But, I will be the first to say that I am not a fan of the quarterly thing. A meeting does not have to have frag swaps, demos, speakers or anything else. In my opinion a meeting is when a "group" (read as two or more) of people get together somewhere and discuss aquarium related stuff (and maybe even not aquarium related stuff).

I think, at the next BIG MEETING I will give a bit of a speech or, should I say, tour of Reef Central and let everyone know exactly how to become more involved in these meeting decisions. There are tons of people who have no idea what Reef Central is, much less how to go about view updates, or even putting their own 2 cents in. It would help this club and hobbyists in this area to become more acquainted with this forum. [/B]

The more I read, and the more I think about it, I'm in agreement with Mini Meetings might be a fun idea.
I'm about to start the ZeoVit Method and completely erase everything I have every learned about Nutrient control! LOL!
Ive been researching Zeo for the past 2 years and I have finally convinced myself to take the plunge and become a ZeoHead!
anyway..
May Meeting is a possibility...
Raise of hands for a may meeting and where..
The ONLY concern I have with the may meeting is that not all of our members are so acquainted with this forum.
So a lot of our fellow hobbyists don't even know about this discussion going on.. so how are we to get the word out?
LFS?
how?...

someone could make a flyer and put in a store about current discussions on reef central about a MAY EARS meeting
also dont forget we still have aqua pets on 431 that would probably like to host a meeting.
Aqua Pets moved to a smaller section of the store, we could still meet there but it might get crowded.

Hey everybody,
Let me start by saying I am about a yr into the hobby and I am consumed by it!! I mean everyday I do something for at least an hour or more on the internet with aquariums, coral, fragging, and reef central related stuff. As much as I am involved I have not attended any meetings as of yet, but not because I havent wanted to. I was planning on attending the last at Aqua Escapes but I had a Tball ball game that I was coaching.
I will say that in my opinion I am the perfect reason why you wouldnt wanna have monthly meetings. I am located in Moody but Im not that far away so it would be nothing for me to attend however, in Jan I was gonna drive over for the meeting but didnt. I didnt have anything major going on but I just thought to myself " I will catch the next one". So I think what would happen is that if you have 20 people like me coming to every 4th meeting ....thats only 5 per meeting. And Im sure that would be enjoyable for the 5 who showed but wouldnt you rather have meetings with 15-20 people?
I also like the idea of having diff things going on with meetings.... for example 1st quarter you have a frag swap and 2nd quarter maybe a fragging demo, 3rd quarter maybe a speaker, and the 4th have a big one with all of the above??? And we all know that even if you arent having a frag swap specifically....people will still have threads with things for sale or trade at all meetings
I would say the mini meetings would be great and tougher for me to attend but i would try and catch a few here and there.
Now that you have imput from someone who has never attended a meeting lol (but will attend many in the future) I just wanted to say I look forward to meeting all of you and hope I can somehow contribute however I can in the future : )
