Was a awesome night was !

Probably one of the best selections of fish that ive ever seen at an auction.

We ended up taking home some excellent fish and was a really smoothly run and enjoyable night.

Tony done a excellent job as auctioneer and everyone had plenty of time to socialize before and after the auction

As far im concerned tonight was a raging success !!

Big thanks to Bowdy for bringing the BBQ and doing the cooking, and Werdna for once again supplying the coffee machine and making coffees.
Good to see a full hall and some great fish for sale, too bad I missed out on the ones I was after

Tony again did a great job

Overall I reckon this trial was a big success, and we should definitely look at having the auctions on saturdays.

And my apologies to Scat for asking him to work on his night off, thanks mate!

Awesome night guys! Some really stunning fish!

Thanks to the committee for making it all happen. Very organized!

Thank you Tony for stepping up and auctioneering

[Cawdor]

Also kudos to Brad for doing all the booking work at home and to Tony for doing a great job as auctioneer! Thanks to everyone who helped make this a great night.

Well done team, and thanks to all who supplied such awesome variety & quality fish for auction. My wife really enjoyed herself, she actually called me back in after I thought we were leaving to look at a couple of fish in the second half. Good form. Sorry Tony , maybe we should introduce our wives to eachother...
Cheers crew,

Thanks to all who attended and supported the first Saturday Auction and BBQ we have had for some time. Past trials have not had much in attendance, however it was very pleasing to see so many people make the effort to come along. Great to see so many new faces as well as so many of the regulars .
Thanks to all the committee who made the whole event run so smoothly, especially Brad for organising the lots and photos, Tim for orgainising the food. Bowdy for bringing the BBQ and doing the cooking, Krystal for doing so much running around picking up stuff for the night. Sarah for the Nametags, a great idea! Scott and Jimbo for running the photos and showing the lots.
It was also great to see so many familys come along. The night started a little later than we anticipated but we still finished before 10.
It is pleasing to see the great variety of fish being brought to the auctions these days. Some rare and unusual fish along with the more common varieties. Buyers are still getting an excelent selection of quality fish at a very good price, however the sellers are also happy as the price for most is still reasonable for the effort gone into breeding, rearing and taking the fish to the auction. Hopefully there will be more Saturday Auctions to come!!
