Thanks vwmike for hosting the meeting and sharing your experience in building your stand and canopy! I met a lot of great ARC members and hope to attend more meetings in the future.

Thanks Mike & Family for tolerating the mass of people over at your house :) It was a great meeting. We really should capture a lot of the do's and don'ts you mentioned on stand/canopy making, as it was a great talk.

Just wanted to say thanks for everyone who made the trek down south, it was a pleasure hosting you all! My wife Laura commented on how courteous everyone was, so you greatly increased the odds of us hosting another one! :)

Many thanks also to everyone who brought frags, my tanks are all set to blossom with new goodies.

Also, as a club we can't thank Dave and Robin enough. In addition to hosting numerous meetings at their place they arrived early and helped set up and hung around late as well. Anyway, thanks again to everyone, it was awesome seeing our place full!
