Jan April 29, 2012 Share April 29, 2012 (edited) It was a really great meeting. Thank you Copps for getting Bob as a speaker, and thank you WAMAS officers for yet another very well run meet. It's always nice to see everyone. Maybe we can can get Bob back to discuss a topic common to us reefers? He's a wealth of knowledge and obviously likes sharing it. I really liked how he was so comfortable going off topic and so open to discussing everything and anything. He's down to earth, fun and funny too.

Jennylynn9579 April 29, 2012 Share April 29, 2012 ^ +1 to everything, this was my first meeting, and I was really happy to walk out with a gift card and 2 extra frags! Thanks to Graham for the highlighter stag, I can pick out his sealed bags anyway, and I got a good size chunk of red monti cap from someone else! THANKS to everyone!

Ryan S April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Ditto. Was my first meeting well and it was great. Thanks to everyone for putting it together. Bob was a great speaker. I do think that Doug and Hilary won too many raffle items though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbgen12 April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 (edited) Definitely a great meeting and experience!! It was my first meeting since joining WAMAS about 3 weeks ago and I love what goes on. I would like to add that the coral I got from Valeria, hdreef, gws3, and Mr Salt all look amazing already. My frogspawn and torch coral are already opened up and really make the tank come alive! Big thanks! Edited April 30, 2012 by nbgen12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Touhey April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 It was a great first meeting for me. Bob Fenner's book was one of a couple that finally got me in the hobby over 10 years ago (and will probably lead to my financial ruin, but it's a great ride). So it was great to hear him speak. There were lots of great people there, and tones of great stuff available. I can't wait for frag fest, I'll definitely be a regular attendee from now on.

kobustabus April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 (edited) Beginner to the hobby and attended yesterday's meeting and I have to say it was great. The friendliness of everyone there and the knowledge shared definitely made me glad to be part of the group and excited to be getting into this as a hobby. Hearing Bob Fenner speak was also amazing... what a great personality!... and the opportunity to have him autograph my book... very cool. I just wanted to post a little message to say my many thanks to Jennylynn9579 for the assortment of colorful zoas and green-blue mushroom frags, Pacific East Aquaculture for the great pieces of reef covered in zoas, mushrooms, and star polyps ... all making an immediate impact as beautiful pieces and my first corals... and to everyone that has helped me start up and edge me closer to have a great reef system. Thanks also to the folks responsible for planning and execution of the meeting. As my first one, I thought it was great and am looking forward to Frag Fest and more posts and advice along the way. Thanks again and have a great week! Edited April 30, 2012 by Origami merged separate, but similar thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Here is the book he wrote: http://www.amazon.com/The-Conscientious-Marine-Aquarist-Commonsense/dp/1890087025/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1335808716&sr=8-3-fkmr0 One of the best books in the hobby IMO.

copps April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 What a great meeting! I've spoken for clubs around the nation and I have to say that our group of officers and people working behind the scenes at WAMAS is absolutely top notch. I've seen the very good and the very bad clubs and WAMAS is at the top of the list in all respects! Thanks so much to everyone that makes WAMAS the great club that it is!

dbartco April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 Dang, Doug wins all the time. $20 tickets in the frags and $20 in the MS gift cards yeilded $75 in prizes (well, $100, but I am nice) and 4 great frags probably worth $100. Pay to play, and yee shall recieve! You guyss keep stuffing the big ticket items and loosing. Or you can just blame Jon Fisher's kid with the baby blues. Thanks to all the vendors and members that donated, whether goodies or their time to help, to make it another nice meeting. Bob is such a wealth of information, it was a shame he was limited on only one topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
