Yep, looking forward to it!

 

[moosenoose]

I'll try and drag my butt off the couch :lol:

 

[killimike]

I so wanna go, but I think work deadlines will foil me once again... dammit.

Any chance the presentations are recorded?

 

[herptrader]

At one stage they used to be but I do not believe this is being done currently.

 

[killimike]

Shame, the native fish mob have started doing it and I think it's a great idea.

 

[herptrader]

It used to be done and supplied to interstate and overseas members as part of their membership but I am not sure that it was all that popular.

I could be wrong and they may still record some of them - please someone correct me if I am in error.

As an aside, Killi fish are not native are they?

 

[killimike]

Yeah, I think recording meetings especially presentations, is a good resource for members to refer back to, and for those who can't make meetings. Maybe someone could suggest it? Auction and a gecko presentation, I'm bummed I can't make it....

Nope, killies aren't native, we are the only populated continent not to have any

i have never been to one of these, what goes on?

 

[Sarah]

i am planning to go cant miss a talk on geckos !! i might have to leave my license at home so i wont be tempted.

 

[herptrader]

Briefly - a couple of presentations by the speaker and an auction, often with lots of "Lost Herps Home" animals etc. I can guarantee a good evening for all those with a herp interest!

i have never been to one of these, what goes on?

 

[302hsv]

[reptilian1924]

l wont be going to the VHS Herp meeting, l have to much else to do with my time, and Gecko's are not for me, hope those who do attend all have a good time why their there.

The last time l went to a VHS Herp meeting was July 2002 and February 1995.

 

[herptrader]

The meetings have evolved a bit since then. There is still the free pizza etc. but being in a licensed venue and mid week does give a very different and more friendly vibe.

Yes l'm sure the VHS Herp meetings have evolved alot since the last 2 times l attended a meeting, but l have my reason for not wanting to go or attend these days, l instead would rather keep to myself privately, and keep in contact with some of my close friend herp mates who l know and enjoy chatting to in person or on the phone or via emails, that l know are willing to help out or share their knowledge in Reptile keeping or breeding with me just as l am with them when ever they need help or advice.

l hope alot of newcomers to the Herp communitty do join up with the VHS Herp Society and attend the Herp meetings, so they can gain more knowledge in Reptile keeping & breeding, and make some new friends why their there.

'leave early' to go to the meeting or leave the meeting early? Save room for the pizza!

Look forward to seeing everyone and all the new faces too.
Feel free to come up and say Hi...as I am a bit shy also...
