like the description says does any one want to set up a club just a general club which would include all aspects of fish keeping. because i think the nearest club is bristol

 

[Cheffi]

In theory yes. Might be interesting, what format would it take? The Bristol one is on the other side of Bristol I think and a bit too far for me.

 

[callum_parsons]

by format im thinking that you mean tropical, marine and pond. it would be anything and everything fishy under the sun.

Hey Callum,
I'm Chippenham based, I haven't met many others here who are that into it though ... In fact I have to bite my tongue alot when thinking fishy thoughts for fear of mockery.

So yer, it might be interesting, what did you have in mind?

One of my efforts of a tank is in Club11 (the new one) by the way, dividing the men and womans loos, its a bit basic at the moment but if you happen to be their and have any ideas for it I would be interested to hear them.

Cheers
Laurence

Not necessarily, I mean will it be a club for meeting or internet based. Day trips out, getting speakers into meetings Where's club11?

 

[lozronz]

Hey,

Club11 is a nightclub in Chippenham, sorry as I posted that I realised that as we were talking about clubs it might get confusing. Its not a fish club!

 

[callum_parsons]

more then likley be a club where we could meet. discuss anything to do with the hobby, trade fishes, possible do day trips not sure where (shops, aquarium places (sea life centre and seaquarium) and possible bristol or london zoos aquatic exhibits).
i can make a website can be quite handy with a computer.
i have just been thinking about places to meet.
possible place would be yatton keynell village hall.
i have been to club 11

Sounds cool to me, see how much intrest there is in this thread I guess.
Yatton Kennels good for me, I work there! Hope your not one of the 'what seems like majority of' folk in Yatton Kennel who are anti the learning difficulties home being there (because thats where I work and I feel pretty stongly about human rights as well as fish!) Sorry, sure your not, its just I'm a little bitter about all the grief we have had from the locals.

If there is interest, what about a pub (The Bell?) for the initial few meetings? I imagine this could be a slow starter and hiring a hall might seem a little daunting if there is just a handful of people to begin with.

Cheers

I agree, I think we might be a bit thin on the ground also I know Callum and there is a big difference in ages between us all so do you think that works?

 

[lozronz]

Lol, I don't know dude, I just looked at your profile to see your age, you seem very proficient with computers for 13 months! I would say thats a pretty broad age range already! I guess thats the pub out the question!

How old you really?

I guess it is just wait and see if there is much interest, I have no probs with age of people I hang around with.

Personally, I would't mind meeting up with a few folk swapping plants, fish, tips and also, some of those next day delivery online fish shops have some pretty cool fish that I havent seen in shops but am reluctant to pay £10 delivery on a £12 plec and I don't like putting loads of fish in the tank at once so bulk order might be an answer between a few of us.





Sorry! didnt check your profile that hard- not dude!

 

[callum_parsons]

i didnt even no there was a learning difficulty place in yatton keynell but that may be due to the fact that i live in tiddleywinks just outside.

 

[Cheffi]

I just loooove that name Tiddleywinks Callum!! I didn't know there was a ld centre either. lozronz, ask Callum how old I am, I've met him!!

 

[lozronz]

Sorry, Ill get off my soap box now, Tiddlywinks is a cool name, is it true the kids of the street named it?

Cheffi, do you live in Yatton kennel to? And how old is everyone?!?!!? I'm totally confused now!

 

[callum_parsons]

i am 17 years of age 18 in 9 months YES!!
i think i will consider starting the club when we get more people intrested in the idea say 7-10

that Gibbicep will get to big for that tank and will be unhappy in it they are fully grown in 3 years time. get some bristles in there.

No I don't live in Yatton I live in a village called Broughton Gifford, not that far from Chippenham. Agreed lets wait til we get a few more people interested. There's another member from Chippenham, she's a media donor.
