I agree with much of the sentiments expressed above. I would like to see the club also evolve into an organized entity with an executive. My focus is also geared towards regular club meetings, knowledge exchange, frag trading, group purchases and local LFS discounts and possible sponsorships.

I like the idea of local experienced reefers doing seminars at meetings on topics such as fraging, DIY, coral care and propigation, etc.

I think membership fees are necessary to allow us to do things like eventually host our own webspace and discussion area. I also believe we have a vast pool of experience, knowledge and resources to draw upon within the membership of the club to help with such things as the creation and continuing publication of a club newsletter, production of club posters, etc.

Lets all post our input and start this new venture the right way.
