But that is not an excuse for the rest of you to miss the meeting, it is sure going to be special!

Lol... I mean I know you can because of some weird loop hole. But I have not done any research on what forms etc. But you blew it already but by mentioning "the right price". That right there is an implied sale, which takes it beyond hobbyist collection...
I think you would really have to plan it out, probably not something to do on an extended family vacation.

I will be there, looking forward to it.

Why all the secrecy about the guest that's coming?

 

[moondoggy]

[Jimbo327]

If you happen to want to pick up a potter's leopard wrasse for hobbyist purposes only, I'm sure there would be good fortune in your future (purely speculatively speaking, of course).

Ok all. The official email was send out.

For those not on the list.....
This months guest speakers will be David D'Aquin and Carlos Chacon from CorqlVue and the CV TV channel. I am sure they will have some great and exciting things to talk about.
I look forward to seeing everyone.

This is going to be a good one. For those that have not been to the Brewhiwm. We have a room with couches chairs and some overflow areas. The normally have a food truck outside and it varies. Each time the food has been good.
I can not speak about future product releases but I do no there are some great things coming from CoralVue this year.
see everyone Friday
