Place: The Harmonie German Club - 49 Jerrabomberra Avenue, Narrabundah

First of all sorry for the late notice but the whole of the committee have head high with work commitments, I guess something has to pay for our fish habits *HAHA*. This month we're gettin' out the ugh boots, slippers and hot chocolate , with marshmallows... and have another attempt at watching a fishy dvd, this time with amplified speakers.

"Fish From Burundi To Your Home" is a documetary exploring Lake Tanganyika from the perspective of an ornamental fish catching, breeding and exporting business "Fishes of Burundi". It includes fish in thei natural habitat and step by step collecting, acclimatization and packing"

The normal auction and raffle will take place again this month, so if you have excess healthy fish or a surplus of plants here is your opportunity to pass them on to other enthusiasts. We are also currently selling tickets for mega raffle. The major prize will be a choice of canister filter (Donated by AoA) or fluid bed filter (kindly donated by Redtree) along with a pool of prizes . The tickets will be $2 each and we will run it over a couple months until we sell enough tickets. In the past you had to be present on the night for major prize but this time we are going to notify the winner and they one month to collect the prize before we redraw. However, all the minor prizes will go on the night so it is a good thing to continue to show at the meetings.

I would like to iterate that if you have any suggestions about what you would like to see the club do, how you would like to see the meetings structured etc, or even fish to be added to the conservation list, PLEASE approach one of the committee members and tell us. There are only 5 of us running the show so if you don't tell us what you want then we have to decide for you.

So with all these benefits for members, why wouldnt you want to be a member? So we can still offer member services like the trade table, library books purchases, magazine subscriptions and conservation program, please renew your membership or try to encourage your friends to join.

Keep those fish a swimming dancing
