cat Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 I am from the Palmerston North area. I used to belong to the Waikato Club and am about to join the Palmerston North Club. I have only just got my tanks up and going again after nearly two years without them. It is so nice to just sit and watch them for hours. Whatever did I do without them??? Arrrgggghhh ... yes ... housework etc I was told of this site from a gentleman I purchased a book of Trade Me and I am very glad he did. It is a wonderful site from what I have managed to get a look at and I am looking forward to spending more time looking around (even though I am supposed to working). Look forward to chatting with some of you good people some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Hi there Cat, Glad you found our friendly forum. Forget the housework... Think fish.... just fish I'm always on TradeMe buying something or other to do with fish.. Great site for bargains, if you get in at the right moment that is. Lock the Vac in the cupboard and tell us all about those fish of yours. One thing is for certain, you don't get bored when you start reading all these posts. Great to have you with us Cat.

Caryl Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Welcome Cat, What's housework? :lol: Fish are far more interesting. Good to hear you are planning to join the PN club. Hope to see you here often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat Posted October 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Thanks for the welcome. Nice to know people take an interest in what you have to say, even if it is nothing important. I think I bought the book of you Pegasus! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Hi Cat, Could have been a book the missus sold, but if it's the one I'm thinking of, then you are the lady who's son keeps Cichlids. We don't charge extra for Son's and Mum's, so why not let him join ? Real glad you decided to join up, and although some of the threads (posts) seem a bit tangled at first, you'll soon find your way around and the tangles will disappear Lots of great info here if you untangle the knots. It gets a bit confusing if an old thread is opened after being idle for a few weeks or months, but I'm sure you'll sort it out. My regards to your son Bill (Pegasus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat Posted October 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Was only a few weeks ago and you didnt know about it!!! Was only me but my son does enjoy looking at the fish but at 18 he is more intertested in the other fish in the sea rather than tanks, if you know what I mean. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Hi Cat, He He... I remember. Be a few years before he gets over the "other fish" but at least he's looking at your's, which might spark his interest. Keep us informed about those eggs of yours.

Goldie Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Welcome cat 8) MMMMmmm I should be doing the housework however the forum addiction has hit and I just had to come on line to see the lastest news n views. What sort of fish do you have in those tanks???? what is the size of the tanks and are they in your lounge or do you have a 'fish room'. Great to greet another fishy fanatic.

cat Posted October 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Have three tanks going at present. Smallest being three foot and two 4 1/2 footers. I have large and small angels, hoplos, a large upside down cat, heaps of bristlenose catfish, gouramis, peral danios, neons, emerald eyes, rummy noses, glolites, dwarf gouramis, ummmmm....., bronze cats and guppies (lots of guppies!!!!!). We have also just purchased two nice discus to go in yet another tank!! I am not putting that tank up for a week or so yet as cant decide what furniture I need to remove from our lounge to fit another tank in :lol: Think I should consider moving to a bigger house!

Pegasus Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Hi Cat, You is one addicted feline And here was I thinking you were new to all this and only had a few fish. Bigger house (or less furniture) seems a good deal With all that lot to look after it's a wonder you didn't find us sooner Regards, Bill (Pegasus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat Posted October 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Like I said before .. I have only had the tanks up and going for a few months but we have spent every waking minute (when not working) at fish shops between Wellington and Wanganui!!! I have spent so much money. Wonder how long before they actually sell your house 'cause the mortgage aint been paid????? :lol: I dont have my computer working at home anymore (R.I.P) so am using the one at work and I have only just managed to get on the net for long enough to find you all (without being caught!) :evil: Can anyone provide me with any information/internary on the weekend in Napier? We are going to be up there for the weekend and we would really like to come along (hubby thought he was going away for a quiet weekend!!!). Who do I ring or where are people meeting etc so we can catch up. I remember how great it was going to the Napier club a few years ago and really enjoying the tank crawl, so would really enjoy catching up with people. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Look under the General section for FNZAS Clubs then see the thread called Labour Weekend in Napier. All the details you need are in there. The auction is for club members only so you had better join the PN group fast! :lol: Andrew Broome (in this forum) is the contact for the PN club.

cat Posted October 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Already got the form filled out and will be delivered in person this evening! I am cutting it close I know but better late than never I say. Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 I don't think they'll be that strict if you show up and aren't technically a club member yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbroome Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Cat said... > Already got the form filled out and will be delivered in person this > evening! I'll be home by the time you finish work and will take your money (since PNAS is without a treasurer again at the moment). You can trust me My cell phone is 025 6868773 and it looks like I *may* be able to be in Napier for the day on saturday afterall... Andrew.

cat Posted October 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 I didnt think I would have too much hassle with someone wanting to take my money!! Thanks Andrew. Did you manage to find some accommodation or are you just going for the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat Posted October 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 ps ... if you need a treasurer I could volunteer (if interested) I am very trustworthy ... really ... :evil: Seriously ... if you need any help, please let me know. The club is just coming out of recess so the more hands that can help it up and going the better. I would be annoyed to find it gone again as not many other clubs within easy drive/reach from me. (no offence to any other clubs but who wouldnt want to belong to the one closest?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 A volunteer for club treasurer Andrew! Grab them quick!!!!!!! :lol: Introduce yourself at Napier Cat. Perhaps, during the pot luck tea, we can ask all those belonging to the Fishroom to raise their hands and we could meet each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat Posted October 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Excellent idea Caryl. I am sure people would all like to meet. You have an idea of how people should look based on their personality, conversations etc and I have never meet anyone that looks like I think they should :lol: (I have a such a strange imagination) so unless you introduce yourself I will never pick you out from a crowd!

This has been noted and recorded for later use ;-) Actually, Cat, the special AGM to sort things out is on October 30 at 3 Oriana Place in PN (off the bottom end of Tremaine Ave). Remind me this evening and I'll give you the appropriate bit of paper. > Introduce yourself at Napier Cat. Cat and I have, of course, already met. But, yes, it's a good idea for the Fishroom people to get together in Napier at some stage, it'll be the only chance before conference... Andrew.
