Format:

The typical meeting night the doors will open approximately 6:30pm and will have a social period until 7:00pm.  At the start of the meeting all business will be discussed which lasts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the agenda.  Usually there is another brief break that allows the program or speaker time to set-up.  After the brief intermission there is a program that typically lasts an hour or so.  The topics of these programs can be as wide as the hobby itself.  Sometimes it is a video or local club member other times it is a well known speaker from the industry such as Bing Seto, Rusty Wessel or Charlie Grimes.  At the conclusion of the program the club members set up for a mini-auction of fish and aquarium related goods.  Typically this lasts anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour when the meeting concludes.  On average the meetings usually last until 9:00 or 9:30pm.
