What would it take?

If there was a fair number of salt water people joining the Calgary Aquarium Society I'd probably give it a whirl.

But in my past experiences I've found that clubs and so on can be too organized.

I truley enjoy the informal meet and greet things that just happen with the salt water people that I've met here on the board. I don't think this can be duplicated in a club setting.

I hope I'm not coming across in a negative way when I say this. (This is not my intent.)

It's just my opinion that "bigger is not always better".

When these informal reef meetings take place, they feel more like a relaxing visit with an old freind than a discussion with an agenda and recorded minutes.

I have been in the aquarium hobby for around 25 years and in reef keeping for the last 3 or 4 years.

This group of reefers where a big influence in sparking my intrest when I was planning on just getting out of it. (And the informal setting was the best part for me.)

Thanks for reading my rant.

Cheers.

Thanks G1GY. I take all critisism and comments in stride (nothing REALLY bothers me in those terms). I do agree with a formal meet and greet. I think that they work a lot better for getting to know people.

You have all given me so many more ideas and i thank you for it all. As i said, keep em coming i do enjoy getting all these comments.
