How do you get a single day membership for this?
Have been scouring the websites and can only find a yearly membership for £10 which I do not really want.
 
Would rather just pay the single day membership at £1.50.
But as said, unsure where to find this and if you could advise please.
If its payable at the door that would be good, is this the case?
 
Thanks

 

[helterskelter]

Day membership is £2 and you only pay if you looking to buy or sell.

 

[Ch4rlie]

Oh right, your first post said £1.50!

Anyway that's no problem. Yes am looking to buy so will require one of these day memberships.

How or where can I get one if these? Or is this at door or at registration desk on the day?

Thanks

 

[helterskelter]

it was £1.50 last year, but this year it's £2 my fault should of checked at first.
 
You just turn up and see the people at the front to join

Today's auction is going to be even bigger then the monster we had in March, the auctioneer (Chris Ralph) was telling me last night that ~760 entries were pre-booked, in March with the late entries we had ~700!
 
Should be something in the pre-booked list to cover most fishkeepers' tastes, http/www.fishkeepers.org/auction-dates.html

 

[helterskelter]

Defo there m8.
 
I was in the fish room Bagging fish from 6pm till 10 last night!
 
Will you be bringing anything?

 

[N0body Of The Goat]

I'm bagging up at mo, hoping to bring along some of my Steatocranus casuarius youngsters for the auction, not sure I will bring any Ilyodon xantusi (despite having plenty to rehome) because last time I brought some they did not sell and there are some already listed as pre-booked.
 
I'm also bagging up some others, but not for the auction.
 
See you a bit later on, I'm travelling up with Chris.

 

[Sophie]

I was there! 892 lots was impressive.

 

[helterskelter]

yep and we got out at 8.30pm after clearing almost everything away!
