This is our first year! Born as an idea on our local website in early 2013, and building on the success of similar meets and swaps (Toronto, Michigan). London is a very central location in Southwestern Ontario, easy distance to Toronto, Windsor, Michigan, Sarnia, Kitchener, St. Catherines, Buffalo, Chatham, Goderich, Kincardine and many more. There is an ever increasing 'reef enthusiast' population in Southwestern Ontario and Northeastern United States. This is a chance for many groups and people to meet and exchange goods and ideas.
First and foremost, this is a fun event where hopefully people can get access to many corals they otherwise may never see. Our area is blessed with an abundance of elite reefkeepers who from time to time share pieces of their fantastic colonies, and often at prices you would never otherwise see! Trade, sell or buy, that's the idea! As with many things, your trash maybe someone else's treasure! Who knows, you might even make a few bucks, make some new friends or simply learn about the wonders of reefkeeping.

All are welcome to attend, or rent a table to show off their products or wares. From retailers to simple hobbyists, you'll never know who you might meet at one of these things.

Being our first year, there may be some hiccups, but hopefully nothing too major. We're hoping this will be a fun annual event.

Tentatively it is set for 12pm-4pm on Saturday June 1st, at the London-Lambeth Legion just as the sun begins to shine! (Directions)

Proceeds from the event go to the Boy's and Girls club of London, a a non-profit recreational facility that provides activities for children, seniors and families in need.
 
It's official, a full house....

It was a huge success, thanks everyone who made it out, and look forward to more people next year! :)
 
I should mention that this year the event cleared $1100.00 CAN that went to the London Food Bank, in addition to the money the legion made.

We're going to do it next year, but on the Sunday so that we can get the upper and lower levels (they had a dance going on in the bar, and it was weird going in there with my finding nemo balloon hat on).

Thank you again sincerely to everyone that made it out, vendors and enthusiasts!!
