I have to second most of what Beth says.
I really enjoy the laidback approach to the hobby we have going on now. The board is great for communicating with others in your area as well as further away. Everyone has been more than helpful with all the problems or questions Ive had so far.
I would very rarely if ever go to a formal meeting with ACE. It doesn't interest me at all. The $25 could be spent on some mod for my system or a nice coral. Personally I think the informal get-togethers that already are going on are the best way to go. A little food, a little frag swapping, a little bit of fish geeks having fun and talking shop.
As far as renting a hall. Im still up in the air on that. I like the fact that more people can come, but I think it will be more hassle than it is worth. If im wrong so be it...
