Huge Thank You to Doug and Gail for hosting the reef BBQ!

[Carmen]

:mrgreen:Just wanted to officially thank Doug and Gail for hosting the frag swap/BBQ. Beautiful night with awesome food! It was a huge success with a turnout of 20 people. Super great to chat with everyone and meet a couple new faces! Special Thanks to Lawrence (Pazil) for supplying a tonne of food/drinks and ofcourse many of you who brought snacks, salads, and desserts!

Everyone had a chance to oggle Doug's psycho amazing tank and many even snagged a few frags!:mrgreen:

Congrats to 365 Seasons, Xtreme, and Sharuq for winning the REDCORAL donated doorprizes!:smile:

That's awesome that it was such a great success, I wish I would have been able to participate...I did think of it, but that's a long drive!

[Key Equine]

Yup, it was a great evening! Thanks again to Doug and Gail!

Excellent turnout, great company and chat, and a great venue.... Thanks Doug and Gail for putting on a AWESOME BBQ / Swap. This was the first swap that Sharon and I had been to and I think this sets the bar pretty high for the next one. :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Sorry for the quality of the pics, they look better on the phone than on the PC. The little blond kids would be mine. :biggrin: The gorgeous tank is of course Fishytime's/Doug's.

There was this cute baby sparrow that must have fallen from it's nest in Doug's back yard. Just cute as a button. We put it on the bush in the front yard so that the dogs and cats hopefully wouldn't get it.

[fishytime]

Hey everybody.... Your all welcome....I was really worried about how many people would come , because there seemed to be a definite lack of activity about the swap about a month ago. I was pleasantly surprised by how many said they would come.

I wanna thank everyone for coming...Red Coral for donating the door prizes....Lawrence(Pazil) for helping with a hefty chunk of the food and bevies....Mike(MikeP), Sean(Xtreme) and Scott(Parkinsn)for bringing chairs and ice...Clair(Key Equine) for bringing munchies....Carmen for bringing the brownies(mmmmm)....and perhaps the biggest thanks to my g/f Gail, for helping me and making salads and, and ,and for putting up with us reef geeks for the evening.


We gotta do these things more often. I had tons of fun.

[Pazil]

I wanna thank Carmen for bringing the brownies(mmmmm).....

[365seasons]

beautiful home and garden. definitely more often on the fragswaps

I just wanna know when the next one will be! My roommate got to attend but I was out of town. This could be a bimonthly thing, no? At least during the summer it should be until we all hibernate during winter.
