Featured Members Only Frag swap Sunday June 22nd

Plus. They set up, break down , have a sound system we can use, tables and chairs, kitchen, etc.
all the other places we have to bring those things. It works out to be a lot of work hauling stuff around for 100 plus people.

He also said that’s why we use this place cause it’s less

ahhh, got it. dont mind me then

@jamie Yes we can do swaps and other events at someone’s house. Or community center. If you or anyone else would like to host or has a lead please let @MichaelB know. He was just saying that when we look to rent a place that we don’t have some inside relationship with, it is shockingly expensive, which is a pretty big turn off. We’ve looked at a lot of places.

We do try to move them around the Bay. We tried for this swap but didn’t find a different location easily. Then it came down to either having it at this location or not having it until months later when we find another place. This location just happens to be awesome in several ways, including price, amenities, relatively central location, and experience to know that it meets our needs.

Brisbane is super central for the greater bay area! I'm going to learn how to make frags just for this event, exciting.

We may also put on another fragging workshop shop per routine if there is enough intrest and a few people willing to bring or donate things to be fragged. I will see about getting a thread going to disscuss that possibility in the next few days.

Oh cool! I didn't mean to put any pressure on with my comment, I went to the last workshop and am feeling confident enough to try on my colonies of softies.

No pressure at all, I plan to just will start a discussion and see where it goes.

We usually try to have a fragging workshop two weeks before a swap.

Damn. Going to be out of town. Bummer. Next time but I want to see pics again!

This is one of the best locations we have for the swap - large, bright, accessible - even though it is not super near to where I live, with traffic, but close enough. I vote to always have it there . Most other locations had downsides.

Having said this, I will most likely not be able to attend this one as I will need to catch up with tank mantainance after returning from my longer vacation on June 19 .

If I am away for the weekend, can I give my corals to another member to enter my corals into the swap and have that member act as my surrogate to pick?

If they aren't also picking corals for themselves as well it would likely be ok. We couldn't have one member picking for two people that may cause contention among others present.

I think this came up at the last swap actually.
