upcoming club trips?

acer · Apr 1, 2017

Well guys and gals - only have 7-8 people on the list- so if we want to do this - it will cost everybody like $12-15 a piece for the "tour". Maybe we should wait another month as there will be lots of frags at the next meeting and since the "frag workshop" is one of the better attended club meetings it will give us a chance to promote this road trip again to get more people interested. Thoughts??

have we decided on waiting a month? I have just got called back to work and will be on 7 days a week through April. So the 30th would cost me $10-$15 admission, $50 in gas and tolls, and over $1,000 in lost wages. But if the 30th is still on then so am I.........mainly because I'm dumb like that!

I have not heard back from anyone. I figured i would call everyone on the list today. I think we should wait, especially with the coral frag workshop which will create quite a bit of frags. So , unless i hear something i will make the call.

OK pretty much every person on my list of "interested people" is on this website and the other one - no one has posted opinions on waiting. SO, please chime in dates you are available in May/June. By the sound of it there is going to be some very nice coral at the next club meeting. SO, I think we should wait at least a month before going. I will call to cancel our tour.

Can i make a suggestion? Why dont you just make one of the meetings this club trip to tidal gardens? I think in general you will have a better attendance. Plus, for me personally, if this trip doesn't fall on the same day as a meeting I won't be going. Im just way too busy and especially in May and June. One of those weekends ill be at RAP New York!! June 24-25th.

If you wanted to have a normal meeting at tidal gardens you can still do that, Than has a remodeled barn that is perfect for having meetings in it. Large open space with tables, chairs, and even a bar. It is very very nice.

I will make that very suggestion at the upcoming board meeting.

You can do that in May or June. We have taken field trips for club meetings in the past, Those are slower months and we can push anything planned. So, go for it.

Ok, very good a plan is formulating.

OK heard back from Owner of Tidal Gardens- and the 3rd Saturday of May = 20th wont work for them. They are having a live coral sale that day. So we need to pick a different date.

The owner sent me a video of Tidal Gardens ( see below) - since we can't go on Saturday 5/20 - anybody have issues to go on June 17th for the June club meeting? I have not yet confirmed that is a good date for them. But figured I would at least figure out if that is a good day for us. Also, we could go in the evening, bring some food/beverages to use there facility. All food and beverages are BYOB- but they have refrigerators, etc.

June 17th is bad for me, I will be away that weekend for my brothers bachelor party. Plus end of June into July is when our kid is due so it'll all be up in the air for me then.

Anyone following along and wanting to go, there are signup threads for "June club meeting on 6/17/17"

This will be the trip to Tidal Gardens

See you there!!!
