At the CAS mtgs we were talking about a frag swap, but it wasn't expected until October, I kinda complained that it would be too cold...so maybe September. I wasn't for sure though on who exactly was putting this on?

It is too bad since it may be a good vehicle to set up things like frag swaps etc.

I dont have any frags to move right now as I am just looking to stock 3 tanks that I am just in the process of setting up, but would be more than willing to buy frags off people at such an event.

The reason why is the same reason why you probably won't get much movement here either.. Someone needs to actually step in and take charge so that things get done. There is no doubt that there is a lot of interest but there is a definite lack of leadership unfortunately.

My frag tank is finally full after years of anticipation so I will be having people over anyways, might as well host one of these to meet all of my fellow reef geeks .

Sounds Awesome to me! When?!! LOL

Sounds like my work.

Well maybe this is the start of something. It sounds like Zoaelite metioned doing something when he opens up his frag tank.

At some point later in the summer I would not mind hosting a "come by and have a beer BS about stuff & frag swap meet" event. I would do it sooner but there is a 500 sq. ft hole in my back yard that the weather will not allow me to adress.

Maybe September after everyone is back in town after summer holidays.

The other option is to just say "meet at this bar/restaurant/coffee shop" and whoever shows up does.

Andrew

I say Lets do It! Even if its quick and dirty and only a few of us can get together the first time. I personally am not at the frag level yet but would just love to meet fellow reefers.

zoa Elite, If your willing to host the first one then tell us where and when and what you want us to bring. Chips, pop, frags?

Zoa, Zoa, Zoa, Zoa, Zoa!

Thats me cheering for Zoa as motivation!!!!!!

p.s. Dont let this stop you but I am out of commission from June 22nd untill July 1st. Going under the Knife! ( LOL, that animated pic is so wrong)

Even if we got a table at a lounge someplace to sit & BS that would be fine. My VW club does one once a month and it is just a drop in type of thing and chat with whoever is there over a couple of beverages.

That's what we Edmontonians do. Once a month (usually the 1st Sunday of the month) we go to Montana's around 1pm. We sit, eat, drink and enjoy fish talk. There is usually a few of us who always go and then some new people on different months join in the fun.
