I'll be there at some point.

got fish? will also be bringing some tropica scissors and tongs to give away so I will also need a guest list once finalised for the draw. I'll be bringing some samples of the soil too. The last one was great so looking forward to the next one.  ;D

I am interested in what goes on at these meetings.  Do people bring plants to trade?  I would enjoy meeting other hobbiests and be able to trade some plants.  Well worth the gas money if there is plant trading going on.

Plant trades are part of it, social interaction & sharing experiences etc & of course some snacks & fun.
This meeting we are fortunate to have Got Fish? making some donations.
How about a pot luck Xmas  meal Brian & plantacholics ?

If you guys and gals want to.  I was actually thinking about getting the sandwich platter from Timmies which is why I kind of mentioned the cut off date of next Thursday so I know how much of a platter to get.  But if it's going to be a potluck then having enough food now may not be an issue.

You were missed , but your continued support was very much there.
I personally thank you for your efforts to try & help the little niche in the hobby.
Perhaps you got reported by one of you competitors for the pure joy they derive from the petit mentality.
