Reef Meeting
 

Reef Meeting
Frag Swap & Shop

OK, Since no one else seems ready and willing to hold one, I would like to offer to hold the first meeting of the year.

Date: Saturday February 1, 2003
Time: 11 - 3pm

Served: Pop, Coffee and Snacks

I will talk to the landlord and hopefully get the space next door to hold the meeting (hopefully we can turn on the heat...)

For those who would like to bring frags, I will have set up a few heated containers for bags.

I am hoping to have a couple speakers, local, and maybe a presentation on fragging.

Also hoping for a good attendance.





Wendell

Hmm 1st of feb.. sounds good, I should be able to sneak away by then for a day 8)

Steve

I'd be into it.

I was thinking of hosting an island meeting in late january.. Is there any point in that now? heheh

Wendell, I will be down for sure if I can find some one so kind as to pick me up at the ferries. :)

8) Thanks for offering to host a meeting! I would like to attend as well.

Hey Wendell,
Great idea, I'm glad you took the initiative! I'll be there.

Christy :)

I'm in!

I'm in if I'm not going to Winnipeg any more. Rachel

Count me in! I will also have some frags for sale, cheap small softies and a few frags of white hammer I think.

Count me in too, sounds excellent.

me too!

I should be there too!

Hey Wendell, although I've been by your shop several times, for those that don't know perhaps you could post an address?

I'm in now :D Rachel

Wendall,

see www.oceanaquatics.com/reefsociety.htm for updates

Wendell

I'd love to be there :)

Would anyone be able to pickup Victoria walk-ons?

update on speaker

Tim Tessier from SeaCare will be giving a short description on several species of clams and their requirements for successfully keeping them in captivity.


Wendell

see www.oceanaquatics.com/reefmeeting.htm

Wow Wendell,
I am so impressed! I can't wait for the meeting!! :D 8)

Christy :)

I could probably pick up three walk ons or offs in this case.

I could pick up 1 comfortably and 2 more uncomfortably (2 smalls seats in the back) and also on the return trip.

Oh, I hope Tim will bring some ring/money cowries!!! I'm trying not to have to drive 2 hours East to get them!! :) I'm quite sure a few others want the cowries too. I don't need any more fighting conchs but possibly some fighting conchs would be popular too. I'd be interested in a queen conch though.

Sam brought up an interesting point that in our communication on this board this may seem like a little private club.

ITS NOT, anyone that has an interest in the hobby is more than welcome to attend.

Most of the individuals in this forum have long term saltwater experience that can be extremely valuble for those starting out or wanting to learn something new.



Wendell

looks like i will see you all at the meeting. :D

Good to hear, Shao.

Troy, I think between you and Sam, we'll have enough room. We'll let the meeting get closer to get an accurate count of us coming over.

Thanks for the offer, guys!

Frag List
 

The frag list is growing

http://www.oceanaquatics.com/fraglist.htm

Let me know if you are bringing anything.


Wendell

Hey Wendell,

Is that frag list yours, or stuff people are bringing? I can see I need to bring lots of $$ to trade for corals ;)

Christy :)

I see clams on the list. Is Tim bringing clams?

oooh Frogspawn... I would like some. Who's bringing that?
Wendell, I must commend you on what a great job you've been doing with all of this organization. :mrgreen: You've put a lot of work into this!

This is exciting! I cannot wait to go!

Frag List
 

None of the frags list are mine, hopefully we have a great turnout and lots of frags.

Wendell

PS Please pass onto everyone that you know in the saltwater hobby that they are welcome to come.

i can bring a couple frags of tan birdsnest, light blue tipped stag and pocillopora. and kalk.

OK, I am on. :shock:

If I gave it some thought, I could probably even bring some orange buttons, and a good sized frogspawn frag.... :?

I will definitely bring money. :D

Your driving/flying all the way out from Calgary and skipping your own local meeting? Wow. That's crazy (in a good way). :)

I am being an "em"bassador...

lol
At first I really didn't think you were coming- just joking around. Then I checked the Calgary Club, and you really are coming! Yeah!
I've enjoyed your posts of wisdom (no rolling of the eyes here) and it will be a pleasure to meet you.
ps: bring pics of the guys back "home" so we can see what they look like.

Heh Jeanna, guess that frogspawn has your name all over it... :lol: 8)

Having procrastinated many times when "lurking" through the posts for previous meetings (maybe a bit of the "newbie" jitters), the interest that seems to be growing for this meeting has convinced me to attend...

Good to see new people coming by. Glad you can make it!!
