Mini LOL meet-up? (20th Feb)

[Emma Turner]

At least you're not going to have to drive back home the same day now.

[Mad Duff]

At least you're not going to have to drive back home the same day now.

Very true Em, I'm looking forward to a full day mooching in the shop and a few drinks afterwards

[palaeodave]

Another loach meet? Excellent (-: Susan and I will be there.

Is anyone after any Pseudogastromyzon cheni? We have had a population explosion and need to move some on to good homes.

Oh if only our hillstream tank could be set up and matured before then!!! (It can't.)

[dlenn]

But Paleodave, you probably live close enough to us to put dibs in for the next lot of babies or we could keep some for you.

We've sort of lost count of how many we actually have and want to rehome anyway .

[dlenn]

If you can make it Helen it would be nice to see you! even if we have to keep you awake. :)

[Emma Turner]

Do we think there'll be time to go to a local pub at lunchtime? We should probably confirm who is attending the meet up sometime soon, so that we know who to look out for or wait for if we do have time for a pub lunch.

[palaeodave]

That's a point, we still haven't sorted out our exact times. We'll need to leave fairly early in order to get back to the museum with the liama before 7pm. We'd be up for lunch though!

[Emma Turner]

Are you sure we can't hold them for you overnight at the shop, then you stay and take them back on Saturday? It'd be no problem, we could put them in one of our smaller tanks that just have small shrimp in. Please don't feel you have to, but the offer is there!

[palaeodave]

Hmm...that is extremely tempting. Cost is a big factor though as we're setting up this new tank. What we might be able to do is have a chat with the museum's security tomorrow and arrange for late night access so we can stick around a bit longer. Would we be able to whack some oxygen in their bags at the shop?

[Emma Turner]

Would we be able to whack some oxygen in their bags at the shop?

We would do that for you as a matter of course.

[helen nightingale]

I will do whatever i can to get to the meet, but i think i had better ring somebody to say i am on my way rather than say a time. sleeping well is hard at the moment. i may need a coffee or ginseng tea brewwed

we stayed in a flea infested motel for 2 nights, with very noisy neighbours, and at Tom's relations' house we are woken up at 6 am every other day by them watering the garden at 6am. it sounds like world war 3 has broken out when the hose unreels, then the water running through the pipes makes a racket.

i am very much wishing i had a river tank, but as it is i have to go home to do 4 water changes, so i darent even think about buying fish. it willl be very tough

[Ashleigh]

Am I right in guessing that most people are aiming for 10-1030am? If not what time is everyone aiming for? Have to try and sort out times this week


Ashleigh

[Graeme Robson]

Thats correct Ashleigh, but some may arrive around 12pm-ish.

[Mad Duff]

If traffic is kind we should be there for 10 after our Maccy D pitstop

Partly the reason why me and Graeme are staying over is the last time there were quite a few people meeting up we had to get going before some arrived to beat the traffic back

[Ashleigh]

Traffic back isn't usually to bad-there is one road I think but we can bypass it. Noth Wales have wonderful road works going on for miles but with no work being actually done-gota love it I would have stayed bar the problem of going home for my mums bday on the sat Maybe next time.....
