No problem Patrick,

I think the hobby needs more of this kinds of meetings.

Not only for the Discus but also to meet the face behind the key board,

Okay, I will try to make arrangements to attend. My house closing is that weekend so I will have to see what's going on and if I can get a babysitter for the boys. House will be there after the weekend I figure, LOL.

Thanks Al; Hans and Patrick Kelly for arranging this gr8 meeting surely encouraging the hobby. I have PM'ed several people to arrange the logistics as I would like to come and so is my family.
As it turns out I will be missing the noon talk from Mr. David Au and the activities very generously hosted by Capital Cichlid @ Maryland. I know I will miss meeting a gr8 group of people but hope we can together probably if we manage to host something in CT and have you guys come over.
But.. I will be able to join our group @ Hans - can't wait.. Go Yippee !!! There is no question this visit will take the hobby to the next level.
As per the itenerary stated here; the plan is for the group to return to Hans facility by 4 pm right? So shall I..
I have the address from Hans and have Al Sabetta's and Patrick Richards' cell number. Just in case.
Hans - incase you folks get delayed in Maryland; would there be anybody @ the facility otherwise my kids and I will be playing cricket in your parking lot

Ashay,

the meeting/talk at the CCA will be till 4-4:30pm. the drive back from there to the fish house is aprox. 1 hour so it will be around 5pm that we will be at the fish house.
Joanne is coming to the talk too, so there will be nobody at the fish house before that time.

Do you've the address from the fish house, because that's were we will meet after the talk, not at my house,

Hans

[ashaysathe]

Thanks Hans. If anything otherwise, I will plan on being @ ur facility by 5 pm'ish. Yes I do have your address so will see you soon.

Cheers

We usually finish between 430 and 5. It will depend on the length of the talk and the amoumt of fish in the auction. I will try to make sure it runs at a decent speed.
