first time in five years i was near enough to the gong to drop in on the show. i was gobsmacked by the amount of people who were there compared to the last couple i went to in fairy meadow.

my question to the organisers: why no venomous snakes?

 

[FAY]

Certainly was a huge crowd....2,000 people went through.

Not sure about why no vens.....you will have to ask the organisers...

It appears to be space.............or insurance..one or the other...

I'm pretty sure he didn't .....


Great day as usual , with huge crowds rolling in all day .

 

[jack]

as of today i have moved back to the south coast, and i filled in the form and coughed up for the IRS membership while at the show...
so maybe next year there will be some venomous critters on display (dependent on insurance or space)

Sounds like a missed out on a good day. Maybe I should have taken the two minute walk it takes to get there from my place?

I could have put a big 2 metre lacie on display!

Now thats just lazy mate! I was this close to driving there and back from southeast Melbourne! but I suffered from what you probably did on the day... insidism.. one of those days where the front door seems to have an invisible barrier stopping you from going near it.

Fay - Congratulations to you and the other IRS crew that put the show on. Once again, it was brilliant.

The IRS show is undoubtedly my favourite of the club shows and has been since I made my way down two years ago. As I said to you today, I think you guys do well by drawing a great crowd from the community, proof of this was the line trying to get in all day - always a good sign...

I think you may need to look into a larger venue in the future though, it was quite crowded once the numbers started flowing in, a great sign for the quality of the show but it did get cramped and difficult to see the animals after a while.

In saying that, the quality and quantity of the animals on display was fantastic, an area I think the other shows have lacked in so far. There was a HUGE number of animals on display from all different categories - brilliant. It is this selection of animals that I believe appeals to the general public rather than just other herpers...

EXTREMELY well done...

Thanks guys for the great positive feedback.

As you would know..you can NEVER estimate how many people will turn up on the day.
The last two years about 1200 walked through the doors, this year 2000 turned up. That was certainly unexpected.
I will be printing off some of these comments for Garth to give to the next committee meeting to have a look at.
