I'm in Griswold, CT and trying to help get our club up and running but if it's OK I'll share what I want out of my club. I first sought out a club because I was new and looking for info on getting the basics of my system going. After that , as there weren't any stores near me I was looking for things to put in my tank. I was fortunate that I was able to find a variety of free and $5 frags to cut my teeth on. Nothing special, just basic softies, but as a newbie they were great. When I went to my first CT club meeting I was a little disappointed in that it was more formal and educational. I guess I was hoping for a better opportunity to "meet and greet" other club Members that I'd talked to on line. At this point I hope my club will once again have an active forum (like this one), a mix of meetings, virtual and in person, tank tours, casual local get-togethers, diy clinics, club member group buys, club members assisting others in the group both new and old. Buying and selling and more old school Trading amongst members. The big reef shows are nice but it seems like it's a lot of work by a few people. That's about it for now.
