CDAS Meeting Re-cap
For those who have not been able to attend the October and November meetings here is a
quick recap of what happened.
October was the AGM and mega auction. Paula and Harry stepped down from the
committee due to commitments but we hope to still see them every now and again at the
meetings. We were able to get all 4 Major positions on the committee filled as well as getting 6 general committee members! So a big thank you should go out the new members of
the committee this year. It is a relief that duties can be shared around and I think you will be
happy with what has happened in just one month.
The new Committee is;
President: Alex Borg
Vice-President: Stephen Burg
Treasurer: Andrew (Rosco) Ross
Secretary: Danita Burg
General Committee members:
Laurie, Tim , Christine, Serkan, Big Col and Skip
November: The new committee ran their first meeting together as the new team.
The breeders awards were handed out with Laurie topping the overall point score this year,
taking home the trophy. The Junior breeders award was won by Morgane.
Serkan did an excellent talk on killifish and sparked alot of interest in killifish from people
that had never heard about them to those that thought they were a difficult species to keep.
The usual auction and raffle also took place.
