werner Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 The complete list of auction regulations should be posted on the website within a day or two. We have revised the rules somewhat: Please note that selling of items is now limited to club members only! This includes CAS members, and members of similar clubs (ACE, etc.) So if you need to renew (or purchase) a CAS membership, make sure to get it taken care of at the Sept.13 meeting!!!

Wingin' It Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 muahahahahaha I mean, cool lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Here's a map to the community hall for anyone who hasn't been before. BTW, for those of you who are coming from the north, Stoney Trail now connects from the QEII/Deerfoot Tr. all the way to 16th Ave/#1 so you can get around the city faster. Then just head east on 16th to the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 There might be some rare plants and wild type livebearers there :smokey: As well, rumours of some colorful bettas, maybe even some wild bettas, have been heard... Critter crumbs aka "fish crack" are being "cooked" as we speak and have seen some pretty fancy angelfish that are bring grown out for the auction. And that's just what I've heard :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This includes CAS members, and members of similar clubs (ACE, etc.) That's a good idea. Do ACE and other clubs reciprocate? (just curious) Like can a CAS member sell at their auction?

fishclubgirl Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) We did not just kick your a... on the gridiron, we destroyed and decimated you. See your team on friday :bang1: Edited September 8, 2010 by fishclubgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvianAquatics Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Aw only CAS members can sell stuff now? Wouldn't that make it less stuff to auction? And do CAS now post their Auction on Kijiji? I think you should! I first heard of CAS from the Kijiji on the Auction like 2 years ago and missed last year's Fall auction due to not hearing from Kijiji and assumed it was the week after... It'd also get more people to attend. And this year I'm volunteering as a runner again SO looking forward it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince0 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 its only $35 to join... might as well support local clubs while they are still around... otherwise there might not be an auction to go to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Aw only CAS members can sell stuff now? Wouldn't that make it less stuff to auction? The majority of items in the auctions are already from members (CAS, ACE, etc.) There have been repeated issues with particular non-member(s) who can't be bothered to join the society, but like to take advantage of the auction. I believe that most other clubs have the same rule. And do CAS now post their Auction on Kijiji? I think you should! I first heard of CAS from the Kijiji on the Auction like 2 years ago and missed last year's Fall auction due to not hearing from Kijiji and assumed it was the week after... It'd also get more people to attend. Yes, we have been posting it on Kijiji and Used Calgary for the last couple of years. Generally, the ad runs during the 2 weeks before the auction. its only $35 to join... might as well support local clubs while they are still around... otherwise there might not be an auction to go to You betcha! But we're not just about the auctions... We are actively working on improving the quality of our programs (Bill Bishopp will be the guest speaker at Monday's meeting!) There are mini auctions every month, members also have access to the most excellent CAS Library, and receive discounts at the local fish stores...
