The Goldfish Standard

For Many years, the AMGK volunteers have recorded the events in the hobby through the AMGK Newsletter “The Goldfish Standard”.  This newsletter over the years turned into a quarterly magazine thanks to the writing of Patrick Davies and the Editorial and Graphic skills of June Pons.  Along with the many contributors of articles, their efforts we nationally recognised when the Goldfish Standard was featured on the BBC comedy current affairs program “Have I got news for you”.  While we able to laugh at ourselves, it also serves as a huge compliment that the humble newsletter was of a standard to be recognised as a magazine by the BBC. 

Sadly after many years both Pat and June have decided not to continue, and it falls to the club to pick up the torch through the website and these days members receive articles from the website into their inbox.  The plan is to collate website content into future additions of “The Goldfish Standard” going forward, and we remain happy for any member to submit content for the website. 

Editorial note,  new for 2023 we are very luck to have Ray Rich providing his skills to produce the latest additions of the Goldfish Standard.

We have examples of the Goldfish Standard at the bottom of the page free to read, alternatively why not join to access the full collection.
