2009 October 20th Monthly meeting

Date: Tuesday 20th October 2009
Time: Meeting room doors open for members at 7:50pm for an 8pm sharp start
Place: The Harmonie German Club - 49 Jerrabomberra Avenue, Narrabundah

Last month Alex did a DIY night from Alex "What you can do with a used softdrink bottle"  and it was a great talk, well done Alex.

This month is the AGM and mega auction.  After very brief AGM with the voting in of new members we will have an informal chat about what is happening in your tanks followed by the MEGA Auction.  There are normally auction lot restrictions and normally no dry goods.  These rules are thrown out the window and people can auction off there excess tanks, filters fish, plants and even electrical goods (although we would prefer as new as possible we do accept second hand goods as long as the seller states how long it has been used etc.).Followed by a larger than normal raffle will take place this month.

Also Memberships are due so you need to rejoin in order to sell anything on Tuesday.  My computer blew up last week and the CDAS accounts are on it so I may not be able to get the financial statements prepared by the AGM.  I am working on a replacement but it will take time.

The breeders awards finishes this month and the winner announced next month, so please get your forms in this month. We haven't had too many entries as yet so you never know your luck.

The AGM is now here and Paula and Harry are standing down due to work commitments, so we need help otherwise the club will not run. So PLEASE approach one of the committee members and see if you can help us run the club next year. It is not very demanding, but as the saying goes "many hands make light work". There are only 5 of us running the show this year and if it drops to 3 it will be very hard to keep the club running smoothly.  

The CDAS trade table will again be operating along with the library with a couple new magazines that are worth checking out.

So with all these benefits for members, why wouldn’t 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. See you all on Tuesday.

Keep those fish a swimming dancing
