All together now:

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover


Sorry George, couldn't resist, but you look like you are dancing on that lit floor from the Michael Jackson video for 'Billie Jean'....

Glad you had fun at the Festival of Fishkeeping. The tank looks splendid.

Siamese twins George and Dan get on with the build up. due to their unfortunate connection George does most of the aquascaping.

or

"George, that blasted guppy has my finger in it's jaws" "dont worry Graeme brace yourself i've got him"

couldn't decide. i dont drink much anyway so dont worry about the comp. lol

Good, you folks have T shirts.
Always a good item for sale to promote the club!

As well as a nice tank display.
The long term viability of that tank will do well.
While that sword will become massive and some of the plants, it should do pretty good over time as it will not shade too strongly the Anubias and other plants nearby. The longer grass plants will grow and be able to get at the light before the sword plant takes over(and it will if you use CO2).

Funny people.

It was a great weekend. Some people got very excited at what we were promoting. Some even thought we were trying to sell a product.

Its Down to Dan, the mini person ( we joke about his hight lol ) that we looked so pro! He designed the stand and had it printed. He also made the Tshirts.It was models own choice for trousers and shoes, I guess even in cloths, we all have the same tastes.
Both me and George, were abit nervous about doing the public display, but we pulled it off with great gusto lol.

The first tank ( on Saturday ) was by far a real success. The public really loved it. It was a sod to scape.
Ever tried scaping in a tank of milk? Well thats what I had to do.The white sand hadn't been washed, so yes it was milk. We also used all of the best plants in the first tank, that were kindly donated by plants alive.We swiped ,errm, ill rephrase that, borrowed some really nice blue guppy's, yes i know guppy's are abit pap, but they really worked in this scape.
It was funny, Saturday night, me George and Dan had,had rather a few beers after the success of the day.After eating some top grub in the bus mans style bar/lounge, we headed off back into the marque. We tweak the tank, grabbed some chairs and just gazed at the wondrous Ukaps scape. How sad are we?? 3 Lads at 11:30PM on a Saturday night, sitting in front of a tank, with a beer, watching it as if it was a blue movie lol, geeks, thats what we are.

Sundays demonstration, was more informative that the Saturdays, but the scape was very disappointing in my opinion. We had used all the best plants and wood in the first tank. Some people really liked it, but for me it was a disappointment. I set my standards to high at times.

All in all it was a wicked weekend. We blew them all away with our enthusiasm and professionalism.

And i think you agree, not bad for a society thats only been up and running for a little over 4 months. Lets hope that we can ( with your support ) keep this astonishing pace of improvement up, and keep knocking the socks off this age old hobby.

Regards,
Graeme.

Hi Graham, i think George, Dan, and yourself did a splendid job over the weekend it must have been very nerve racking talking infront of a very expectant crowd , also it is really frustrating when doing a scape which you know will only look its best over a period of time, and its very hard to show the public what can be acheived in small or large setups but if our society keeps attending shows and getting the message across then we will get more people into our side of the hobby, well done on a great weekend regards john ps: Dan deserves a pat on the back for graphic design skills.

 

[lisa_perry75]

Yes a very well done guys! Out of all the societies yours was the best stand...

 

[George Farmer]

I can't post much as I'm on holiday and this is from my phone...

A massive personal thanks to EVERYONE involved for making the UKAPS presence the apparent success it was.

I'll get some more photos and words up next week sometime.

Be good.
