It would be kinda cool to meet up every so often with other SW/Reefers and anyone interested in getting into the "bright side" of the hobby. Not a club, just a get together to help each other out with tips and of course Tim's coffee. Sounds like it was a fun couple of hours. Anyone out there interested? I would do a poll but I've got no idea how to set it up.

Hardest part about that is getting commitment on a regular basis from people it is a good idea in principle but putting it into action is a different story because say you will be at Timmie's on this day at xx time come join me you will find that people have good intent but have trouble with commitments like that you might get 1 or 2 or you might get 20 its a crap shoot

We do that every winter here in PG. We call it the Annual Reef Tank Tour and its been going on for the past 8 years. Its a get-together, hobby promoter, education tool, networking social extravaganza... To imitate just find a few people who feel comfortable having a couple of strangers come into their home, pick some dates, throw up some posters and plaster it all over the internet. If you build it they will come.

Something also worth mentioning is that somebody recently started a Facebook group called Prince George B.C. Salt Water Community. Currently it is at 35 members and growing.

I've done that for Victoria, and we have 41 members so far. There is also a buy/sell themed Vancouver Island group, with over 250 members.
