I didn't know anyone still used terms like "Watermelon" anymore Adrian
;) (For those born after the 1960's - Watermelon is a perjorative
term for someone who is green on the outside and a godless commie on
the inside).

Well, anyone outside Pauline's stroke club and the League of Rights
anyhow.... :)

The constitution (well, the draft one I had a copy of for a while) of
ANGFA has a lot of conservation/preservation stuff in it, from memory.
Was this kept in the real one? I don't think I've ever seen a copy of
the current ANGFA (National) constitution....

Regards, Andrew

I always thought ANGFA was an Aquarium Society for people who keep fish in
Aquariums or Ponds and not a Conservation Group. I'm sure the ACF, Green
Peace or any number of Watermelon Green Groups would appreciate your membership.
