Can we drink beer in the hallways or in and around the rooms? (like Ohio)
There is a beer store 5 minute walk.
Looking forward to this, now what to sell and what to buy. For the guy's coming in
from out of town, if you're bringing fish ,maybe you can list them and people can
reserve them (buy them) before you get here and meet them on Friday or Saturday
for pickup. Looking for super red swords tails, last seen in Ajax.

I'm also looking for some show/high quality fancy guppy if any out of town people have

[FishBuddy]

Agreed lest work on this
Thanks Zenin

I liked this idea very much   If this is a go, I am in....
We could all bring in some media (photos, videos) of both our past and present fish/equipment setup/etc. we have...
Depending on how the setup goes, we could all head out for an evening dinner/chat nearby as well...  There's quite a few places to eat nearby...

We're working on getting some OVAS special pricing from the restaurant/bar in the hotel. And yes, there are tons of places nearby!

This is Ontario, I would say no.
Laws, regulations and enforcement regarding alcohol is way more restrictive here than Ohio.
I believe you can drink in your room, because it is your residence, and invited guests can
drink in your room, so you will just have to come over for a visit

I'm hoping to make it to both saturday and sunday. I've got stuff to sell at the auction, just have to dig it all out and price and put it all together in the next couple of weeks

Guys the exec. meet this morning to finalise Aquamania & let me tell you to miss this event will be a grave injustice to hobbyist in you, this event is turning out to be beyond expections.
I must reiterate, had it not been for the great financial membership this year(We are sitting at approx. 185 financial members), this would not have been possible free of cost to all - let me the first to say it WAY TO GO OVAS !
See you @ Aqumania 2013 - Free,Free
Thanks to all our financial members & sponsors

Hey everyone,

Please remember to bring photos/videos of your fish and tanks on a USB for Friday night
Since we have the room and the projector for Friday night ( is that still right Errol ? )
then we can show and compare what we have at home

Looking forward to seeing you all there

This is open to anyone - feel free to come down to the Hotel on Fri. night @ 7.00 PM to participate , bring your media with whatever & have fun - the bar is in the hotel

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.  Hopefully, I will have an early sell-out on the raffle tickets so that I can bid on a few more items  

Charlie:  I added an entry to my blog this AM so that should add a few more folks as the message gets out to some of the photographer community who might also have an aquarium or two hidden away

If I can get there on Friday night, I will bring along my screen and projector as well so that if there is enough interest and content you might have enough for simultaneous showings in different corners of the room.

Sounds great !

Fun to see so many people working hard so late at night! 

After seeing Zenin's numerous shots of fish and showing my previous OVAS presentation of various public aquariums, we slipped off topic into the Serengeti and the Bruce Peninsula.

Added a few vendor table pictures to today's blog for those who want a preview of what the vendor room looked like at about 11PM take a look at the blog.  See you all bright and early on Saturday morning for the first speaker at 10AM.
