*OFFICIAL*[GVRD] 3rd Reefers Coral Swap & Meet (Feb 28 SATURDAY) BEER & CORAL
 

[GVRD] 3rd Reefers Coral Swap & Meet at The Mezz, Feb 28, 2015 SATURDAY! BEER & CORAL!

Official Thread (Date Set for Feb 28, 2015)

Hey Guys! So the last frag swap was a great success and the reefers had a blast! Everyone's been bugging us to host another one so here we go!!! :mrgreen:
The venue which we used last time was kind enough to once again agree for us to use their place to host the swap. The Mezz has some great food along with some local beers on tap. :wink:

Just like last swap, we will have (2) or (3) or (4) or (5) tanks setup this year which will showcase all the corals for trades/swaps/sale.

Please, please comment on this thread or PM albert or myself if you plan on bringing corals which you would like to put into the tanks. Last swap we QUICKLY ran out of space and we could not house all the corals. This swap we would like to accommodate for everyone and have everything more organized. * you are welcome to bring used equipment as well*

*side note* you are welcome to bring your own tank and have it setup at the location as well, however you will need to contact me prior to make arrangements before hand.

We currently have (3) sponsors.
Oceanic Corals
Big Show Frag
Fiji Reef Rocks

(if you would like to donate or sponsor some prizes please send me a PM)

Date: Feb 28th, Saturday. 2014
Time: 11:30am (come enjoy lunch and grab a beer while swapping some frags :wink:)
Location: The location will be the same as last the last swap at the Mezz Lounge located upstairs of Badminton Vancouver (yup, that big badminton place you see driving south on Knight st. bridge -

Prizes and Draws:
Just like last time we will have draws starting from 12:00 (noon)

EVERYONE is welcome to attend, you don't need to purchase or swap or trade corals to be entered into the draw. Just come by and have a look, browse around, chat, grab a beer and meet fellow reefers.

I know many people don't have things to trade or swap, perhaps you could purchase the coral or even trade for a beer or some food etc.
Once again you do NOT need to bring anything to come to this event, everyone is welcome. Its also family friendly event so bring everyone!

This time I'm coming. Thanks for organizing it again

Yeahhhhhhh buddddy!

I'll be there this time. Thanks for organizing another one.

The missus and I will be there. Thanks for organizing!

If anybody wants to carpool, we can meet at my place and then go down together.

Is this meet open to folks from the island as well?

No.



Unless you love good people, great corals, beer and awesome food. If that's the case, I'm sure I can petition for your cause :P

Bout time you finalize it hahaha. We know I'll be there ..

Happy.happy

Bout time you finalize it hahaha. We know I'll be there ..If you need help guys. Make sure ya ask me..

Happy.happy

Maybe we can organize a car group or two?

I live in Victoria, but I am going to be there that weekend, I would really like to drop by and meet you good people. I could probably force myself to have a beer or two and stare at the frags!

Anybody is welcome.
That was a fast delete muta

yea .... I went back and reread the post and realized I had not read the whole thing! lol

For those from the Island or out-of-town wanting to make a weekend of it, I can accommodate a couple in our second bedroom and probably a couple more in our livingroom. You can store your frags in one of my two tanks and bring them to the frag meet if you come over Friday or store your new frags in my tanks and rebag them Sunday if you come over Saturday.

I know the cost of taking the ferry nowadays is ridiculous so if you extend your stay to an extra day, you can also have time to hit some of the Metro Vancouver stores (like J&L or Oceanic) and try some of the great restaurants around here.

So I can accommodate 4 people (maybe bring the wife so she can do her own shopping while you're at the frag swap with me & the locals). Perhaps more if we squeeze. I can always have my kids sleep over at their grandparents' if necessary. My mom would be thrilled to have the kids.

Of course this is the same day as the missus' b-day! Dang it!

"Here you go babe, Happy Birthday!"
"What is it?"
"Rainbow Acans!"
"...."

I'll be bringing my 2 frag tables

And 4 strangers from the island all singing Happy Birthday!

That's very generous of you Steve (and your wife and kids!) For myself, I have family I will stay with Friday and then return after the swap on Saturday.

What a great bunch of people in this hobby!

Have her surprise birthday party at the frag swap.:rofl2:

Boy, would she be surprised :multi::2gunfire::splat::onfire::pound:

Lol. I was the same thing and thought the same. I will be bringing some frags. Mainly zoas and sps.
I'll try and put a list together soon..

Ahaha good one Denny.

Missed the one in the fall and can't make this one either. Hopefully there will be another before summer.

Oh god lol

That's what she said hahaha

This can be never-ending lolol
Next......

Excellent, I have been wanting to see your frags for some time! I hear good things .... or I guess I should say, I read good things!

I will also bring lots of sexy frags sps dominated😄

My neighbour has gotten back into SW so I know I'll be there and probably my neighbour. I have a van but wondered if there is anyone else in the downtown/west end who want to car-pool to and from. Just a thought.

You always have great pieces Ryan, I look forward to seeing them too.

Man what a perfect time.
And I just got my RSM250. Will have it setup so I can get more corals.... count me in

Tell me about it! My new tank should be rdy for coral n fish just abouts then as well

Woohoo! Really hoping I can make this one since I missed the last one :biggrin:

To answer a few questions.

Is it free? Yes. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please bring your friends and family as well!

Are we allowed to come if we don't have any corals to swap or trade? YES, you are most definitely welcome to come by and just hang out and enjoy a beer and hang out with the reef geeks :D

End time? Last swap we ended around 6:00pm - 7:00pm. It really depends on the attendance. The last one we had over 150 people show up, however it doesn't seem like there's as many people who have signed up to go yet this time around =/
