Gatortailale March 13, 2007 Share March 13, 2007 Would someone PLEASE put out special nametags or stickers for the noobs and first-time meeting attendees? I brought my family to the first meeting I attended and no one bothered to introduce themselves. We left early thinking the WAMAS group was a bunch of snobs. I stuck around and now know that this is not true but I've heard similar comments from others over the past year. All we need is a sticker - "HI! I'm New!" or "Hello! This is my first meeting!" Hi bob, Thanks for volunteering to work the door and welcome people to the meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCDeacon March 13, 2007 Share March 13, 2007 I'll be there. Wearing something with Wake Forest on it, hopefully with Demon Deacons in large print, to serve as my nametag/identifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copps March 13, 2007 Share March 13, 2007 I will not be there :( I will be on a weekend bender Hope Copps won't bore you too much with his fish talk........ Wow Rik... you need it... it's been a while since you got blitzed... I'm sure my talk would sound better coming from your mouth and your half British/half Maryland accent... :wink: To all the new members welcome! Julian is a great speaker and his topic (Old tank Syndrome) is a very common thing and something we all need to avoid for long term success. Hopefully my talk will be interesting to newbies and experienced alike... The only person I don't see liking it is Leishman, but wherever he's at he won't be hearing much anyway... Also, Raf started a "Who are you?" thread so we could post pictures of us so we could recognize who's who... Copps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal March 13, 2007 Share March 13, 2007 i agree that there should be more of an effort. it seems the only way to meet ppl is buying or selling stuff. the only people i met were from the auction in december and people i have bought stuff from.

jamal March 13, 2007 Share March 13, 2007 thats true and a lot of folks were nice and helped me but i think its a bit intimidating to have to reach out to strangers even in a community as friendly as this one. and when my corals grow i will be looking out for those who helped me when i was starting and also giving free corals to other struggling aquarists. as it should be. but i feel alot better knowing the faces of some of the ppl i talk to on here.

jamesbuf March 13, 2007 Share March 13, 2007 nothing wrong with being a poor student. Just means you're trying to better yourself. Unfortunately it does lead to a crunch in you reef budget. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal March 14, 2007 Share March 14, 2007 Hi bob, Thanks for volunteering to work the door and welcome people to the meeting. Figures... I help set up, break down, run speaker wires, take out the trash and even bag frags during the fragging workshop. Now you want me to work admissions and play WAMAS greater as well? This gig doesn't pay near enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOT March 16, 2007 Share March 16, 2007 Heyall! I am a newbie and will be there. Looking forward to it. ~Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mammoth March 16, 2007 Share March 16, 2007 I'm going to try and make it. It really depends on how the well or bad (half full...half empty) the previous night goes If I make it, I do have a home made 20L sump and 600gph overflow that I could sell or trade. I will also be making my first appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triggerfish31 March 16, 2007 Share March 16, 2007 I am planning on being there. My first meeting was also at the National Aquarium. I plan to start filling my 75 gallon tank this weekend. Hopefully I will be ready to buy a clean up crew by the next meeting. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
