skippy Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi there all have been scrolling through old posts and not that there is a few people in Northland, found at least two others in Kerikeri (Angel for one) as well as Phillz in Dargaville. There must be more out there. I am a reefer and know of at least a couple of others with marine or reef tanks in Whangarei. Is there any club in Northland, reef or otherwise? I know of another reefer moving up to Kerikeri next summer. Is there any interest is setting up some sort of club? Could be informal to start - just to see if we like each other :lol: :lol: - and then if folks are interested we could look at setting up a club of sorts. Given the geographical distances involved, and the likely fact that there are not that many of us in each area of interest (ie reefers, cichlid, etc, etc) it may be better that we have a single club (group) that covers all of us rather than trying to set up a group for each. Be interested in any feedback that folks may have. May also talk to my friendly lfs owner in Whangarei if he knows of anyone in Whangarei that may be interested. If anyone is interested either post on here or pm me but note that I am going to be away for a couple of weeks from tomorrow so may be a while before I get back to anyone. Diving in Fiji :lol: :lol: :lol: Also if any mods read this, they may want to link it to the fresh and saltwater sections - not too sure how to do it :oops: :oops: Cheers Skippy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi skippy, I am new to this forum & fish keeping. I keep cichlids mainly & I would be interested in a club in our area. Think the best way would be to put a notice in the stores & see how much response comes from that, not sure just an idea. Let me know what you think.

skippy Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hi Smidey Sorry for the delay in replying, been diving in Fiji looking at what I would like to put in my tank :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh, if only I could have brought some home with me I think your idea is probably a good starting point. I note you are in Whangarei. Do you shop at Northland Aq and Pets? I try and catch up with Richard (the owner) most times I am down there (he is the friendly lfs owner I referred to in my original post). He could be up for us putting a notice up in his shop to see if there is any interest. I will try and get in touch with him in the next couple of weeks to see if he is keen. He may be interested in helping out as it could be good for business for him :lol: Will post again soon. Sorry it is a bit abrupt but I am a bit wrecked tonight. Got up at 1.00am this morning to get the plane home Cheers Skippy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Suemack is in Whangarei also and I am sure she would be interested in a local club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hi skippy, diving in fiji sounds very impressive & it is a pitty you couldn't bring anything back. I shop at Whangarei Pet & Aquarium centre on Maunu Rd, I like the people there better. Let me know when you post a notice & if you get any replies.

Scuba Sam Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi guys, I have just started keeping fish again after ten years away. I would be interested in getting in touch with others in the area if a club is formed. I have a mix of freshwater fish, from guppies to a golden severum, so far!! Cheers, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northland chic Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I know I'm a bit far away but if you do get a club going I'd love to be a member! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
