Anyone Interested In A National Meetup?
Hi all,
been thinking about this for a little while and have the ball rolling enough to post the concept here and see if anyone would be interested. I'm wanting to host a national meetup for Reefuge and potential future Reefuge members at my house (read, anyone interested). Really keen to have members from most states come for a weekend.
The basic concept is:
1. People walk/drive/fly to my place in Geelong Victoria on the Friday. We have a dinner/drinks/party/look at my tank and basically break the ice, get to meet the people face to face that we chat with on this wonderful site often. I am happy to arrange airport connections for interstates.
2. People are welcome to bring their family or friends and are more than welcome to either sleep at my place or at one of the many affordable accommodation providers near my house.
3. Saturday we can do a tour of some members tanks in the region, see some local stores or even see some non-reef related tourist attractions if preferred.
4. Saturday night we go to a invite only, locked door, special delivery, frag session at a fantastic fish store that has some of the best SPS, LPS and other corals coming in regularly at the moment. This event would include dinner, drinks a healthy number of top shelf frags and all consumables (tiles, glue, bags, etc.) This event is looking like an approximate cost of $50 at this stage, but is just a concept at this stage.
5. Sunday can be a another day continuing the reefing theme or a family day where you do what you like in this lovely part of the world. Then I anticipate people will catch flights/drive back to their homes Sunday afternoon/evening. You can either take your frags and any other purchases with you or I can arrange postage.
So in short, come to my place for dinner/booze up, spend next day doing reefing stuff, attend exclusive ultra frag night and spend Sunday seeing the sights.
Would anyone be keen for this in say September? I might take the week before and week after off to be available to spend time with anyone looking to make more of a holiday out of it.
Let me know!
