BayAreaDiscus(BAD) Meeting

[CliffsDiscus]

Hi SF Area - what is the format of the next mtg like? Who hosts? Should we invite a Discus specialist (like Hans or Heiko) to make presentations? thx

The format will start with the main topic, following with open discussion then maybe a raffle. BAD is nonfunded, check with SFAS they invited Heiko back
in 88 or 89. SFAS and PCCA paid for the expenses, you still have to paid for membership to SFAS or PCCA and a entrance fee. You may want to buy a copy of Tropical Fish Hobbyist(www.tfhmagazine.com) Discus in SF.

Hi - is there a Bay Area meeting planned in the near term? thx

[magewynd]

Hey Bay Area, NorCal, West Coast Discus Hobbyists,

There are some folks in the East Bay/ South Bay trying to get a BAD meeting together in the next month or so. Please respond here or to Cliff (CliffsDiscus) if you are interested. I am interested in meeting people in our area and seeing what your up to. I'm interested in some of the ideas the East Coast guys are doing (Al's group and the Atlanta group). We may not make NADA 2014 in this area, but we could support a California show. Besides there is always NADA 2016.

So it looks like NADA 2012 was a hit. SEDA did a great job. We may have to have the next BAD meeting in Chicago or Austin.

Hey Bay Area and parts all over,

Posting a message from Cliff. He'd like to put put together a local Swap Meet. I am still interested in getting people together for a greet and meet. And I believe John (John's Discus) is also. If I get Cliff and John in a room together I am definitely going to pick their brains for info on artificial rearing and breeding albinos. So please let us know what your interest are.

Remember, if you want to be BAD......come join us.

Still here? GOOD!

I just got off the phone with John. He would like to "Sweeten the Meet" by have a raffle with our get together for the local group. I believe he said he had some(thing) GOLD(en) for the pot.

So let's show a little interest and let Cliff and John know you are interested.
