Default November 26 meet in Duncan

THANKS Christy for all the things that you did to make this happen! I think there are more to thank but she really stepped up to the plate....I had a great time as did my husband Larry and daughter Edele, FINALLY we can put some faces to names and such!
Thanks to Manny for the zoos...all mounted and should be showing their colors soon.
Can't wait for the next meet...now that we all know each other or at least have "broken the ice" it will be a lot more comfortable, and hopefully then I will be able to share some frags!

Nice to meet everyone and see you soon!

OOPS...thanks to Scott for providing/paying for the meeting place!

Just want to add, it was a good chance to put names to faces, even if I only remember two or 3 today but I am bad for that.

A couple comments, I agree with Christy that Trading, and group buys shouldn't be a main purpose of the club but rather a benefit that can be done behind the scene. I think one of the main benefits of having a club is just meeting the people, once you do this then trading/buying/what ever equipment and frags can happen at anytime and not just once ever 3 months or whenever there is a meeting. As for group buys it is great IPZ has stepped up to the plate and is offering volume discounts, it is good to see local business that will do that for groups/clubs. I used to deal with IPZ when he was in Victoria and it is good to see he is still going and still fairly close.

Also I want to thank , I believe it was Strat and his wife, for the rock, it is already in the temp tank, oh and PM me your address/phone number so I can arrange to drop off that towel, I am in that area of Vic almost every night (not sure about tonight though yet).

It was great fun meeting everyone (some again). I'm looking forward to having more of these on a regular basis.

Thanks Christy for spearheading the meeting, (we'll get you a gavel *wink* )

And thanks Scott for arranging the room and your offers of support to the group. Shame your shipment wasn't in for everyone to pick over lol but we'll see what you get in Monday.
