ryanjury Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The Auckland fish keepers association is running a stand at the pet expo over the above dates and we are looking for as many volunteers as possible, even if you are not a club member and can only offer a few hours just let me know. There will be a meeting this Sunday to plan things PM me for an address. The plan is: Fri 26th 12-7 move all tanks into expo venue, fill tanks and get them all setup. This will be a big day) Sat 27th 10-5 Man the stand Sun 28th 10-5 Man the stand Sun 28th 5-8 Break it all down - This is also hard work to do. We are looking for volunteers to help move tanks, setup tanks, even lend a few plants/fish to help us have a good display there. Also looking for volunteers to man our stand and talk about fishy related stuff, and hand out club flyers etc, we are hoping to get enough volunteers to have 2 people on at all times (to keep each other company) and hopefully only a few hours over the weekend to spread the work. If anyone can help in any capacity at all or offer any suggestions then let me know, this is hopefully going to be a big membership drive for the club/FNZAS, we are looking to offer discounted membership for new members for the weekend. And we are hoping to setup some good display tanks and entice new people into the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-obstacle Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 So I got the email regarding this today and noticed it's in August not July so I'm not away. Long story short - I'm an idiot :facepalm: I'm in for setup and breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short - I'm an idiot :facepalm: I'm in for setup and breakdown. lol nube (I did have to check I didn't actually put July first..) Sweet that would be awesome man, the break down is going to be the biggest job because it all has to be out in a very short period of time.. But I guess that is just ripping fish and water out, setup has to be done a bit more carefully especially for those farting around with planted tanks because it has to look nice..
