Good morning everyone.
The New Year is fast approaching, and it is time for us to start thinking about our swap meet. Last year we had a hundred people come through the door, and rented twenty tables, however we are looking to increase these numbers. This was a great success for our first swap meet. Let’s make the next one even bigger and better! The date for the swap meet is April 04 2020, please make sure you are available, even if you are not being a vendor, ( which we hope you are) since we will need help with setting up, and tearing down the tables, manning the door, selling 50/50 tickets, just to name a few things. Also we will be making advertising posters once again and we need people to distribute them far and wide. Last swap meet we asked people where they heard about the event, and most answered with “saw it on a flyer at ...” So that was a great way of spreading the word about our event. Thank you! Se you all at the December meeting! 2020 Membership cards will be available at the meeting as well. Gabe President of the Windsor Aquarium Society

Have you guys contacted some of the other players from other cities if they would be interested in attending? Maybe offer cheaper tables if they are willing to drive a couple hours? Just a thought. Also I would agree that more foot traffic should help, not sure how entice those less fanatical hobbyists

Also I would agree that more foot traffic should help, not sure how entice those less fanatical hobbyists Last year I contacted a few but I think most were taking a wait and see approach which I totally understand . We have already got interest from some out of the area people which is encouraging. We plan on attracting as many as possible . There are different things we can try including cheap table rentals . Thanks for your input , it’s always appreciated .

CHANGE OF DATE!!!!!
Please note that we had to change the date of our swap meet to April 04 2020!!! This change is due to a mixup from CAOAC sectioned events. Thank you for your understanding!

Gabe President of the Windsor Aquarium Society Could you maybe put the poster here on the forum so people can print at home and distribute at work or where ever..... Perhaps posting on kijiji as well under the "fish for rehoming" and "accessories" under Pets.

Folks, can we have a thread (locked one at that) with the following:
Banner, about the Swap Meet, links to Registration Form and then lock it so it is only READ ONLY? This way, I can link the banner when I am posting on the various Forums. Saves people wading through a conversation to find what they need.
Thanks, Gary
