> Subject: [RML] 1999 ANGFA Convention
> Date: Friday, February 07, 1997 1:22 AM
>
> Hi all,
>
> As current President of ANGFA (ACT) I asked the members of the ACT group
if
> they were interested in bidding for the 1999 ANGFA Convention.
>
> However, instead of holding it in Canberra, I put forward the idea of
> holding the convention in DARWIN, Northern Territory.
>
> The projected time would be April 1999, which would only be six months
after
> the Queensland Convention I presume.
>
> My reasons for this timing, is that cheap air-fares and accommodation
deals
> can be found at this time, and Dave Wilson our NT connection advises that
it
> is a great time due to the fact that there is still plenty of water
around
> for collecting fish...
>
> The conventions have gone from strength to strength, but I would like to
> organise this in Darwin so that we can collect/view these fish in their
> natural habitats. Also if Heiko attends, he can prove to us that
crocodiles
> do not attack man/woman. Everybody bring video cameras? :>}
>
> I think that the timing may be more beneficial to our overseas guests,
but I
> am not 100% sure..;)
>
> I realise that there will be a lot of logistical problems - me being
located
> 5000 kilometres from Darwin, but I am confident that one can be organised
> successfully.
>
> I have advised the members of ANGFA ACT that I am listing this suggestion
on
> the RML, and ask for comments from you guys/gals as to whether you think
it
> is a good idea or not - any comments very welcome, but I need them by
24th
> February 1997, so that I can collate the comments and advise the ACT
members
> before a formal bid for the convention will perhaps be submitted to ANGFA
> National.
>
> What do you all think
