G'day all,

just a quick heads up to anyone in the Windsor/Nor west part of Sydney I'll be setting up a few display tanks on a DiscusForums stand at Petbarn McGraths Hill for their Aquafun day Saturday 18/07/2009.

Looks to be a good day with a "catch your own" gold fish pond and a few of my giant koi just for kicks, will also be displaying my recently aquired giant Peppermint bristlenoses, some L134's and a few others (sorry none of my fish will be for sale). Chyna (mini daushoundX) the Kandasamy fish-room mascot will also be there awaiting cuddles, love and general affection.

Address 264-272 Windsor Rd McGraths Hill in the Bunnings complex.

Come by and say hi if your in the area and give me a hand plugging the forum :!: I'll be there from 9am - 4:30pm

last few.

all in all a very good day besides there being no internet coverage in the shop, lots of people through the store, and lots of interest in who we are and what we do, all up i left this morning with 64 busniess cards and came home with only 31.

A massive thank you to Colin and his team for inviting me out today and for being more than obliging with my "space intensive" requests.

And welcome to all the new members :) I hope you enjoy your stay with us.
