I will be there. I had Flwrbed mark it down on the calendar so he should be able to make it also if he doesn't have to do any funerals or weddings.

He is planing on going. But if he can't I could always deliver the fish. He also should have some Discus for BAP!!!!

I don't know about the bunking part but swimming for the kids and adults is always an option. I figure my wife and son are going to swim so they might as well take some friends with them. So pack your swim suits and stick around after the swap if you would like.

Grand Prize - 75 gallon aquarium (made possible by the generosity of the Fish Shack)
Pets playhouse gift certificate
80 dollars in Fish Shack gift certificates
MUCH MORE
To make this better, we have added additional items to the raffle, as well as prizes to be awarded at the door for lucky people to win at the door. Sign up as you enter. a 29 gallon tank will be awarded to a random person numbered 1-25 so get there early! also a 20 gallon tall tank will be awarded to a random number thereafter!
The donation committee is really lining up some products too! The more they get, the more will be available for our raffle! There will be a plethora of food samples available to everyone that walks in as well, making the 2 dollar entry a no brainer! Who wouldnt pay 2 dollars for 10 dollars in free product?
The BAP auction is going to be just as large as ever, with talk about discus being entered as well!
Would like to give a heads up to all you BAPPERS out there! There is going to be a massive prize for first place......looking to be 500 dollars if things continue as they are. We are also going to have a random drawing to all those that entered ANYTHING in the contest. You could win big with just one submission so get those entries in there! The prize awarded in the second chance drawing will be determined on the amount exceeding the winners 500 dollars, so the sky is the limit!
We have been very detailed on the records kept for this years BAP. Besides having multiple hard copies of the submissions, we also have it all backed up on the club computer. NEVER AGAIN will there be a last minute issue. I cannot wait to award these prizes at the end of the year.
Everyone attending, you are missing out on some wonderful fish in the auctions. Some of the prices I have seen these fish go for (calvus, peacocks, etc) are so low. Stick around and bid. More than likely, you will walk away with a treasure for little to nothing.
Remember that every dime spent in BAP and raffles contributes to the club! The more you spend, the more we provide. I can promise you have never seen a club like ours. All profits are given away to our members. What goes around, will come around. We need your support to make these events successes. Our club is without a doubt the best when it comes to taking care of our members. We want to see each and every one of you walk away with a huge smile on your face. SOOOOOOOO
Mark that calendar! Save the date! Come have some fun and walk away with a bounty! If you have never attended, now is the time! We would love to meet you! Hope to see you all there!

We have been making out like bandits lately. We haven't been with the club to long but The last swap, we won a whole 30gal tank setup, tshirts, and lots of other little stuff. and the BAP auction help fill our 55G for almost nothing! (granted we accidentally killed them all and will be after more this next time, but we did get all the first ones for cheap)
This should be HUGE! I have personally been working a lot on donations and they are really starting to roll in. I have been going everywhere and getting companies that have never been on board with us before donating, and I know stuart landed a big one today. Looks like it will be one of those deals where we are paying you to walk in the door! Hope everyone makes it out to this one.
