I'd pop down for a beer too.

Doesn't always have to be same location every month. Maybe have one in Aldergrove (for the people in Langley and Abbotsford) and would be close to Oceanic Corals. Then one in Surrey somewhere, and other locations in New West, Vancouver, Burnaby, and even North Van. Some diehards will travel, but at least those that don't will have a chance to go to a local one. Just saying...

Doesn't matter to me, I will travel, but the timing matters more, esp if it overlaps with some of my other fav activities.

Also maybe house visits, like the guys in Prince George do every year. I think Rich did it one year, as we had in Langley at Dave's place, too. I like to see other people's set-ups, too, and maybe learn something.

Looks like my thread has been hijacked lol!

I prefer Mezz, not cause its a 10 min drive from where I live :p . The biggest reason is no 1. They have beer! (If you pour it they will come.) and no 2. As Albert said they have been accomodating for us with the frag swap and they know what we are about.

My intention was to be an informal meetup for reefers, anyone can arrange another meetup in other cities like Burnaby, Surrey etc..

How cool would that be to have multiple social gatherings for us each month. Just don't pick the same day.

Agree with Walter, thats a great idea to rotate and have them in different areas that way everyone can potentially get out to one.

I prefer the Mezz, however I live in Burnaby not far from JL. However for the same reasons you have mentioned, plus there's a little nano tank and the people running the Mezz are reefers as well :)

Maybe you shoulda mentioned this before now, like when you first started the thread ... :lol:

I'm completely new to the hobby and new to the city actually too. Would love to come out meet new people and learn about this hobby in greater detail before I dive in :redface:
