Just wondered What the Friends of Yorkshire Show was. Just scanned Otleys site and its under the Y.A.A.S. banner (I thought it was a new breakaway organisation)
also good to see Trevor Douglas (show judge) is still around.

Just sent an email to YAAS to get some gen.
Thanks for bringing my/our attention to the various show dates around the country which are in steady decline. In my mind every aquarist worth their salt should at some stage join a local society, regional or national body. You dont have to show fish to be a member.

No thats right, BigC i first join my club when i was 12 and now i'm 29sadily our club in bourneouth closed about 6 years ago

We all need new members to keep these things going and i love traveling to the shows and seeing everyone, Also this year I've meet about 5-6 members from this forum at the shows and it good the see them starting up.

 

[BigC]

Yeah Helter,
Since your last posting on the show front, I've been in contact with some old Bradford members (who are still members) I'm paying my subs and going to become an off shore member as it were. Small contribution to their funds. LOL
As you say lasting friendships are formed that go beyond the bounds of fishkeeping.
Did Bournemouth have a lapel badge.

Hi,
Just heard back fro Sue and Arthur at YAAS
The "Friends of Yorkshire Show" is an extra show/auction put on by the YAAS judges to add to the show calendar. Just an extra outing if you like to gain certificates for top class entrants and also the auction is a big draw.
Just wanted to clear that up.
Regards
BigC
