Guests arrived from Rydale AS, Scarborough AS and OASIS. Quite a few local guests could not
attend because of holidays etc. Peter Wright, our Vice Chairman was another who put in his apologies because a recent operation has left him temporarily housebound. He did, however, send in the quiz used later in the
day. John Douthwaite and his grandson, Daniel Charters, organised and ran the fish show, Daniel designing the
place cards. Wendy Charters put together a fish food basket for the raffle, and along with junior members Amy
Charters & Bethany King ran it. Darren Lamb looked after the sales bench, and Anthony King set up the projection equipment for David Marshall. An unexpectedly large entry of fish was ably judges by
Robbie Kirkup.
A full list of show winners can be seen on the next page. A lot of good ideas were on display in the novelty aquarium class, judged by Martin Ingermalls &
Norman Banks, the winner being Sue Marshall of Rydale. Peters Wright's quiz was won by
Norman Banks of OASIS; this despite question like "Name a fish staring and ending in K" the answer being Kwick-save battered Haddock! Amy Charters organised a free treasure hunt, the prize being a basket of
chocolate. This was won by her brother, Daniel, who refused to share with her. The main event of the day was David Marshall's excellent talk on Guppies. He imparted his years of experiences with this species, starting
from the first discovery of the species, its naming and ending with the very latest forms being bred in Europe and Asia.
