Who is in the SE/SW?
 

I am wanting to come see some members set ups and pick some brains for knowledge. Who lives in the SE or SW? The more I learn the more we could babysit each others tanks.

There are a handful of southerners on the board but some days I swear we're in the minority with a good chunk of the cool kids living within a stone's throw of RC.

Anyhow I'm down in Evergreen. If that's close by to you drop me a line sometime! :)

Copperfield represent.

There are a couple of other too but I will let them chime in.

Andrew

I am in Bridlewood, about 5 minutes from Tony (Delphinus)

Always love chatting reef talk.

Somerset here

Douglasdale

I'd also like the chance to meet some of the SW/SE reefers and share knowledge. I wish there was more interest in semi regular events / meetups.

Brad

Applewood SE

Just at the boarder of the hood, but still SE according to the map hhahaha.
If anyone's close to apple it would be sick to trade frags or something.

Maybe all that's needed is someone to step in and organize an event :) I think someone posted something about another Calgary frag meet not too long ago and there was a lot of interest but no one could step forward to actually organize it :)

Not in SE/SW but i am in Sherwood NW :-)

Sw
 

Bridlewood for me

Lakeview here

WOW, so we got alot of members here in a small area. We need to all get together. I would offer my place but its not the biggest house in the area and my tank is nothing special to look at.

Who's going to step up here? I guess whoever decideds to host this will get to pick when we do it.

I'm also hopeing to do a tour of a few different members tanks the same evening.

What does everyone think?

More importantly, I think it would be worthwhile to organize a caravan/carpool to Frag Fest in Edmonton.

Even if we got a table at a lounge someplace to sit & BS that would be fine. My VW club does one once a month and it is just a drop in type of thing and chat with whoever is there over a couple of beverages.

Andrew

Signal Hill here

Douglasdale here myself, I would be open for hosting something at my house if we can get this going. Lots of room in the back, putting green and a big firemagic BBQ to boot.

My frag tank is finally full after years of anticipation so I will be having people over anyways, might as well host one of these to meet all of my fellow reef geeks :lol:.

There is a club in town called the Calgary Reefkeepers (www.calgaryreefkeepers.ca). Maybe sign up and start suggesting some of those things to the club members as well :-)

frag meet
 

i'm in cranston.
did someone say frag meet? i'm in !
i could do alittle trimmin!
was goin to join the reefkeepers, the site seems to be down for maintenence.

clubbers
 

well just had a look around the calgary reefkeepers site and considering the amount of people here in town i thought i would have seen more members maybe i was looking in the wrong spot but i think i saw maybe 4 members tell me this isn't so!

I was told that all of the activity around "calgaryreefkeepers" took place on canreef. If I was mislead, please correct me.

Anyway, I'd really like to participate in a frag meet. I have some frags to trade, but would mostly enjoy meeting other reefers and chatting (maybe over a beer?)

I'm out of town between June 26 and July 12th. Hopefully it can be arranged afterwards? Just thought I'd put that out there :smile:

I took a look at CRK as well and there does not seem to be much action there. Not sure why.

It is too bad since it may be a good vehicle to set up things like frag swaps etc.

I dont have any frags to move right now as I am just looking to stock 3 tanks that I am just in the process of setting up, but would be more than willing to buy frags off people at such an event.

Andrew

At the CAS mtgs we were talking about a frag swap, but it wasn't expected until October, I kinda complained that it would be too cold...so maybe September. I wasn't for sure though on who exactly was putting this on?

The reason why is the same reason why you probably won't get much movement here either.. Someone needs to actually step in and take charge so that things get done. There is no doubt that there is a lot of interest but there is a definite lack of leadership unfortunately.

Sounds Awesome to me! When?!! LOL

I'm back from holidays at the beggining of July, I'm thinking around the 10th or so If we can muster it this quickly?

Sounds like my work.:lol:

Well maybe this is the start of something. It sounds like Zoaelite metioned doing something when he opens up his frag tank.

At some point later in the summer I would not mind hosting a "come by and have a beer BS about stuff & frag swap meet" event. I would do it sooner but there is a 500 sq. ft hole in my back yard that the weather will not allow me to adress.

Maybe September after everyone is back in town after summer holidays.

The other option is to just say "meet at this bar/restaurant/coffee shop" and whoever shows up does.

Andrew

The following weekend might work even better :smile:

I say Lets do It! Even if its quick and dirty and only a few of us can get together the first time. I personally am not at the frag level yet but would just love to meet fellow reefers.

zoa Elite, If your willing to host the first one then tell us where and when and what you want us to bring. Chips, pop, frags?

:multi:Zoa, Zoa, Zoa, Zoa, Zoa!:multi:

Thats me cheering for Zoa as motivation!!!!!!

p.s. Dont let this stop you but I am out of commission from June 22nd untill July 1st. Going under the Knife! :laluot_14: ( LOL, that animated pic is so wrong)

Who is in the SE/SW?
 

I propose the afternoon of Saturday July 17th??

Who is in the SE/SW?
 

+1. I should be more healed by then.

That's what we Edmontonians do. Once a month (usually the 1st Sunday of the month) we go to Montana's around 1pm. We sit, eat, drink and enjoy fish talk. There is usually a few of us who always go and then some new people on different months join in the fun.

Come on everyone. this thread was goingt so good. All kinds of interest. I am available to do this anytime still. I will even offer up my own house if I need to. The downfalls of my house is no drinking and my tank is new and boring! Who's going to start the trend?

I'm in Deer Ridge. Count me in for a casual meetup...not sure I can bring any leadership because I'm fairly lame and pathetic at the moment :biggrin:

Mac Towne for me,

Colin

Strathcona here, count me in for a meet up. I'm still a newb just growing out current frags but would be in for a get together.

Palmer

I'm totally up for one as well

How can we create a poll to see first of all what day of the week works best for everyone? Then another poll to pick the date. Am I doing this at my house? Remember, no drinking, and crappy tank.

I'm in Elgin. Doug

so tomorrow is tuesday and according to the poll its a good time so where are we meeting......................tomorrow at say 700 pm? i could bring some pulsing xenia if anyone needs any my other stuff isnt quite ready yet.

Are we having it at your house? I appreciate the enthusiasum but let's plan at least a week ahead of time. Plus only me and you have said Tuesday is good so far. And I am in the hospital. So that just leaves you haha. What about next week Tuesday?

I noticed the poll does not allow for Sunday? Is this for religous reasons? If so we should probably take Saturday out too! :lol:
