Local Club

I have some contacts down at the aquarium, I'd enjoy going down there sometime as a group but I'm with FarmerJo: a more centralized meeting place would be better. We have people out in Chilliwack that would like to be there.

Well,Im in.....
I know if you are a registered(aquatic)buisness you can go behind the scenes for free at the Vancouver Aquarium,as i did that about three months ago....only problem was they only have one reef display,and im afriad most of us have about the same amount of equipment behind the tank!

But still definatly a nice display though,and a good meeting place for a local club!

I think that if we ever get organized we should try and meet at a LFS (J&L in Coquitlam, Big Al's in Burnaby or Animal House in Chilliwack) for the first couple of meetings and then if people feel comfortable I think a monthly or so rotation of visiting each others tanks would be great. I think when the numbers finally come in there is a strong showing from the Abottsford and Chilliwack areas, who would have ever guessed? [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I'm with you Scott, a rotation would be great because I really do believe that there is a strong presence from the Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

How about calling the club the Lower Mainland reef club. Also, maybe we should poll the members and ask what night of the week would be good and then just call a general membership meeting at one of the sites. From that point we can discuss the finer details. That worked fine when we organized our local riding club.

another idea to think about might be to have the occasional meeting at a member's house so that we can see what each other's doing. We can also learn from each other that way.

I agree with the monthly rotation all we need is a volinteer I would love to but I work afternoons so kinda tuff if a saturday or sunday is good then lets do it I'm willing to be the one that everyone points and laughs about there tank

Well as for a club name and such I still have everything from setting up the club here in Vic. Web pages etc. It wouldn't be ahrd to swap it all over to say Vancouver. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Scott and I discussed it a while ago. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

The web page looks very good, I think it would be an excellent start Darren.

Hi Jamie, I would love to see your tank. I don't know if you remember but I met you at Paul's (LFS) a couple of years ago. It sounded to me like you had a pretty nice set up, I don't think there will be too much laughing. I'd prefer weekends myself. If you are willing then why don't we try for a Saturday or Sunday. What do the rest of you think?

Thanks for volunteering!
