Alright everyone! We handed out tons of fliers for this yesterday and had a few hanging from various vendor booths!! Here is a little bit more information on the 1st ever Colorado Tri-Club meeting - The Rocky Mountain Marine Conference & Swap!!! All 3 clubs have decided to combine all 3 of their largest meetings of the year into one awesome event for EVERYONE!!!!

Speakers​
We will also have an array of speaking presentations going on throughout the day! Our first confirmed speaker is Joe Thompson "thejrc." His presentation is - "Basement Biologists - How Hobbyists are changing the face of research as we know it!" He said he will give us something "different" than your ordinary presentation, maybe with a little hands on interaction!​

There are still more details to come as far as speakers go, but we know that you will be pleasantly surprised!!!​


Science Fair​
The 3 participants of this years 1st Annual MASC Science Fair will be displaying their projects. As stated before, ALL three of the participants will be featured in a future edition of Reef Hobbyist Magazine! All of you, the attendee's, will have a chance to check out the projects, judge them, and then cast a vote to see who will win the "popular" vote. This will also be the time that the MASC board releases all of the science fair projects to our special judges (Matt Pedersen, Bob Fenner) who will ultimatly decide the grand prize winner. The grand prize winner recieves a FREE trip to MACNA 2011! Hotel provided by our own JontheFB owner of Fathom Aquatics, and the flight will be provided by Aqua Medic of North America! The winner will also recieve free entree to MACNA 2011 and will get to display their winning project in the Reef Hobbyist Magazine MACNA booth!!

Each club (DARC, MASC, SCMAS) determines who is a club member and who isn't a club member so if you have any questions please contact your board. There will be different groups, something like an morning one and a later one! I also will be putting a "sign up" in here once all the details are worked out!! Here is a "sample" of what may be in the workshop

I suppose my wife would have to pay? As a non club member? Or could I pay for the both of us and she can watch or I watch and she participates? What exactly are we paying for? Do we get coral or fragging tools or are we paying to learn only? You did say Boston Aqua Farms is providing glue, cutters, etc but is that for the workshop only or do we get to keep the tools we use?

Again, not sure what is meant here by the "you mean to learn" phrase?? Wicked will be teaching. Shall I add you and your wife??

For you it would be $10 and for the wife it would be $20 as she is a "non member." There will not be enough "tools" for "everyone." There will be tables of 3-4 depending on size of the workshop. We hopefully be raffling off all of the tools that were used in this workshop, but I'm not exactly sure yet. You will get to keep ALL of the frags you are working with though. Hopefully, 1 easy, 1 moderate, and 1 extreme.

Ahh ok, makes sense. Just wasnt sure what the $10 was for... The wife does all the fragging and $30 doesn't make sense for the both of us. Let me see what she wants to do, dont hold a space for either of us yet. Thanks for the clarification Juan :)

lol, Aaron I'll bring my camera and macro rings so we can get some slick shots of your fragging demo! It'll be fun to see what kind of shots I can get at all the booths too!
