Hi all.
This is an idea that Mitch and myself have been toying with for awhile now. As much as both of us enjoy going up to Toronto for MAST or Kitchener for MASK they make for late nights. I have also noticed that there seem to be more and more reefers from the Niagara Region that are interested in going to MAST but just can't find the time, etc , to make the drive.
What we are planning is to have (hopefully) monthly meetings that would be held at different members houses (tanks:D ). The meetings would be fairly informal. A place to talk with fellow reefers, share ideas and knowledge, hopefully FRAGS:dance: etc.
There is a club in the states, The Upstate Reef Society, that we are hoping to model these gatherings after. Very informal, no dues, host usually provides some sort of finger food and juice, pop etc. If you want anything else to drink its a BYO situation. The club in the states typically holds their meeting on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, but that's not to say that we have to do the same. Once we get some people talking in this forum and thread we could try to pick a day that best suits everyone to get together.
I suggest the first meeting , because most are busy in the summer, be sometime in September. If there is more interest in doing something before September then i am ok with that too.
If you are from the Niagara area and are interested in this idea please be sure to subscribe to this thread so that you will receive e-mail notification when new replies are posted to this thread.
Thank you
Scott
