Hi All,

Our regular GSAS meeting with the presentation 'Raising Fish for Fun and Profit' by Dick Au is only one week away (March 13th). Guests are welcome. In addition, for GSAS Members and by reservation only, there is a second presentation about Angelfish on the evening of March 12th at a different location.

How long does the meeting/auction usually last?? what time should I expect to be home by?

Hi Sandnuka,

The doors open at 7:10, the meeting starts at 7:30, the speaker usually starts at 7:45, the presentation and Q&A are usually over by 9:00. We start the 'mini-auctions' about 9:10 and try to be done with everything by 10:00 PM. Hope that helps!
