The "National" tag was the original differentiation between the parent
group and the two local aggregations of enthusiasts in SE Queensland and
Victoria. Other regional groups (some of which are separately
incorporated), international groups and affiliated groups came later.
Just for the record the term National is entirely "unofficial" as the
legally registered name for the association is the AUSTRALIA NEW GUINEA
FISHES ASSOCIATION Inc.
