Title: March OVAS General Meeting
Post by: Fishnut on March 15, 2012, 11:59:15 AM
Many aquarium keepers love our hobby so much that we carry it to the landscaping in our back yards via ponds!  Since Spring is finally in the air, March is going to be pond month at OVAS.  

Richard Inchley operates Richard Inchley Ponds and Aquaria (http://www.pondsandaquaria.ca/) and is one of our generous sponsors for OVAS.  He'll be with us on Monday March 26th from 7pm - 9pm to talk to us about ponds, construction, filtration and anything else he can think of.  Bring lots of questions, partially completed plans, ideas, etc to the meeting and we'll have a great session.  If you come prepared with some digital material on a USB Key, I'll be happy to put it upon the screen for everyone to see as we discuss it.

There will be a mini auction as well as snacks and beverages.  Joyce will be ready will all the pond related books that we have in the library, including a new one!

See you there!

Despite the fact we did not have a full house everyone there really enjoyed their evening. We also had a lot of new members showed up which was great.

Super presentation, sorry I was late.
I assume these the Saturdays that's he's open for retail fish and plant sales? http://www.pondsandaquaria.ca/opendays/

That's interesting that they are seminar times too.
