18th World Guppy something or other

[GraphicGr8s]

Finally something in my home town. And to think the largest export at TIA is tropical fish I can't get quality fish here at the LFS.

Sunday they auction off the fish. See your fish becomes the property of the host club to auction of to pay for the event. Hope to be there myself. I need some quality stock.

That looks like an interesting event. What specifically is involved with the fish collection trip on Monday morning? Where do they go, what is worn, what do they expect to collect,  etc?

It's great fun Pauline no matter what part of the country you are in.  Here's some photos of when Lawrence Kent was in town to speak to the club.....

That's Tony with the big smile.  You won't find a nicer man.  He's the VP of our club and currently in charge of bringing in speakers.  He's also the guy to ask if you want to do some native fish collecting.  Tony knows all the local water ways and where to go to get what you are looking for.

He's also got a super nice fish room in the lower level of his home.....

I'm not really too sure. I know yours truly won't be going though. I am not sure my back and legs could take it for too long.

I may try the farm tour though. Just depends on the other half's schedule since I am the chauffeur de riguer.

..even if you don't go wading, you can watch.....I'm betting there's a shore crew too...

It still pisses me off I see my darned spelling mistakes right after it's quoted.

I am too unsure of the back problem. Just standing tonight cooking dinner it was killing me. But the mango shakes were spot on. Chicken fajitas. Not too bad. But the shake mmmm mmmmm.

If I recall right Joe said this was the first time it's been held in the US. He goes over to Asia a bit and they've been after him for a while to apply to host. He didn't want to at all. He's been a speaker twice at our meetings in the last year. One of my favorite speakers.  This whole thing came together in a matter of a few short months.
