London Fishkeepers

[catxx]

We don't have a central London fishkeeping club so over on the PFK forum we've been working getting people together to meet up and chat about starting one. There's a good bunch of people so far, if there are any Londoners on here, these are the details:

The Alwyne (on St Pauls Road just off Upper Street near Highbury & Islington Station)
Here:

on the 31st March at 7.30pm.

Any Londoners interested?

Clearly not many Londoners on here then

Anyway, the next meeting is here:
Tuesday 28th April 2009 at 7.30pm

Venue:
The Junction Public House
2A Corsica Street
N5 1JJ

And we've got a proper name now, Central London Aquatic Society (C.L.A.S.)

It went well! There was only 5 of us though, but it was a good and positive start! Quite a mix of different interest, two very much Goldfish orientated, one a member of the Goldfish Society of Great Britain which was interesting, us other three were tropical fish geeks of varying abilities. The Alwyne were we were meant to meet was closed! So we relocated to The Junction Good range of ages too!! Not like a lot of the more established Society's where the average age is 75 hehe! (I'm 27 for instance)

Definitely would love more people to come to the next one. One of the guys is a good website geek and another has his own hosting so we should have a website up soon too

There's no point being 1 forum exclusive, that kind of narrows down our publicity just a tad! We first sent the worms out on PFK as it's an obviously uk-based forum, now we're going elsewhere.

okok

 

[helterskelter]

Are you gonna join FBAS www.fbas.co.uk

or A of A
http/www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/...b.php?club_id=4

these will help in running of clubs

 

[catxx]

we'll see, no running before we can walk! you don't have to join these society organisations straight away.

 

[helterskelter]

i know that but they can supply with material for video talks and info on show's etc etc

 

[Acara Man]

I'm from London!

thank's helter skelter, we've already looked at FBA's stuffed but I think things like shows are a good year or so down the line for us - merely finding a venue in a price range of almost-free in central London that'll do something like that will be like a needle in a haystack! we are aware of it all and one of the other guys has picked up the registration. I also have a contact in Scotland who's set up their own Society, they're without FBAS and all that and have done just fine!

acara man - come to the next meeting!
