[Killietalk] Regional shows

["Harry Specht" <aus62 at comcast_net>]

Barry is correct. It is unfair to attribute the shrinking of the National 
Convention shows attendance simply to the proliferation of big regional 
shows. It may be coincidental. One must be careful when  determining cause 
and effect of many things. Many factors are at work as changes in 
membership, the availability of killies  from many many sources other than 
the AKA or even the national economay at the moment to name a few. Yes, it 
is probably the cumulative effect of many things.

 The timing of regional shows is something that is arbitrary and they could 
be spaced to avoid competition with the National Convention so that 
attracted my attention. Most killifish keepers do not breed hundreds of fish 
as our fish space is limited. Therefore, the number of good fish to be 
spared for shows has to be  rationed. By the way, I wish you well with the 
West Coast Weekend. It has certainly thrived and blossomed in the last few 
years. Enjoy a good show, Barry
