HOME AQUARIUM AND POND COMPETITION

Yes! It is that time already, time to polish your fish and fill up your pond because we need to get ready to rumble! The competition will be judged sometime in July/August this year as June is chalked full of celebratory events. This gives you time now to get everything ready. The competition organisers will be collecting names this Month and next, and this will be announced at the meetings. Entries are free so get your name down now, it is great fun and you get to see your aquarium and/or pond on the big(ish) screen.
