Just a little feedback from me..  Everyone, if you see anything can be improved, please post.

Almost everything were great but the raffle announcement.  Can we have that showing on the board next time?  As much as I like to heard Jeremy's voice, it's very hard to heard if we are talking.  I really like what we did before, having the screen showing all the winning raffle #.  Cool

Some swaps back we had a couple where I pushed the sticks vs plates segregation of the SPS corals and the like,  maybe bring that tradition back.  Wouldn't have been terribly hard considering people seemed to be coming in at irregular intervals and not a huge rush of people.

And yes I do volunteer myself for that duty should that be the need Smile

I think the club really stepped up, the cooperative attitude and laid back nature of the club really shined!

Phong I like that idea.  I think over the day I got conditioned to ignore Jeremy's voice.  B/c of that I didn't hear many of the numbers, jk.  haha

I agree w/ Phong on having the raffle #s displayed.  If you're picking you're going to miss your #.
I really liked having the time to preview the corals before picking time, it really helps you to identify a few of the pieces to 'target' when your picking.    Overall, an excellent swap!  Everyone was cooperative and seemed to be happy with what they got, even after a few rounds.  Great selection too.

The location was great, but the room was toooooooo cold for the corals.  BAR was very generous for buying some ORA corals, but the enchinata I picked up was bleached because it was in the cold for too long.  The other enchinatas were RTNing.  Just a kind suggestion.

The heaters were actually on.  One thing I did was heat my "cooler"  Bryan had some heat packs, but I just used the large plastic tubs and filled them with warm/hot water.  All my corals were perfectly fine. I  could see though, how a coral picked out of the room and put into a cold cooler might get too cold.
