having worked for years on a weekly paper is that I find it hard to believe in anything that's more than about three issues away. Christmas, for instance, is obviously just a myth. But hang on: here are those guaranteed prizes, and sat up. NCA president elect Robb Brown, for one, is putting up a pair of reedlings. Now I speculated in the May 17 issue that this “exotic native” softbill could go mainstream. And having seen Robb's reedlings on the show bench, I can't think of a breeder more likely to popularise them. You simply know they will be quality: a sure-fire way to broaden the softbill fancy.
