To all interested parties,
It's great to see some interest being shown in the possibility of reviving ANGFA WA.
I have to take some responsibility for the delay in acting upon people's interests, but I plead personal difficulties over the past several months while admitting that this is probably an inadequate excuse. mea culpa.
As I am attending the ANGFA National Convention in Darwin during the weekend of 8th to 10th of June, I hope to plead the case for assistance from ANGFA National for WA: particularly in the area of Programme material, as this has been the single greatest problem we have faced since our inception in the mid 1980s. (Actually, this is AGAIN, as I have asked for such assistance on numerous occasions).
To attend the convention, I will be caravanning to Darwin, and returning early in July. As this will be the first significant break J and I have had in 10 years, it is taking most of my time at the moment organising the trip.
I mention this as I will be unable to do anything about re-forming ANGFA WA until my return.
If someone wishes to take the initiative in getting things up and running before then, please feel free to do so. I will help wherever possible. Please be aware that to be part of ANGFA it is necessary to conform to some conditions.
I would encourage anybody interested in ANGFA to also join the national body as there are benefits in so doing; including receiving the superb publication "Fishes of Sahul",which is published three times a year, together with "ANGFA NEWS" which is similarly published.
If anyone is interested, and not aware of ANGFA National, I suggest a look at the website. ( angfa.org.au).
Any questions....send me a P.M. or 'phone me on 9523 1335, and I'll do my best to assist.
Regards
Syd.
