We wish you all a very Happy New Year for 2010 and hope to see you again when we start again in early February.

Your committee has been working hard on guest speakers and already it's looking like being a very, very good year.

Here's what we have for you so far:

5 February: Growing Paramecium - a fine food for baby fish, presented by Rick Datodi. Many of you know Rick Datodi already and you know that this won't be worth missing. Rick will have some starter materials for sale at the night, too. What a way to start your year! Why not renew your membership at the same time?

9 April: two words - Mega Auction.

4 June: Josiah Pit from Aquarium Industries will be speaking about seahorses.

6 August: Annual General Meeting.

See you soon!
