Unarce
Unshackled
Hello again everyone!
Well, as of last night, we had 75 total positive votes from all the polls. Seventy-five just happened to be that magic number, and we hit it. Now, the hard part begins.
How about having it on the first weekend of November? I’m open to either Saturday or Sunday, but I’ll wait to hear what you all think.
I do have a venue in mind. What I witnessed at the last BAR and MARS Frag Swap, is that nearly everyone ate. I thought perhaps we might be able to enjoy a nice meal together during the swap. The venue has a large enough banquet hall to seat (no more standing around) at least 100 people, and doesn’t mind us having the 100’s of coral frags lying around everywhere.
I have no problem covering the deposit for the banquet hall. The only thing I’m really worried about is if everyone will want to have lunch at the swap. In order to attend, you have to have purchased a meal. We’ll need a minimum of 50 attendees (confirmed by advanced payment of your meal). I was quoted $13.25 per person. If the majority of you like the idea of having the event this way, than I can look into the 3 menu options that will be available to everyone.
This event will not be sanctioned by any of the surrounding clubs. So, I will be making it open to non-club members, too. If club officials do plan on attending, it could also be an opportunity for you to official join your local club.
This post will also be mirrored to the surrounding club RC Forums (RARE, BAR, NVR, CVR, SEABay, and MARS). I will check each one for comments, ideas, and concerns throughout the week.
Until then, HAPPY REEFING!
Best regards,
Karl

. The wife will be out of town around that time, so looks like I will be solo this time around.
