VAHC Members and Auction Buyers & Sellers:

It's time again for our 12th annual Fall VAHC Monster Auction. This year the
auction is being held on Saturday, Nov 14th so mark your calendar. 

Remember - the fall auction replaces the November club meeting.

Any members wishing to sell at the auction please contact Dave at
dave-carlson@shaw.ca with a phone number to register. 

Anyone wishing to sell in the November auction must register by October 30
to avoid the $10 late registration fee.

This auction is a fundraiser for Project PIABA with all club proceeds going
save the Amazon rainforests!

Please ensure that everything to be auctioned is clearly labeled and your
sellers form is properly filled in. Sellers are limited to strictly 20
items. Any items more than 20 for a seller will be sold with ALL proceeds
going to Project PIABA. All items need to be on the tables by 9:15 so please
be on time. We will have people checking that items are labeled properly and
placing them on the tables. All the rules are available on the web site as
well.

Members that will only be buying at the auction don't need to register in
advance but need to bring a filled in buyers form to the auction. 

We need helpers to set up in the morning (7:30-9am), to clean up in the
evening and we'll also need people throughout the day to help with odd jobs.
Contact Dave if you are able to help or sign up at the October 1st club
meeting. Rumor has it there will be free coffee and treats before 8:30 for
those who help setup.

The buyers and sellers forms as well as driving directions will be available
on the club's website.

There will be food and drinks available onsite!

Here are a few auction reminders and tips from Dave, our auctioneer.

- All fish must be properly bagged in fish bags (no Ziploc bags), with no
more than 1/3 water (leaving at least 2/3 room for air). The VAHC is selling
fish bags so if you need them then contact me or another steering committee
member.

-Sellers are limited to 20 items, if you wish to bring more than 20 items
let me know and I will contact you the week before the auction and let you
know if it is possible.

-All sellers must hand in their completed sellers form prior to 9:30 or
their items will be placed on the late table and sold at the end of the day.

-All items for the auction must be labeled clearly and correctly with
permanent marker.

-Anything not labeled will be considered a donation.

-If you print labels on your printer, put a piece of clear tape over it as
most will not be water proof.

-Do not feed your fish for 24 hours before bagging them.

-Bags of plants must be sealed.

-Sellers do not need to fill in buyers forms, they will receive their
bidding card when they hand in their sellers forms.

-Anyone other than sellers wanting a bidding card must fill out a buyers
form, even VAHC club members.

-Bring a cooler or box for all your purchases.

Any questions please contact me at dave-carlson@shaw.ca

Thank You,
Dave
