DINNER IS SERVED!

WHAT, WHERE and WHEN?

The Anniversary Dinner will take place at Mill Rythe Holiday Village, Hayling Island on the evening of Saturday 22nd November exclusively in Hudson's Bar with overnight accommodation as an included option if required.

A feature of many of the enquiries already received has been about the Dress Code.
Please note that Dinner Jackets/dark Lounge Suits will be required for Gentlemen (as the Ladies have always risen to the relevant occasion suitably attired, perhaps there's no need to be quite so specific in their case!)

A REMINDER OF WHY WE'RE DOING IT

Since being founded in 1938, the Federation has been serving aquatic Societies throughout the UK on a continually successful basis entirely through the hard work and dedication of aquarists.

From the mid 1950s to the 1980s (regarded by many as being its 'Golden Years') with the development of its publications, Judges and Speakers Lists, audio-visual programmes and weekend Aquatic Shows at London's Vincent Square and Alexandra Palace, through the 90s with displays at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show to today's dealing in video DVDs, maintaining its own website and annual Festivals of Fishkeeping weekends, the Federation is clearly continuing to keep aquarists happy.

All these achievements are, we feel, well worthy of a celebration, even if many of those that gave of their best in laying the foundations of our success are not around to receive our appreciation.

We look forward to seeing you on the 22nd November!
