This 3-day show was held at The Eldon Leisure Centre, Newcastle. Highlight of the show was Brian Risbridger's diminutive pencilfish beating a giant Red-tail Catfish for the Champion of Champions award.
This show had the luxury of a carpeted floor - mainly to protect the wood beneath.
                  
    



The carpet did not do its work and water ended up on the wooden floor - the TTAA Festival was not allowed back the following year and took place at the Crowtree Leisure Centre, Sunderland.
   
National societies such as the British Cichlid association came to the show.                  

     


Caer Urfa launched their new club at this show with a tableau depicting shipbuilding on the Tyne.

    

 Killingworth Aquarist Association produced this excellent garden theme tableau.
