We will not be meeting in person at the Ritchie Memorial Shelter House in January only. We will resume our in-person meetings in February.

Our January speaker will be Jim Gourlie. Jim is the Vice-President of the Guppy Associates of Greater Cleveland, and he is an active International Fancy Guppy Association (IFGA) judge and IFGA guppy breeder. Jim shows many of his guppies each year at IFGA events around the country. He is an authoritative and captivating speaker, and he is sure to share interesting stories and tips about showing and judging fancy guppies. After his talk, Jim will treat us to a tour of his fish room.

Jim Gourlie explains IFGA judging standards at a GAGC meeting.
