What fish will be for sale and can we pay by credit card ( dont like carryiong cash where lots of people mingle) - says on the home page that the fish are for sale on a "non profit" basis, does this mean there will be none of the forum sponsore selling fish?

Hi Kayleigh

There will be a wide range of varieties and sizes, up to and including pairs. Some show fish will also be on sale too. As to credit cards, yes they of course can be accpeted but life is life when i want to haggle I have pound notes in my hand.

Hope that helps.

as for show sponsers. i think there are Sponser's selling fish but then there is some really nice fish not owned by the sponser and owned by the club, donated by a club member that will be for non profit basis.

i think :S
