If any club members are keeping shrimp or considering doing the same, this would be a great opportunity to get perspectives from Tommy on shrimp keeping as well as do's and d'onts. I have benefited from his advice in the past. Please come out and join us on the 27th.

Cheers

I can't wait for this one! Don't forget that Tommy is willing to bring orders with him!

[sidarnold]

Yup - I placed an order for Black Pinto, Black Zebra Pinto, Extreme Blue Bolts, Red Zebra Pinto, Red Panda and Shadow Pandas. They will all be part of a breeding project for the next year.

For those of you who are interested, Tommy will be joining us for beers and dinner after his talk tomorrow.  We will be going to the Carleton Tavern on 223 Armstrong St. after his talk is finished.

It was a great few hours spent at the shrimp fever presentation.
Thanks the executiveand Tommy for doing this .
On another note it was both disappointing and discouraging at the poor attendance, 2 people from Montreal took the time to drive and attend this event, but our local hobbyist did not support it.
Folks the executive can't continue to dedicate the effort , time and money to do such presentations if we continue with this type of attendance, let's get motivated and get involved.

[Jody]

How many people ended up coming out for the event?

UUnfortunately just too much going on this weekend for me to make it out,  though I would have liked to attend.

Jody

[charlie]

My best guess 15? Including Tommy's guest and the 2 from MTL
For me it ranked among the better presentations for the season

[Dxpert]

Fantastic talk! Thanks.

[missavgp]

would have loved to come, but had family in from out of town arrive yesterday.

[sidarnold]

Great talk that went for 2 hours. Exited the hall at 9 PM. Tommy answered questions for 45 minutes +.  Very informative. Half of his presentation was on shrimp illness and diseases.

[Jody]

Not sure who dropped off the signs for Tommy's talk but because of it,  we may have a new member coming to tonight's meeting.
