Thanks Lawrence for hosting!

MMM chocolate squares! At this point I'm in but the 25th is pretty close to our wedding anniversary so I can't guarantee that plans won't change. I'll PM you if I can't make it.

Thanks!

OK So if I can get everyone to PM me with thier names and number of guests as well as a picture of the frags you will be bringing than I can get everything organized for the swap and all of the pictures posted and numbered for everyone to view and choose.

Ian 06-10-2009 01:55 AM

UBETCHA!! :thumb:

Eb0la11 06-10-2009 06:59 AM

I dont think I can make it, pretty sure that is my friends wedding and Im the MC.... I'm going to somehow talk my room mate into coming though, or my dad or something cause itd be cool to even have 2nd hand experience of this and maybe get them to get some frags for my new tank. Hopefully it'll be established enough for them by then.

I'll let you know the number for sure but prob not til like mid July since I really cant tell until then.

karazy 06-10-2009 01:34 PM

even though my tank still isnt up, i might come. could be a fun time :biggrin:

ColinD 06-10-2009 02:00 PM

as long as work doesn't get in the way I should be able to make it. Not sure if I'll have any frags to trade, but you never know.

Colin

parkinsn 06-10-2009 04:15 PM

Im game, i will see what i make up for frags to throw in as well. Thanks Lawrence for offering your house up.

Blom 06-10-2009 04:28 PM

On a Sat, nice. I will definitely be down there. I wont have any frags, unless we decide that its a dog swap too.

fragNplug 06-10-2009 05:04 PM

good plan, see u all then and there.

Snappy 06-10-2009 06:05 PM

Crap!!!
 
I am away at that time so I can't make it on the 25th:sad:

Pazil 06-11-2009 12:04 AM

Well great news that there is lots of interest. I spoke to Kevin at Red Coral today and he will supply us with some frag give-aways and some kind of a nice door prize that we will do a draw for when everyone is here. :mrgreen::mrgreen: Thanks alot Kevin. :thumb:

Clay&Chey 06-11-2009 05:22 PM

We just moved from Calgary to Chestermere... can we still come?:lol:
If you let us know how many people aprox Clayton and myself can bring a dessert (unless there's something else that is needed). No bribes implied:wink:

Cheyanne...

Eyford01 06-13-2009 06:50 AM

Well I do have a couple frags I'd like to trade but I just got put on night shift... Nothing like a midnight frag swap LOL can you put me down as a maybe? Or do you need a definite answer

Carmen 06-15-2009 02:24 PM

So.....do we get a sneak peak of what people are bringing for frag swaps or is it a surprise?:biggrin:

Pazil 06-15-2009 11:17 PM

I would love to post pics and numbers for the frags for people to have a sneek peek... but........ NO ONE has sent any pics or PM's confirming that they are coming.... I will post pics as soon as we get them... hopefully soon:biggrin:

Carmen 06-16-2009 03:35 AM

Perfect, I don't have too much for frags but I have a few things I can bring. Mostly some great starter corals if there are any newbies coming!! I will send some pics for you in a week or 2 as I am leaving on holidays this week okay Lawrence. It will be just me so mark me down.

Come on GUYS would love to see what and who is coming!:mrgreen:

Pazil 06-16-2009 01:41 PM

Awesome..... I think I will need some bigger tubs :mrgreen::mrgreen:

sharuq1 06-16-2009 03:46 PM

I might be able to come down, but not sure. If I do it will be 2 adults and possibly 3 kids. Do we need to make private trades, or will everyone just bring their frags and we can have a big fun swap?

mytank90 06-21-2009 07:37 AM

i would like to come .just found red coral store today and was impressed with store and people in there .no nothing yet about coral but sounds like good place to start :biggrin:

Its really up to you guys on what you do for trades... I would like to have pics of everyones frags sent to me and I will add a number to them and post them on here as we get closer to the swap and then everyone can see what the corals look like under good conditions. Once we have these pics posted then everyone can arrange what trades they want to do..... This may work better than some people bringing 10 or 20 frags and end up taking some of them back home if there is no interest in them. OR they could just leave them with me.:mrgreen::mrgreen:

I have recieved a few PM's from people who have confirmed that they are coming.... I will compile a list the week and post it. Also I have recieved a few offers for people to bring other things like deserts and such..... This is appriciated but I will be providing everything as far as food and beverages go... Just bring your frags. This should be a really good time.

kien 06-25-2009 07:28 PM

I've been lurking and secretly hoping that the date would change on this frag-fest.. but sadly no. I'd love to play if I weren't shooting a wedding that day. Have fun guys and gals (and fish and frags)!

Carmen 06-29-2009 12:13 AM

Anyone interested in some starter corals? Any new tanks looking for some easy stuff to get going? Just wondering if it's worth bringing any?:question::wink:

mytank90 06-29-2009 01:34 AM

soapy 06-29-2009 04:21 PM

I would love to come to this if I am in town on the 25th. Right now I can not say for sure if I will be around, but I will contact you Pavel as we get closer to the date if that is ok. My frags would also be easy/weedy corals.

Change of Venue
 
OK So here is the deal...... The BBQ / Frag Swap is still on for the 25th of July.... However with my work ramping up the way it has been lately we are going to change the venue from my place to Doug's (Fishytime's) place. I will forward all of the PM's and pictures that I have recieved to Doug and he will be taking over from this point on. His place is only 5 minutes down the road from my place so logistics should not change much for those who had intended on coming. I HUGE thanks to Doug for taking this on in such short notice.

Cheers

soaptray 07-06-2009 02:06 PM

Sounds like fun - my wifey and myself would love to attend and meet some fellow reefers.

Sorry for sounding like a noob, but how do these swaps work?

Jay180reef 07-06-2009 05:58 PM

I'll be out of town, but hopefully fragnplpug can show off the site and let everyone know how it works.

The Calgary Reef Keepers website should be fully functional and ready for a roll-out on the 25th.

soaptray 07-06-2009 06:01 PM

If you need any help with the site, I would be glad to - I am a web developer as a career! :D

Where is meet / swap / eats being hosted? I vote somewhere in the deep, deep, south. heh.

Jay180reef 07-06-2009 08:54 PM

Thanks for the offer, I've got fragnplug helping with the web build and we should be good.
