Re: [Killietalk] AKA convention

["Harry Specht" <aus62 at comcast_net>]

Bill Shenefelt pointed out the primary reason the annual AKA show does not 
attract the same number of entries as does the DKG show. In the USA we have 
numerous regional or affiliate fish shows during the year. Then too, the 
size of the USA requires long distance travel whereas a European show as the 
DKG covers a much smaller area making auto traffic (or rail)  convenient and 
inexpensive.

I personally feel the annual AKA show is vital to the AKA as it brings 
together members from all areas of our country as well as many foreign 
visitors face to face for a wonderful weekend "killifish orgy.". It 
behooves us to schedule regional killifish shows well away from our annual 
show to avoid "bleeding off" fish for the big convention. This is OUR 
central organization and should be supported and fostered by every member.

See you in Tampa for convention 2006
