Sorry Fencer, don't think pennies are going to help me!
I NEED a credit card, preferably unlimited spending, can't trace back to me...

[HaZRaTTy]

Sounds perfect about the time my tank will be cycled and good to go what great timing!:mrgreen::lol:

[Hustler]

Will you guys be meeting again before this?

[fencer]

Not likely

[ALang]

Where are we meeting first??
How about we all meet at store #1, we we can car-pool together to the next couple of the store??

:biggrin: Edmonton GREEN store tours:mrgreen: every city will be jealous:mrgreen:!!

[BlueWorldAquatic]

I might be in to if I can't get enough stands ordered to pay for my massive LED build for the new 300. Last yrs tour was great except for the fact we were about an hr behind everyone else as usual.

[BlueTang<3]

2 days ? Did we do this last year ? Well be there

[fencer]

1.This year, at the request of Vendors, we need to have a tag that shows that we qualify for the discounts on that day. I will issue them ASAP in the coming weeks.

1a. Maybe we will have a short meeting this month.

2. Alang has suggested that we go as a group. I am not sure how that is going to work. Maybe a couple of people can volunteer as drivers to the various stores on that date so we can go as a group. If you have any thoughts on this LMK

Other Notes:

No meeting in DEC ( unless it is a gift exchange )
No meeting in Jan ( unless you want to regift items you got for Xmas)
Feb 2012 is the next Meeting

[outacontrol]

Why not just make some thing up and then we can just print it off?
Or print a screen shot from Canreef?

It will be a pain trying to meet up and get some tag to qualify.

[fencer]

Great Idea....I will

[Beverly]

Oooh! Sounds like a lot of fun :)

[ALang]

Wait! ...I hope that the new card will get here in time for me to CHARGE-IT!!
Otherwise, I might just have to tag along, counting all my pennies as I go...

We can meet at the first stop around the appointed time, and then we can decide if we still want to car-pool. Don't think too many of us will do it if there is only a couple of stores at a time to see. Probably just turn around and drive home after last stop. Still, thought I'd toss it out there for consideration.

Oh, remember to bring along an insulated bag, with a couple of towels inside for the comfort of critters for our cold weather.
Can't wait!

[The Grizz]

:sad::sad: not going to make it this year...:sad::sad:

[fishoholic]

Why are we doing this over two weekends? For people coming from out of town they likely wont be able to go both weekends in a row. I know sometimes people don't always make it to all the stores or run out of steam towards the end but personally I'd like to have it all on the same day.

Agreed, if there was a vote on which weekend I wold have to say the Dec one because of the wife xmas party she has been planning for the last month.

+ 1 I for example will not come in for 2 seperate weekends, total waste of gas doing this over 2 weekends! Also a waste of time to commit 2 weekends to fish store shopping won't go over well with the family.

Exactly. Also dec 3 works better for me too since nov 26 is my friends Christmas gift exchange party

Vendors please be aware that your specials are effective on the date that you were assigned to

[fishoholic]

Vendors please be aware that your specials are effective on the date that you were assigned to

Just wondering why it's being held over two weekends this year instead of all on the same day like we've done in the past?

[fencer]

It was held over two weekends last year. This was done because it was too many stores to visit on one day and people usually spent most of the cash in the first store they visited. There are a couple other reasons, but I am sure if the specials are good, people will find some time to drop in and take advantage of them. Remember the vendors can extend the sale if they wish or modify if a person can't make it on that day....I have no say in this

[ALang]

Mostly a thankless job, being an organizer.
Cannot please everyone, no matter what you do...
Either way, I'll see you guys there. Everyone going to Blue world first??
Well, I guess it doesn't matter, since we are not car-pooling anyway.

[blacknife]

Dam. Just realized i am on call on the 3rd. Might. Have to do something about that and give them vendors a fair chance to empty my wallet, i mean fill up my tank, yeah. Thats what i mean.

[fishoholic]

I just checked back in old posts and you're right it was over two weekends last year. I was in Calgary for one of the weekends and that's why I remember it only being on one day. I went on the 27th last year to AI and RC but if I remember right Ken from BW did sales both weekends so that the people who couldn't come on the 4th wouldn't miss out, which was why I was thinking it was all on the same day last year.

[ALang]

Very nice of Ken at Blue World to do that!!

I totally dont have a printer, spend all my money on the fish. :redface: Does everyone know who we are?

[fencer]

Even I know you Wes...

[ALang]

You can meet up with the rest of us, Wes.
Hey, if you have time to bring me that Bonsai frag, it'd be great, too.
If not, next year, maybe...:lol:

[fencer]

bump

[BlueWorldAquatic]

As this isn't a competition, nor do I want to confuse my staff too badly, I'll make my specials simple.

20% across the board on all livestock & drygoods.

35% on all frags

Live rock at $5 / Pound


All Gift Certificates purchased will receive a second BONUS certificate for 20% of the ORIGINAL Certificate. (ie. $100 purchased, you will recieve one for $100, a second one for $20)


Wes? who's wes? better have ID :question:

I dont understand why this is necessary. As Wes mentioned... they pretty much know who we are. And if anyone walked into a store and said Canreef that should be enough. It would say hey... "i know about the canreef sale". Its not like this is a special club or something.

I boycott the pass as I have no inclination to waste paper for it.

Just my opinion.


EDIT... I read some earlier posts..... come on vendors. Really? Member of Canreef or know someone. Thats gotta be the entire hobby group.

I still have no intention to waste paper on it. Will flashing it on my iPhone be enough?

[paddyob]

:sad::sad: not going to make it this year...:sad::sad:

Dont worry Greg... I'll buy stuff for you. :wink:

[reefme]

+1 Will flashing it on my iPhone

[RedCoralEdmonton]

As a special event we are also going to be selling 1 MP10WES, 1 Aqua Illuminations SOL Super Blue, and 1 Prodibio Pack(30 vial Biodigest, 30 vial Bioptim, and a 30 vial Reefbooster) THESE WILL BE A DOOR CRASHER SPECIAL, the pricing is so low that we can not even advertise them!

If you are looking for any of these items, you will not find a better price anywhere brand new! Our doors open at 11am on Dec. 3rd! First come, first served!

Steve

[BlueTang<3]

Ill have to camp there to get there first so I can get that sol .

[fencer]

See first post for updates

[blacknife]

bla bla extra cheap goodies bla bla, THESE WILL BE A DOOR CRASHER SPECIAL, blah blah if your not there to rip down the door with wes your not getting it blah....

Steve

Be carefull what you ask for!:twised:

[fishoholic]

Will flashing it on my iPhone be enough?

I don't have a printer at home and in case I forget to print it off at work, I was thinking I could flash it on my iphone

[fencer]

Flashiong it on the iphone is fine

[BlueTang<3]

Hi fencer,

Thanks so much for putting the Christmas store tours together and keeping it going. You rock, dude!

[mr_alberta]

Thanks Wayne for putting this tour together for everyone. I hope everyone enjoys their purchases today. I don't know about you guys, but I'm exhausted.

[fencer]

thanks bump

[BlueTang<3]

Today was good we never really saw many people, still we extended our tour to all the stores. Best part was got to harass Harvey, and got a free shirt:mrgreen:

[Mike-fish]

This is open to all right

[fencer]

Yep

[paddyob]

SO far I am OH for TWO.

Lots of stuff to look at... but either not compatible with my tank... or even after discount... my wife would snap. LOL.

Harvey you have lots of tempting pieces. That bubble, if it never sold, may become mine at some point.

Real estate in my tank is limited so I have to choose wisely.
