24 hours before booking day.

8. If a member cannot perform his allotted task at an auction, then he must inform the

Booking Officer 24 hours before the auction and nominate an able bodied person to do

his work. If he cannot, and arrives at the auction without a stand-in,

then his bins will be given to other members.

responsibility to be at their work station at the right time.

one bin.

14. No Long fin Koi will be sold at any KSA Main Body or Branch auction.
