It's time..NEDA Meeting anyone? APRIL 9 2016

[zimmjeff]

Time for another get together.

[brewmaster15]

I agree Jeff, It would be alot of fun to get together. We have lost quite a few hobbyists from the group this past year or two though, hopefully theres some more that will join in...

I would not mind possibly hosting something like old times if there was any interest,

[MGKelly]

Bump

[fishguy456]

Hi is there any way i can join this group? have four discus in a 75g gravel bottom tank along with about 10 bn plecos and am from NH!

[ericNH]

I want to keep an eye on this thread too...

[magplate]

It has been almost a year since this thread was started, but if a meeting does take place I would go to it....

[ericNH]

It would be so cool if one were to happen locally, somewhere I could easily drive to. Like Boston. I'm only about an hour north of Boston.

[Phillydubs]

As I said a year ago... crazy it has been that long, but I am down...

Maybe we pick a place and a time and throw it out there and whoever can go goes and let that be that?

[brewmaster15]

Ok..I checked with the boss and I am cleared to host this meeting Saturday April 9th at my home in Northford CT.06472

1 pm to whenever.

It has been a very long time Since we had an NEDA get together and it would be great to catch up with everyone and meet new friends.

Anyone interested in attending is of course welcome. We will do it as we have in the past. POT LUCK Dinner everyone bring something and I will provide a main dish ...probably grill something .

If you are planning on coming lets start the official list here. FAMILIES are always welcome here.

Hope to see you all.
AL

[RichT]

[rickztahone]

Family always wins out Jeff :). Have fun at the dance. Can't wait till my daughter asks me to hers.

[brewmaster15]

Bummer Jeff! Its been too long! But I do understand!


So Lets start this List fresh... Who is coming, April 9th is a little over a week a way.. I have to put together some solid plans at this point since I am hosting it.


Its been a bit quiet on the interest level. Should I reschedule? cancel?

Sound Off everyone with a Definite answer. If theres not enough interest we can post pone it for another time, but I do need to know one way or the other if you are coming,please.


Thanks,
al

Ps... Spouses, kids, heck whole Families are welcome. Dogs are best left at home though ( sorry... my cats and Chickens are allergic to dogs.:) no offense mean't )

[RichT]

I'm in

[brewmaster15]

bump


Thanks Rich!

[brewmaster15]

Guys the more I think about it the more apparent it is that theres not really the interest to hold the meeting the 9th. I've pmd and emailed a bunch of people and either they can't make it,or may make it, or they haven't gotten back to me.Its alot of work and effort to put these together and I have a busy week ahead of me. If I am going to host it I would rather we have a good turn out. Im going to postpone this meeting a few months. Maybe we can try for a Sat in June.

Sorry Rich and anyone else that was thinking of coming. Would have been great catching up with you all.
Al

[ericNH]

I'll swing by, if it's in June. Or even May.

Count me in, I'll commit.

[ericNH]

NEDA bump ;)

[ericNH]

So lately this NEDA meeting has been on my mind, and I am psyched to to go and finally meet some of you face to face. Let's do this! Let's pick a date, we'll make sure we have the time off, and let's meet up!

[Phillydubs]

I was super busy the weekend it was supposed to be... Sorry...

But I echo Eric's sentiments and would love to plan and meet you all!

[AngryBird]

June.. hmm even better.. NEDA bump :)

[Debow]

I'm ready for June ! I was ready before! Even the wife is ready.

[2075turner]

So did this happen?

Hi Al :)
