An Australian Discus Show?

[Roxanne]

Hey DL's

Just wondering how much support there would be for an Aussie Discus Convention/Show???

My background is in Marketing, Promotion & Event Production, so I would be willing to offer my time-freely, for the cause..

Yeah? No?

Hey Roxanne, interesting thought. What a trooper you are. I don't have fish that are show quality but if a discus show was close by to me, I'd certainly go & check out everyone else's beautiful discus

[Roxanne]

I was thinking we could all just sit around in a circle and admire Rod's fish. There might be about 4 of us if two utes comes as well.... (Joking)

Ding Dang, who's got show quality fish in Australia besides Rod? (Not joking) I think this would fizzle pretty quick unless our US and other country counterparts lug their fish down under......and who really wants to lug their fish around the world? Hm, I think maybe WE have to go THERE! OK lets organise an Aussie Posse to Invade America at THEIR next convention???.....

Probably no-one. What I hear round the Aussie discus forums & LFS, is that A Grade imported discus don't even make it into Oz.

I think this would fizzle pretty quick

think you're right. The NSW Discus Association folded recently, due to lack of interested members

[Roxanne]

Well, this just won't do! We must go forth and spread the word of discus to our nation!

Roxanne,
their have been several discus shows already around the country over the years.It's just very time consuming to organise and for people to come from all over the country with their fish is a big ask,I certainly know i would not want to pack my best fish and fly them some where at the chance of losing them.Great idea,sometime i just feel that i live in the wrong part of the world !


cheers

I think we do spread the word, but we Aussies seem to prefer to do it via forums - rather than attending meetings or shows.

I think this is right. I'd like to be able to go to one of the big European Discus shows one day, but only as a looker, not as owner of an entrant.

Boo Hoo(where's the crying emoticon?)

OK, it's not exactly like a car show is it? Well, why don't we just go back to the idea of the 4-6 of us sitting in a circle and admiring Rod or Darren's fish? Don't look so worried guys, I'm only joking....

I guess we could downsize the idea & share photos...

[Eddie]

Tell you what, I agree with Roxanne, we could meet at Rods and Darren could bring fish over and we could all sit and admire the beautiful fish! Lets do it! I'm down!

[Roxanne]

Onya bassy baby....Now we just have to convince Rod & Darren.....

[Eddie]

Come on Rod...Come on Darren.....PLEASE

[Rod]

Tell you what, I agree with Roxanne, we could meet at Rods and Darren could bring fish over and we could all sit and admire the beautiful fish! Lets do it! I'm down!

Sitting is not allowed at my house, no use for chairs so we got rid of em......but what we do have is sponges, syphons and buckets. All welcome!!
