Anyone know if there is a Calgary reef/salt/fowlr society or club?

I'd be keen to get it started if not....

I was just wondering that myself this morning. I don't think there is but I agree, we should have one.

Canreef is the salt aquarium society pretty much. CAS doesnt really do much.

If you start one...I will just be forced to join.....where do I sign up?

Sweet, ya lets do this. Canreef is obviously the place for info and interacting, but I'd love to do tank tours around the city, get together regularly to talk reef, and trade/share stuff.

Ideas for a name?
Calgary Reef Club
Calgary Reef Society
Calgary Salt Water Aquarium Enthusiasts ...etc

Sounds like a great idea, especially if any of the local vendors care to step up and offer 15% discounts to card carrying members of the society...

I'd be down.

Ya, definitely thinking about sponsors. I was browsing reefcentral and they have t shirts and golf shirts so I'd be interested in getting a design made up for on shirts and mugs etc.

I can't seem to find any official Calgary reef clubs or societies out there so I think we're clear to start it up. Maybe Tony or another CR staff can chime in and confirm if there's no other club of this kind.
