Re: NEW aquarium society in NE Pennsylvania !!

[Jon]

You are aware of NCPARS right? I'm sure there's a club in Philly as well.
Seems bit of an over kill to have that many clubs in the same general area.
Especially in PA...

Hmmm.... I live in NEPA and would not even consider driving all the
way down to Philly for a meeting...

I have not heard of NCPARS... do you have any contact information for
them? Where are they located?

The closest clubs I can find are in either NJ or NY which is too long
a drive for me. I already have to put close to 3k miles per month on
my vehicle... so a long drive for a few hours of meetings is not an
option... however, having one so close, down in Wilkes-Barre sounds
like a cool deal. I know I will be going at least to the first few
meetings just to see what is going on etc...

Jon,

You are aware of NCPARS right?

Yes, but Philly is a long way to drive for meetings. That's why we chose to
have one in Wilkes-Barre. We can pull from many neighboring areas and people
only have to drive less than an hour. We have received some really good
people who are interested, so we are trying.

Thanks for the link Jon...

It looks like NCPARS is about 2.5 hours from where I live... way too
long a drive, especially if I wanted to swap or purchase live fish
etc... also seems like this is a Salt only club. Too bad. I am much
more interested in Freshwater and Planted tanks. Salt is just too
expensive for my wallet.
