Additional Information:
Stockton-on-Tees Aquarist Society formed a separate Junior Section eighteen
months ago. We believe we are probably the only society in the Tyne Tees
Area to run a separate section for juniors.
The section meets fortnightly in Kiora Hall Community Centre membership is
open to any juniors from 8 - 18 years old. It is supervised by volunteers
from the adult society but in all other aspects it is organised as a
separate section with its own funds.
The average attendance at meetings is 30. Table shows and auctions are held
at each meeting. Some of the table shows put the adults to shame. Twenty
entries per class are commonplace.
We try to arrange a regular programme of speakers, quizzes, slide shows etc.
Some of the speakers who have attended include Mr. K. Low. Mr. D. Keigthley.
Mr. L. Collins. Mr. R. McCartney. I think all will agree that they were
given a very appreciative hearing and that the standard of questions asked
was very high. (taken from, issue
