A Message from our Chairman Dear friends and fellow aquarists, On behalf of the 2018 Show Committee and the members of HDAS, I would like to offer you an especially warm welcome to our 55th Open Show. With parking and shopping facilities literally ‘on the doorstep’ we are sure our visitors will have a great time. HDAS will have their fish/equipment shop and food bar open throughout the Show. We are pleased to have been given Classes D (Cichlids), Ma (Labeos) and P (Cultivated Livebearers) as this year’s FBAS Championship Trophy Classes. Our Diamond Class is K (Danios). Again this year, we are closing the books for entries on the Wednesday before the Show and there will be no entries on the day (except for straightforward substitutions in the same Class). We will get the Judging underway much earlier and get the public in as soon as possible. Like all Clubs we want potential new members through the door (in addition to our faithful exhibitors). We all look forward to seeing you at our Open Show either as an exhibitor or as a visitor. Old and new friends, experts or novices to the aquatic hobby, all are welcome. Special thanks go to the FBAS Judges, our Advertisers, the Show Committee, our Club Members and the Refreshment Ladies, but especially to you for your support. I look forward to seeing you all and hope you enjoy the day Peter Anderson, Chairman 2018
