Booking a table is FREE. There is no charge to book a table, it is purely so we can plan ahead and ensure you will actually have a table on the day rather than be disappointed should you arrive and all tables are taken.

Hope to meet lots of AFFers at the sale.

Regards,
Sam

Brilliantly awesome up close. It's currently hanging on my wall for the photo. Wife and I are hoping to have it up permanently!

Leila is doing a whole series on Australian finches. This is a special done in advance just for our raffle.
Check out some of her other work - http://leilajeffreys.com/ I'll make a big fuss on AFF when her finch series is officially launched later in 2015.

I'm relieved to see the forecast for our sale day is just 23 degrees C.
Great news as there is always the potential for a stinker mid-December.

Hi Sam,
hoping to come up for the sale.
Any early word on how many/what sort of birds there might be?
Cheers,
Matt.

Great sale - thanks to all who helped, sold, bought, attended, etc. We (the FSA committee) are very pleased with how it all ran and from early feedback I think most of the sellers and buyers were happy too.

Here's Paul Henry who won both first prize (the awesome crimson) AND third prize (PS3). Looks like my lounge room wall will be a touch sad. :cry:
