Hi all! This season the club will be hosting an expanded Breeder/Horticulture Award Program (BAP/HAP). For a refresher on BAP/HAP rules and details please visit the GSAS.org club site. The direct links are: http://www.gsas.org/Articles/bap.html http://www.gsas.org/Articles/hap.html The Award Program this season will involve: A) a simple form in the newsletter to document spawns/propagations (late spring/summer spawns will be considered and partials noted). B) a running tally of eligible Award Points for those interested in starting an Award Certificate. C) a trial auction of Award fish and plants at the end of the next meeting. Donations are encouraged but a standard 60/40 auction split will be available for members at the first trial auction. (Lets see how it goes) D) an Award Ceremony at or near the end of the season to summarize activity, give out certificates (for the certificate motivated), and prizes if there is enough interest. I am always looking for fun ways to encourage participation so ask questions and post suggestions! -Paul _______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member
