Richmond Virginia Reef Club meeting at Twon8's place!

mark your calenders! Saturday December 8, 2007!

The Richmond Reef Club in Virginia is having a major get together at Twon8's place that Saturday. It will be complete with some group buys and some raffles.

If you are in the nearby vicinity of Virginia, try to make it down to the Richmond area for this meeting, and also check out our wondferful local fish shops....most notably the infamous Atlantis Aquarium.

Then you'll also get to meet a couple of us local CZ'ers and see some sweeeeet tanks, and most importantly have a good time!

If you are interested, you can either ask here....or look on our club forum over on RC.

yeah, you DEFINITELY need to come down!!

anthony, will the gift shop be open? :hammer: with this many people coming, you'll need to open up the entire place, and have a grill going in the back.

Meets of this magnitude are few and far between. I hope that turns out to be some killer Christmas party!

But seriously, sounds like it's going to be a good time.

:hammer: too bad we can't afford a better paint job on our bus....lol

maybe a tie-dye bus......or something with some rims....lol

im thinking we'll set up some tables downstairs and have some fragging workshops, we did this at the first meet i held, but we did it outside and it was cold. last time i was a fill in host on the day of the swap, so i didn't have much time to prepare.

that would be sweet if Rev could come up here with his CZ booth...

you could always come down with the wife the night before, spend the night at a hotel and then you can check out the 2 big LFS stores in town, have a nice dinner out, and check out the local shopping areas etc.

theres plenty of things to do on the west side of Richmond over where Atlantis is.

Athony is about 45min-1hr away from Atlantis towards the southwest (look for Amelia on mapquest).

Have you never used MapQuest, Yahoo, or Google Maps? It's about 300 miles, so you'd be looking at a ~5hr drive.

Alright im up for it. I need a specific address, thanks.

here is a link to atlantis, it is about 10 minutes out of the way if you are coming from the north, so i highly recommend stopping there on your way in or out of town. they are open till 8 on saturdays',

yeah, i would recomend stopping at Atlantis (and maybe Fish World) before heading off to Anthonys (which is further out of town).

maybe if Gadgets is coming down, I can meet up with both of ya'll in town somewhere to show ya'll the LFS's, and then you guys can just follow me over to Twon's place.
