Yeah, last year was ok, people who like rifts would be in heaven!
Apparently they are releasing some of the details of the auction lots in the march newsletter, if there's some nice things i'll decide then whether to go.

|
I'm at Lincoln uni, only got 3 weeks left now eeek! Nige... anyone can go but members get in cheaper. Last year's auction was fun, and one of the talks was very interesting. The other talk tho was very boring zzzzzz.

16-03-2006 17:25 by James_L
|
Yes i was on another forum but left. Couldnt completely trust the site owner so didnt want myself to be associated with the site (i was a mod). Webmaster if you could ******* out the name in nige's post I'd appreciate it as I dont want to spread bad vibes!

im hykeham m8, the forementioned forum has changed hands and the new owners re the ex top mod guy and someone named puffer, i have to say a lot of pets in hells fish are bad but i did get some nice mbuna from there, thats the tritton rd one not outercircle. |
16-03-2006 19:12 by James_L
|
Ah i didnt know the forum had changed hands, i'll have to pop my head in there and see what changes there has been. Yeah the tritton road store, the discus they had were awful. I complained and the young lad said they were ok as they added a conditioner to them four times a day to keep "it up". Wasn't sure what he meant by that.... |
16-03-2006 19:19 by nige
|
