How to start a Reef club?

[PhatSOB]

Hi guys/gals,

I live in PEI and we have a very hard time getting anything here. Right now I am the only person that I know of that has a reef tank around here other than the LFS with the $90 mushroom (size of a nickel, yeah right but she is just trying to cover her costs). I want some info from anyone that either runs one or has started one in the past. I haven't had a chance to talk to the lady at the LFS yet but I am assuming that having her on board will make things easier. I can't see anyway that this would hurt a LFS, the more group orders that are done, the more people that need stuff, the better for her. Is there any other hints and tips that you guys can offer to help me get this started up. I would love to have a group of loacls that we could meet with and swap frags and tips etc.

Thanks for your time and help.
