From the inception of the Club, Craig was an indispensable and focal member. Over the years, Craig’s significance to the Club has not diminished in any way. Craig is the glue that holds the Club together and the thread by which we hang in the balance of existence. As the serving President for the majority of the life of the Club Craig organizes the monthly meeting and solicits the interest of overseas authorities with varied notable knowledge and expertise within aspects of the aquarium hobby who might want to come to Bermuda.

Through Craig’s hard and diligent work behind the scenes, members have been exposed to renowned experts and very sort after speakers who not only expand our knowledge of the cichlidae family but also bring with them rare and newly introduced fish in the hobby that many of us would never have the means to obtain. With the varied interests of the Club members when it comes to the types of fish and aquarium aquascapes they keep, Craig constantly seeks to cater to the needs of the Club members which he has been able to accomplish over the years thus sustaining the Club. Year after year we (club members) show up to meeting and enjoy the fruit of Craig’s labors. This year is no exception! It is for these reasons that Craig was nominated and rightfully acknowledged as Member of the Year.

Congratulations Craig and continue the great work you do on behalf of the Club, your efforts do not go unnoticed!
