slinky Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 i've never been to the meetings, and would like to make it to the next meeting, i know it happens every first saturday of each month, starts at 7:30pm at Nuwarra PS. what i would like to know is when it finishes, whats the attendance rate, whats the atmosphere like and is it just older people who attend(not there anything wrong with being old), and any things else that i would want/need to know. thanks for help always, i know i have been asking alot questions lateley, and thanks again for your patience also, as i might have also treaded on some toes lately with the frontosa topic. but i still have alot to learn. slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hi - -It finishes between 11-12. -Attendance rate is always 100%. ie: all members in attendance are generally attending... but about 100-150 people turn up, meeting depending. -Atmosphere, hmmm... 78% nitrogen, 21%... Seriously: the atmosphere is cichlid meeting esk - -hard to describe... but we (on the committee at least) hope it is a friendly one. -Older ppl? Depends - how old are you? I'm 28, there are some older folk than me there and equally there are younger ppl.... average age? no idea. -There's no much else to know except Aline sells the winners (except to me).

TropheusQueen Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Dave means the winning raffle tickets not some sort of slavery movement . There is definately a wide selection of individuals across age and knowledge groups. My nan attends at times and she is well into her eighties and I have suffered through some moments with a handful of 5-10 year olds . Take a cross section of our society include all ages, ethnic persuasions, height and weight, education and fanatic behaviour (not always about fish) and you have our club. If you want to learn about cichlids, meet new friends over a touch of supper, have a few laughs along the way (at Dave if you wish, when he doesn't win a prize) and be amazed at our autioneers ability as they run our not so mini auction then come along. I guarantee that if you listen, you will learn more in a few hours than any book or documentary or some LFS's can impart. Hope to see you there. Cheers Aline (one of those older people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 There's no much else to know except Aline sells the winners (except to me). That she does in 4 meetings I think that I have taken away 4 prizes + a lucky door prize (sorry yew). We (chorrylan, shell and myself) try to make it a regular road trip from Canberra and we have a great time every meeting and the people are really friendly. If you want to learn about cichlids this is the place to go. There are always great talks and supper is a god send (especially when we get home around 3:00am), I highly recommend attending. Hope to see you there (we will be the noisy country bumkins) cheers Rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeW Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Slinky - If Ashcroft isnt far from Moorebank why not cab it home? The money you save on fish will more than pay for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 You also don't HAVE to stay right through. You could leave at whatever time your parents want to pick you up Tell your dad to drop you off, take your mum out for dinner and dancing, then pick you up again on before going home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Tell your dad to drop you off, take your mum out for dinner and dancing Wow sounds like dad gets the short straw in this deal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
