Description
A bright and appealing Souvenir 24 page Catalogue for the 7th Yorkshire Aquarist Festival, 1981, held at Doncaster Racecourse and presented by Aquarist and Pondkeeper. The bold red cover with its stylised fish motif captures the era perfectly and makes this a lovely piece of Yorkshire aquatic‑hobby history.
Condition:
A very good condition example with only light handling to the cover. The colours remain strong, the booklet lies flat, and the pages are clean and intact throughout. A tidy, well‑preserved copy — especially nice for an event catalogue originally sold for just 10p.
A great piece for collectors of aquarist ephemera, Yorkshire hobby‑show memorabilia, or anyone building a display of early‑80s aquatic‑keeping history.
History of the Yorkshire Aquarist Festival
The Yorkshire Aquarist Festival brought together fishkeepers, breeders, aquatic‑plant enthusiasts and local societies from across the region. Supported by Aquarist and Pondkeeper, Britain’s leading magazine for the hobby, these events showcased exhibitions, competitions, talks, trade stands and society displays.
The 1981 festival reflects a vibrant period in the UK aquatics scene, when home aquaria, pond‑keeping and tropical fish clubs were thriving across the country
