June 26, 2021 - Member's Frag Swap

[2manyhobbies]

what kind of lead time do you need/want for printing names?

About three days. I can bring blank extra tags just in case. If someone has a list of all supporting members it would really help in case there are any late sign-ups, if that is allowed.

 

[IOnceWasLegend]

If a board member will send me a list of members attending (real name and BAR Handle), I will make up badges for all of them.
Attached is a copy of the name badges I made up for the last swap I worked at.

Assuming no one has volunteered for this yet, I'll do that. Should I just have attendees message me their real names and forward them to you?

The list of attendees is on the poll

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people just writing their own name tag when they arrive. They will need to write their picking group letter on there anyway. Having the name tag have pre-printed blank fields is helpful though.

All we need on the name tags is picking round, name, and username. We don’t need the extra check boxes on the older tags as far as I know. Bonus rounds are organized by having one or more bonus tickets in hand, and this event is free for members.

Whatever the club wants, I will make it happen. I will bring the blank badges. Just make sure we have a few sharpies for their use.

Yeah I think club name preprinted is probably going to be the absolute easiest for all parties involved (members, person compiling the list, and printer)

Wife and kid coming for food. This is ok?

 

[sfsuphysics]

Sound be family ok/friendly. If there's too much crowd there's always the outside area, no tables but those concrete bench planters should be plenty of space for people.

 

[sfsuphysics]

Just as a heads up to members, but food will be provided for registered members (but we're not splitting hairs) I can't say what food it will be from what I understand more of a deli style/finger food type of thing. Also Tim decided to offer 2 kegs of his finest house brew that will be on tap for all those over 21 to enjoy

If the food/beverage is not of your liking you can still order from their menu, however this won't be covered for the event.

 

[reefshepherd]

I am in Stockton out in the country(Mariposa and Jacktone). San Pablo would be on my way to the frag swap. I can see now that this community is very giving. Thank You!

Yes, this is one of the friendliest and most generous clubs and events I’ve ever been to.

 

[reefshepherd]

If I bring 10 free BTAs, will anyone want them?

Absolutely

 

[reefshepherd]

Would folks add them to BARcode before event? If I make it easy?

I would but I don’t have that many to bring.

 

[reefshepherd]

Is there a separate dbtc table or do people set just those up through dm’s?

 

[reefshepherd]

I would like to bring 3 or 4 of my kids. They are well behaved. Are they welcome?

 

[H2OPlayar]

I would like to bring 3 or 4 of my kids. They are well behaved. Are they welcome?

Depends, can they help finish the kegs?

I think this is a pretty family friendly affair, but there will be adult nerds all around.

 

[JVU]

I went through the stuff I have stored for BAR and found a box of BAR T-shirts. Not a uniform distribution of sizes/styles, but still in perfect unused condition. The Board approved giving them away to members at the swap, so I’ll set them out on the freebie table for people.

Shouldn't be problem, it may get a little hectic, and you may have to leave them unattended when it's your turn to pick corals, but yeah should be good.

 

[sfsuphysics]

Just talked to the owner of the location and those who are vaccinated may go without a mask as per local/state guidelines, no proof is needed either. The mezzanine is rather open, although that does depend upon how crowded it will be with club members, there will be a large outdoor areas people can hang out in as well and we will have someone down there announcing what picking group is coming up next/currrently so no worries about missing your turn... unless you completely ignore the person doing the announcing

 

[The_Lazy_Reefer]

Finally got around to making frags for the swap. I’ll be bringing Tyree montipora spongodes, ORA red montipora and WWC slimeball anacropora.

 

[IOnceWasLegend]

Trying to put together exactly what I'm bringing. I know they're not explicitly on the 'banned' list, but are yellow cloves okay to bring?

Regardless, I should be able to have some goodies for the bonus rounds; if all goes well I'll be bringing:


Vamps n Drag

Utter Chaos

Rainbow Incinerator

Salted Agave

Illuminati

Speckled Krak

RBTA

Couple heads of branching gold hammer

Pavona

Green discosomas

Red monti cap

Eagle eyes
