Hi all
I have seen a couple of newbies who has just took up this hobby and has tons of questions/ misunderstandings.
I am thinking of inviting a couple of reefers to help hold a simple workshop just to through the basics of reefkeeping.
Hopefully this can help the newbies and at the same time, put a face to the nick and get to know each other.
This might or might not kick off depending on response. I will leave this invitation open 8th June and will decide then.
As there is
- massive coordination work involve
- time commitment from the reefers in the preparation of the topics
- renting of venue (most likely in a condo function room)
- refreshments preparation
I am proposing that a registration fee of approx $10 for those keen to attend.
Payment has to be made in advance to attending the workshop.
I will not be earning a cent from this workshop.
If there is any excess, I will either do a refund it back based on remaining amount or get something for everyone attending.
Date: 26 june 19 Jun
Time: 10:30 am sharp
Venue: to be determined. Tentatively CCK
Duration : 1.5hr
Tentative Agenda
( I have yet to put detail thoughts to this, will send a more detail agenda once if this workshop is confirmed)
