    Is it possible to start a club in my area?

    I'm only 14 years old and there is NOOOOOOOO clubs in Rochester, New York.

    There isn't a fish club, a cichlid club, a discus club, nothing. So is it possible to start one and how? People say it's easier to go to clubs, because you save money, meet people like you, and other pluses!!!! So how can i start a club, does it cost money, is it expensive, is it fairly easy, HOW?

    Great to see a young Discus fan join is!

    The Chicago area auatic plant club was started with a Yahoo group. The person that started it would watch the other forums for people to mention they were in the area. He would then email them and ask if they were interested. Then they told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on, and so on.............. When there was a decent number of members folks took turns hosting meetings at rexpective homes.

          Sorry, but I'm just too busy doing water changes to attend a monthly fish club meeting

          BUT, I'm happy to have discus people come over anytime to talk about discus and see my set up I only have a few tanks right now but I do have a little bit of a "fancy" set up.

          I'm about a 45 min drive from Rochester.

              I am happy to start a club as long as it involves food and beer? ;D

              Otherwise my attention span won't cope.

              Plus I am happy to let Matt do all the water changes the only problem is, how do I do trips to NY frequently from Australia?
