In 2006 we had a fantastic programme including all these events
This was our annual American supper - a good time was had by all!
Once again our Annual General Meeting features in the calendar, we try to get through this at a fair pace so we have chance to discuss other fish topics BUT it is an important meeting. We need volunteers to help run the club for next year and new faces on the committee usually result in new ideas for the club. PLESAE make every effort to come along and take an active part in the club - with enough people it doesn't have to take long.
Venue: BAWA club, Filton, Bristol, UK
Time: 8pm start to 10pm approx
This was a great members night with a lively and diverse discussion taking place, covering lots of aspects of fishkeeping.
Venue: BAWA club, Filton, Bristol, UK
Time: 8pm start to 10pm approx
Well Done Dai - he has managed to get Dave Macallister to give us a talk on the livebearer Brachyrhaphis. Dave is a very experienced fish-keeper and has been breeding live-bearers for many years. He often walks away from our show with more award cards than most of us dream of - essentially this is one NOT to miss (although I will unfortunately have to miss it due to a family wedding).
Venue: BAWA club, Filton, Bristol, UK
Time: 8pm start to 10pm approx
This talk was originally planned for July so you are not seeing double! Peter Anderson - New Tropical, marine and pond products. Peter Anderson is chairman of Hounslow AS and he works at Cheney Aquatics. Apparently he uses this position to “grab” new products from suppliers and gives an interesting talk about them and demonstrates them without getting them wet, so to speak. This is the perfect opportunity to find out what's new and what's best from someone who works with fish all day.
Venue: BAWA club, Filton, Bristol, UK
Time: 8pm start to 10pm approx
A change in plan - Peter Anderson was going to give us a talk tonight but this has been postponed until August. This evening Ivan will be giving us a presentation on his trip to America. I am guessing at the content but I assume it will include lots of info and pictures on the fish clubs / shows he visited in the USA together with his work with the Fish Ark in Mexico.
Members Evening - It has been quite some time since the last members evening so this one should be crammed full of questions for everyone to comment on and solve.
Dick Mills - Latest Singapore update, I am unsure what this talk is about but Dick always has some good pictures and good story to tell.
Venue: BAWA club, Filton, Bristol, UK
Time: 8pm start to 10pm approx
Brian Walsh - Keeping and breeding fish. Brian has given us a few talks over the last couple of years and he never fails to impress us with both his knowledge and his presentation skills - this is a talk you do not want to miss.
Ian Fuller - Corydoras breeding. Ian gave us a very interesting and detailed talk on Corydoras C numbers back in August 2005. He is back this time to tell us about how to breed these little favourites among fish-keepers. If you particularly enjoy your Corys then save up your pennies as Ian has a wonderfully illustrated book which he sells for around £25 - this is a definite one for the bookshelf!
Ivan Dibble - Goodieds my way. Ivan is one of our own club members and is a wealth of knowledge on livebearers. He has set up and run the "Fish Ark" project to collect and breed endangered livebearers from Mexico.
John Egan is leading a talk on Central American Cichlids this evening. We have several members that keep and breed Cichlids and it is one subject are that you can never have too much information. I have attended several talks from John Egan and they are always informative and entertaining - make sure you don't miss this one!
