BTW - This no longer applies to the Calgary SE/SW - Anyone who is in driving distance of Calgary would be welcome.

I like it.

I have a suggestion though. While These are great ideas (tank tour, frag swap), might I suggest that these be in addition to a regular (once a month ?) meet at a restaurant or pub ?

Why ? Well, it means that no one has to own that task (or clean up after !). A reminder would go out on CanReef a few days to a week prior and people pipe-up as to whether they are going or not so you know you won't be there alone.

Then, tank tours and/or frag swaps can be added to the schedule when and where someone is willing to organize them. Personally, I think once a regular group starts meeting then willingness to organize/host tours and swaps will increase.

I'm trying to think of a suitable venue <scratches head>....thinking perhaps something just off Deerfoot; more or less central north-south wise; needs to have reasonable space available -preferably with movable tables to easily accomodate different group sizes- and has BEER !!! (mmmm.....beer.)

I was going to suggest this as well. The folks in Edmonton and Vancouver have monthly meets, I'm sure us reefers here in Calgary could come up with something that works. And yes, beer is always a good thing to have around.

Maybe we should start a new thread discussing this?

Yes, but the title of the thread is "Who is in the SE/SW". I just figured making a new thread with a title mentioning something about monthly reef meetings might work better. The first 40 some posts in this thread don't talk about a central meeting place, and I'm sure there may be others interested who aren't necessarily following this thread.

I like the idea of of tank tours and frag swaps and would be more than willing to host one in the future once things from the summer settle down.

I think what we should do is put up a seperate thread with a public place ie. pub or restaurant to break the ice. Someplace in Deerfoot Meadows may work as it has good access from all areas of the city.

If I get a seconder I will put up the thread for all of Calgary to come.
