Ok plant folks, depending on interest shown here, i would like to organise a gathering of folks who have a interest in planted aquaria, i think it would be a good opportunity for us to get together perhaps @ a restaurant exchange ideas, discuss plant issues, problems & even do a quiz, if this sounds interesting please indicate here in this thread, i`m thinking a week end  eveningtowards the end of  March early April.

Alright , let`s try a date & time , how about Sat. March 28the @ 4 or 5 PM  or April 4th @ 4 or 5 PM ?? & i`ll even go to the Chinese Buffet on Carling  ;).( Lincoln Heights area)

I'd be interested, but not going to the Chinese buffet though!  How about a pub, that way some of us can get drinks and some can order food if they prefer.

That works too, majority rules  ;)

I'm good for either date, as long as we dicide soon. 

I vote for a pub.  I'm allergic to 90% of the Chinese diet. ::)

The 4th works better for me as its my "off custody" week so I don't have to hunt for a babysitter.

zima

I'm in! April the 4th works better for me, and I'm voting for the pub, although a Chinese buffet will work just fine for me.

i'm partial to the buffet. of course i live next to it.. so it couldn't be easier =) but i'm up for meeting wherever too!

Response is looking favourable for April 4th @ a Pub, perhaps we can even do some plant trade /sell /grab bag type a thing   ;), now if we can only get fischkopp jetstream , Leng, Jeff1192, Toss & all the other plant crazies to come out  :D, great to hear how those 500 bags of plant from the giant auction is doing   :D or find out more about them one on one   ;)

Count me in, either day works, as for the location...a pub is good...if they've got good munchies and Stella on tap ;D

This is looking good , how about a 2.00PM start ??

RebeccaB

I can't make it for a 2pm start. I have a spa appointment.  I could make it for 3pm - how about Paddy's Pub, or a Royal Oak....both have good beer on tap and the food is decent.

4th sounds fine - Pub OK like the Oak they have awesome deep fried mushrooms... yummy! Sounds like a go Charlie thanks for the efforts.

not sure if we can make it for 2 but the original time of 4 or 5 works better for us.

charlie

Wow , this is very encouraging, i`m sure over the next few weeks more of the wet thumbs will signal their intention to join us, i propose we bring a few clippings , plants for exchange , sell etc, maybe make a wish list, i have a  plant related quiz for group particpation,  no prizes just a good learning experience.
It looks like April 4th @ 4.00PM is a good time to congregate & the Royal Oak is as good as any , now the tough one  - which location? I think we should agree on a central location with easy & free parking, so i think that rules out Bank st & Downtown  :P, any suggestions.
Heck i might even indulge in a cold Stella  , it`s been a while  :D
