treesprite April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 (edited) It's going to be at Bob's house Saturday April 25, 2009 from 1:00pm - 5:00 pm. This will be a mini frag fest and Bob will demonstrate with each of his various corals which he has so generously donated to WAMAS for this event. . . . . . . . . Just kidding!

gsedlack April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 As it is written....so shall it be done. Spring meeting/fraffest at Bob's
dbartco April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 I'm down for Bob's !!! We had a verbal for a well known speaker, but sort of fell through. Tried a few other and got commitments for later, but spring may turn out to just be a big swap/cookout/party somehwere fun and interesting. I'm certainly not going to complain as I might get to socialize!
lanman April 24, 2009 Author April 24, 2009 Sorry - even though the weather is going to be GREAT - I dont' think I could get set up for something like that by TOMORROW! We don't need no stinking speeeeeker! Frag swap/barbecue sounds like fun! bob

Leishman April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 ...............may turn out to just be a big swap/cookout/party . Can the club reach out to other clubs in MD VA PA etc....... and set up a "Coral Farmer's Market" like they do in CA and in the Mid West? It's just a huge gathering of people with frag tanks w/corals for sale and for trade (and have an auction of donated corals). We can give the auction $$ to the childrens cancer ward........ May be too much work, but it's a 'new' thing for this area.
Nate April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 I have been waiting for a meeting. It will be my first. Can't wait to meet members and talk saltwater. Lets make a date.

May be too much work, but it's a 'new' thing for this area. Seems like a great idea. All we would need is to find a date that won't conflict with other clubs' meetings, get a cafeteria and have some snacks.
Sikryd April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 That would be nice to get a Coral Farmers Market out here. Especially before MACNA Location could be at the same place we have our CMAS meetings. I can check...
Leishman April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 Location could be at the same place we have our CMAS meetings. I can check... No, it should be closer to DC.
Almon April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 Can the club reach out to other clubs in MD VA PA etc....... and set up a "Coral Farmer's Market" like they do in CA and in the Mid West? Great idea! Someone should run with it....

May be too much work, but it's a 'new' thing for this area. I'm down. BBQ cookout outdoor frag swap. It might not be too much work if the other clubs were invited to participate "if they like" and not try and make a whole coordinated giant event. Of course all your coral is going to look like crap since the sun isn't 20k and photoshop doesn't just blow in the wind.....
Jan April 28, 2009 April 28, 2009 How many people usually show up to the meetings? I'd mentioned to several WAMAS members that it may be nice to have a WAMAS get together at one of the private beaches on the lake in my neighborhood. We have 5 sandy beaches but there's one just for such occasions with BBQ grills, stage w/electricity, gazebo, large lawn area and a sandy beach w/life gurads. Renting the beach would not cost a lot, under $200.00 I think. I have to check. Let me know if the powers at be would be interested.

Jan April 28, 2009 April 28, 2009 wow !! that lake is gorgeous, I bet there's some good fishing there too. My understanding is that it is very good fishing. It's fully stocked. We also get fresh sand on all 5 beaches every year and the bacteria and other levels are tested every month.

Hopefullly we can ge something worked out.

We also get fresh sand on all 5 beaches every year and the bacteria and other levels are tested every month. It also looks like a nice spot of get some SCUBA. I'd opt for a place like that to have a meeting. I'd split the $200 fee to enjoy the day and see that view. Id also split the cost of food and drink to those who are willing to make this happen.
Jan April 29, 2009 April 29, 2009 Nice spot for picnic. Where is this lake? It's in Falls Church. It's called Lake Barcroft.
