Your local reef club

[tank o tang]

What type of events does your club do for their monthly meetings? What would be some of your favs or things you would like to see them do?

We are a new club but at some of our meetings we have have a lfs put on a fragging demo, we've had a bbq and tank view, discussions about our tanks, also just started a coral sharing program, and hopefully soon we will be making diy fish food, tank tour, aquarium trip, and more.

FREE FISH FOR EVERYONE.......Just kidding

Here is something that a few clubs here in the Chicago areas do.

Contact a local Saltwater fish / Coral store. Set up a time that the store can close to the public & your club will be the only members in there. The Shop can explain the basics of Reef & Fish Keeping. Like a seminar for everyone to learn. This is very good for the beginner or for someone looking to get into the hobby. They will give some of the DO'S..& DONT'S

This type of seminar can really help the new guy just looking.....to be a new Reefer.

The other thing is, talk to that Shop & encourage them to offer everyone a 10% discount on anything that they buy that night. This will not only help the Reefer but GOOD BUSINESS for that shop.

Some shops here Also hand out some coupons for 10% off if they make a purchase within 30 days. This is a GREAT way to get the LOOKER to get into this hobby. And again good business for them & premote repete business.
