30-45min to get to meetings if we move the meeting to someone elses house 30 mins away they have to travel for ages across Auckland and it makes for a big night We are looking at these options though and it would save us on paying for the venue..

Adrienne Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I've got 5 young bristlenose around the 3cm+ mark looking for new homes if any Auckland member coming to the meeting tonight would like to take them off my hands - no cost. The parents were both brown bn however I do suspect that somewhere down the line a golden may have been in the mix. Nice looking bn. PM or email me before 6pm if you would like them and I'll bring them along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I also have 2 sparkling gourami to bring if anyone wants them? No charge but they need to go to a tank where they will not be overwhelmed by fish that are too much bigger than them. They are good with small schooling fish such as tetra or pygmy cories etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
