Thank you! Shrimp Championship 2016

[KeenShrimp]

I would just like to give a big thank you to all the organisers and Sponsors for the championship today- without you, there would not be such a great event. I would also like to thank all the judges and the people who entered. Congratulations to all the Ribbon Winners!

The turnout was fantastic- it was great meeting you all. Now I can finally put faces to all the SKF handles.

See you next year!

[Bill88]

I'll second that! Nice to meet those that I did meet and look forward to chatting more at the club! :) 

Plus thanks for the bargains :) went a tad over budget but worth!

Was wonderful meeting you @KeenShrimp!

Will be watching your updates and journals with interest! Sounds like great developments with your tanks!

Hopefully a date for 2017 will be locked in within the next fortnight, so we have plenty of advanced notice for travel plans etc.

SKF was incredibly well represented on the day, with many from interstate. 

@KeenShrimp @fishmosy @Squiggle @Gbang @kizshrimp @Bill88 @newbreed (Lol) @lodo, can't mention everyone, but thanks for all attending where you could. 

As for when will it be in Sydney? Who knows??

We are fortunate in Victoria to have the Aquarium Society building to use for such events. 

We are looking to set next year's event date within the next two weeks, to allow plenty of time for people to work on entries and breeding programs, maybe arrange travel arrangements and take advantage of cheaper flights too!

Something that I am really pleased about is some very important stats.

Last year out of 23 Tanks we had one shrimp loss. This tank was filled using entrants ro and own filter. 

This year with 30 tanks we had no losses. Sadly one loss in transit on the way down but that was out of our hands. 

This year we had only two locally benched in entries, majority were entries posted in from within Victoria and interstate. 

Next year we will have much more notice and better timeframes for entries etc. Plus longer tank setup timeframes too.

So please all give some consideration to entering in 2017. 

Surely if my lines can win awards, our members should take out most categories. ?

It was good fun. I'd like to stay till the end next time!

It was an awesome, if long and tiring weekend. Great to meet you @KeenShrimp.  @jayc, I've started posting the photos on another thread now mate. Hope you enjoy them! 

Looks like a couple more of you showed up and perhaps we didn't meet, @neo-2FX, @Bill88, hope to meet you soon. Please, keep your eye on the SCV calendar and come along sometime, we'd love to see you.

Thanks. He's got one of the old school SKF shirts, so I thought it might have been someone else.

So that's who owns that Blue Bolt mumma.

Mosy seems to be in a few photos too. He is in one with Squiggle give us the piece sign. <edit> - I mean Squiggle is giving the peace sign. Mosy is standing next to Squiggle.

I wonder if their ears are burning.
