Gauging interest in regular get togethers

[Fishnut]

I'm in too!

[charlie]

Hello planted tank hobbyist, is there any interest in a regular gathering for planted tank hobbyist , be it monthly or every 2 months preferably on a weekend , this venture is not intended to market / promote any vendor /product or personal gain either by monetary or other.
The idea here is to meet exchange ideas & issues , trade or sell plants & associated gear one on one with each other, all in the interest of helping & promoting the planted tank hobby, this venture is not intended to be separate to the club but in conjunction with OVAS.
Please indicate in this thread with preference of day, time & monthly or every 2 mths ,& any other suggestions.
Just trying to gauge interest  here to see if we have enough hobbyist.
Thanks

Ok guys, so how about Saturday Oct. 15 TH @ 1.00PM

Everyone welcome

I would like to suggest an alternative meeting location: Lonestar on Baseline Rd.  I would be happy to find out if they have an available party room that we can use.

Guys we need input-
what is the preferred day/date?- 15th or 16 Th (Sat./Sun.)
Time - 11.00-1.00-4.00 PM ?
Place - Royal Oak on Hunt Club, Merivael seafood , Lone star /Baseline, Buffet DE continents( Gat),The Score ( Kantata), i`m inclined with the last 2, simply because they afford the Opp. for a fish store visit before or after( La Niche /Big Al's ( West)
I can offer rides to anyone on the way or can get to South Keys/Greenboro Transit.
Please offer your input.

Arg I'm out, don't have a ride and a 60th birthday has come up.
Sorry Errol I would have really liked to get to this. Maybe next time.

Oct 15th works for me. I'll let you guys pick a place

[Anja]

I could make the 16th, but not the 15th (bummer), which seems to be everyone else's preferred date, though, so I hope to see you all next time.

I am good with that:

Would this only be for freshwater planted tanks?  I have been enjoying planted tanks for years but this year I changed my focus to marine planted tanks.  I am enamored with the alien looking plants of the sea, and the tanks, in my eyes, are just stunning.  I know that I would be a tiny minority in the meetings, but hey, it is still a "planted tank", and who knows, I might even serve to inspire some folks to try this slice of the hobby.

So... may I be included?

Hey guys, it looks like i will have a few sampling of plants to offer for sale, all proceeds go to the club, not much but will have a little of Rotala Vietnam,Pogostemon helferi / Downoi ,
Tonina sp. 'Belem',Hygrophila pinnatifida  & Java fern.
Anyone else want to add what they can offer.
Regards

[Fishnut]

I need to thin my moss clump...but it has some algae in it.  I'll throw it in with my amano shimp to see how it cleans up.  It's mostly Flame Moss and Java Moss mixed together.

My non-aquarium loving hubby will be there too...well, he's passively interested.  I bribed him to come along with the promise of letting him eat fish
