Midland Charity Fish Auction - December 5th - Lodge Park - Redditch
Weighing up all the weather reports & the freezing temperatures, I have decided to bow to the power of nature & cancel the charity auction on Sunday 5th December. With so many areas of the country under deep snow & sub zero temperatures I am sure we will not get our usual sized attendance to buy fish. Also the welfare of the fish would not be best served in taking them home in these temperatures.
I hope you will understand why I made this decision & understand it was cancelled only under extreme weather conditions. This is the first December auction I have had to cancel & hope this is just a 'freak' year.
What is your opinion?
The BKA auction is scheduled for March at the same venue. Some BKA members have given me fish lists containing rare Anabantoid or newly collected livebearers - maybe we could work something out regarding a sales table at the venue. As you know we are keen to keep the auction killies only.
I have been working hard for some weeks to promote this event & believe it would be crazy to carry on with so much of the country in chaos. I'm sure those buying could have arrived home with dead fish & I don't want to promote a meeting where fish suffer.
