General meetings usually has a 4 sections. Initially it starts out with a fair bit of socializing and DBTC business. Then there is a period of business where are announcements etc (things generated form BOD meetings) and other club hoopla. Then comes the presentation portion (the last one was on Cephs and breeding of them in the hobby) and finally there is a raffle section.

Depends upon the topic, I think Tony pretty much summed it up, although the presentation part is usually the longest part of the meeting (i.e. what the meeting is really about).

traditionally coral is the main item. It is common to also see chemicals in the mix too along with other reef related items. Never seen a fish in the raffle.

We had some of Robin's clowns a while back.

And I think way way back, there was a stonefish(!!!) or something like that.

[/quote]That depends, sometimes when people don't listen to the speaker all of the info is rehashed during the question period, which can be longer than the presentation. Poor Sanjay if he ever comes, I'll feel sorry for him answering questions he already answered during the presentation.

AS would any professor he'll direct to to where you can find the info but won't sit and rehash everything he said all ready. As a friend he won't tell me what bulbs he uses but rather sends me to where he posted it :)

Cuz you weren't in the club when I worked at Cortez Marine. I've put dozens of fish in the raffle.

BTW fish in the raffle is a bad idea. I found 1/2 the people either couldn't care for the animal or couldn't take it. Many died in the bag due to poor handling conditions :( Some even on the raffle table. They just don't make good raffle items so help me discourage anyone from doing so :D

Wasn't that in our swap, not raffle?

Right you are, Gresh.

I think we did have some fish coupons for store pickup in the raffle before.

I thought that was a raffle prize at the swap

But it first was on the swap table, right? That's my memory, right or wrong :)

I remember whomever won/got it actually gave it back after realizing potentially how evil it was :D
