GVRD December Social Meet Town Hall Pub Coquitlam Dec 19th

Well, it's that time again and, with Christmas looming, it may be difficult for some of you to make it.

This date is the best I can come up with after talking to a few members, so I hope you can make it !

[WarDog]

I'm in.

[The Guy]

I thought this one was in North Van?

[Wretch]

Be there with bells on

Greg's organizing this one... so the usual local.

Honestly Laurie, those of you who don't like the noise of a pub atmosphere should consider starting your own get togethers.
We talked about this months ago but I haven't seen you go with it yet.
It wouldn't be a big deal for you to start a thread with a meet in a restaurant or such, as you suggested.
Why not give it a go and see where it leads?

My question was " I thought it was in North Van" which was answered thanks Warren, thought we were all trying to keep this as a group thing, not everyone having there own little group meetings, Hey Greg your right I would prefer a quieter meeting place with better seating so we can all talk to each other without having to yell or move around from chair to chair. It was an opinion only and offered as another option. I was kinda looking forward to seeing some of the North Van guys attend is all, but hey maybe the next one. See you all on the 19th. :razz:

Oh ok see you on the 19th. :smile:

[Bblinks]

In there like swimwear!

[rsisvixen]

Maybe for next year we could do a tank tour? Once a month meet at someones place and check out their tanks and setups etc? steal a frag, that kind of thing ;)

Sounds like a grand idea!

[gregzz4]

I missed the Oct meet so it's been 4 months since I've been to one and I'm going through withdrawls.
Nobody had started a new thread so shoot me for suggesting a place where there's good food and members have been showing up. If there was a conversation about it during the Oct meet then I apologize for not being there to hear it.

For the next meet, I've started a new poll and we'll let the masses decide where to go.

Glad you had a good time Brian, you'll find that most people that are into reef keeping are willing to share their experience and help out with no hesitation.
Hopefully see you at future 2016 get togethers. :yo:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Sorry I couldn't make this one. I spent the weekend at my friend's cabin in the States with my family. Glad everyone had a good time.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

If you all want, you're welcome to come over here in S.Burnaby and hold your "meeting" at my place. I'll fire up the bbq, marinade up some chicken & maybe ribs and it'll be BYOB. I'm free most of January.

[chefpaakk]

Now that sounds like a good time! Haha I can help cook if need be!

You guys are more than welcome to organize a BBQ meet any time.

Anthony, I was going to take you up on your offer to have something in the summer, perhaps even incorporate a frag swap!

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

I have a big covered deck so that's where my main Weber BBQ "lives" all winter so its not a problem to fire it up and grill some meat, seafood and even veg kabobs.

[Etaloche]

I'd love to come out to a meeting in January if it happens, hopefully my tank will be running by then and would love to chat and learn some more. BBQ sounds like an awesome time.
