I am the VP of our local marine aquarium society. We meet monthly and I attend almost all meetings. There are a number of our members and Board of Directors that are regulars here at Reefs.org.
Yeah there is none out here in Palm Springs. I have been thinking of tring to start one up. I know that if I get one going People that are into saltwater and reef tank just might join.
i went once, to a MPLS planted tank show/club meeting. i think my planted tanks were better than theirs. but a nice dood gave me some frogbit for free.
i have yet to see a resource that trumps the internet. websites (like this one, thanks RDO!) have, for me, are the mainstay of knowledge etc.
I do infact we had a meeting lastnight. We had it at the LFS and had frag fest2 5 Buck frags and 40 percent off all corals to club members it was magnifiscent.
I attend them all the time. I have to.
The frag swap alone is worth the drive for most folks. Add on to that the education they get from guest speakers, and people see the value.
Oh, and occasionally, we do have beer at the meetings. :lol:
