CSG auction.

[MatsP]

As some of you know, I went to the Catfish Study Group Auction this Sunday. I will write a longer report tomorrow.

I just wish I had more tankspace, so I could have bought some more of the nice fish that were on offer.

Thanks to all involved, including those who delivered fish for me to transport to those who are actual recipients - it's great when a plan comes together like that.

Wow!
I had no idea the auction would be that good.
Before now I had only been to one fish auction... it creaked.

When is the next one?

[MatsP]

Sometime in March is the next one - I think it's two weeks before the convention, so I'm not going to the auction...
