TIM ADDIS WRITES:

Only 3 weeks to go to the Midland Charity Auction on 6th December. Fish are starting to be put on the website. Could I ask all those bringing fish to let me know what you are bringing. This online list really is a great advertisement for your fish or eggs. I can also put photos of your fish on this page.

The webpage as usual contains links to download your booking in forms so you can do the whole booking in thing from your fish house & just drop your boxes off on the day. Or pick up forms on the day & fill out when you get there.
The December do is usually well attended & has over 500 lots of fish on offer.
Could I ask those attending to try & bring a little something for the raffle prize table. This generally brings in over £100 for the charity pot. This is a fundraising event for charity after all. The Yorkshire lads do a great job of organising this.
A film unit will be coming to take some footage which may appear on the BBC later on.
The June (2010) auction will have a marquee to increase floor space. Other things are being worked on for this date.

  1. This is well worth supporting, and a cracking good day.

  2. Tim, are you planning to bring back your West African killifish site back? It was a treasure trove of info. Would be sad to see it go.
