August: A Combined Auction and Annual General Meeting
The next meeting of the Perth Cichlid Society will be an auction on Tuesday August 5th and in preparation, we are now taking bookings for lots.
The auction will be held at the South Perth Rotary Hall in Sandgate st, as usual. Details HERE(clicky)
The doors will open before 7:30pm to start processing lots. The auction will start after the Annual general meeting where the PCS members elect a new committee. The AGM will only take perhaps 15 minutes, with the auction kicking off by 8:30
More information about the AGM and nominating for committee is available HERE (members' section link)
As the AGM will take a little of the available time, lots may be limited - first come best dressed, so get your lots in early!
Please note: no lots will be accepted into the auction after 8.00pm
BBQ and cold drinks will also be available. We will also be holding the usual PCS Raffle, with the a prize which will be announced in the coming days.There is no show table contest on auction nights.
