Hi all, The show was really good, especially considering it was the first! I too want to echo a few sentiments and thanks to lots of people:- George and Dan - Outstanding effort, as always, on the ukaps front. Can't really say enough so just - big thanks! Paulo - Manning the ukaps stand and...

Good to hear you will be able to make it again George, although I'm sure James would've done a great job too. I'm looking forward to hearing both your talks. I don't think anyone would've expected UKAPS to be providing accommodation, but I agree with Stu it would be nice to stay in a similar...

Check out megabus, they do trains and sometimes do much much cheaper tickets :thumbup:

Congrats Mark :thumbup: position 95

:thumbup:

I'm much better off now I have no car and live very close to uni :thumbup:

Ooh do I get a peepshow shower for that too?! :wink:

Any ideas where would be good to stay? Preferably without costing a fortune, but would be good to have loads of us in the same hotel like with Vivarium :)

Sounds like a great event for UKAPS to be invited to! Count me in for helping out George, I'm not as good with the lifting but more than happy to do other stuff to help out. Will be good to see some UKAPS faces again... :thumbup:

That sucks Mark - what happened? Love the pics so far and the vid Ed :D

Hi guys, Vivarium 2011 was my first proper trip abroad and I must say it was awesome. Had a brilliant time and a great laugh. The hotel was 4* and very luxurious. Thanks to UKAPS for providing free transport :) Another big thank you to Dan for organising and to John for sharing the driving...

Hi Matt, I was supposed to be staying as well Matt, Is it ok if I stay at yours please? Mark - That really sucks, hope you find something soon!

+ Steve and I are also booked in the Mercure :)

Ah yes :oops: Really looking forward to this :thumbup:

No, not at all. I'm sorry I don't get what you mean at all. I didn't mean to offend anyone, if I did I'm very sorry! Being a poor student myself, I just wondered what the special prizes were.

Hotel is booked :thumbup: Just wondered if we had missed the deadline for special prizes :lol: :oops:

Any update on this please? 8)

Ah I took it as we would have to stay 3 nights which would be about £200 but if it's 2 nights with perhaps a deal for Vivarium visitor it might well be doable. The link isn't working for me either, what is the name of it? How many people are planning on staying at the hotel vs vivarium floor...

Hi, I was really looking forward to this but I didn't realise there wouldn't be shower facilities. So I'd have to stay in the hotel but my car is just going through MOT (£££ to be spent :( ) so I'll pull out now and let someone else go in my place. Have a good time guys!

Is there a particular hotel working with vivarium again this year?

Oops sorry my bad Mark!

As long as my research is on track it'll be fine to take time off.

Re: Live aquascapes at a London art gallery Hi guys, Best of luck for next week. I was hoping to come along but I am flying to Newcastle Monday -Thursday and can't afford train fares to London. Please take plenty of pictures!

I know UKAPs won't be doing a stand this year, but I wondered who might still be going? It is 10am - 5pm and day entry is free :thumbup: I plan to go with a few friends Saturday, would be good to meet up with some UKAPs members :D

What happened to the pics?

Re: Sat 4th Sep 11am-Meetup at Living Waters then lunch(Surr Aw this would've been good but I'm going to a bbq reunion with loads of uni mates. Have fun!

Sounds good Dan 8)

I now have a passport :) So as long as it doesn't cost too much I'm in!

Ahh, thanks for explaining that to me Mark and Zig.

The processing - or the settings with which they have been taken. I'm not a photography expert, I was hoping someone with the knowledge would be able to see the difference and could explain to me :)

Just been looking through the pics. I love 134º Slobodan Lazarevic (Serbia):- http://acuariorosa.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/134.jpg Just flicking through the pics and some scapes I find their ranking interesting. A couple of the pictures are really odd - I don't know enough about photography...

Bit more notice would be good. Unfortunately it's crazy busy at work right now.

I think those comments are bit unfair. I opened the document and then couldn't be bothered to even read it lol :crazy:

+1

Wow well done guys! What day/episode is it on? Haha I'm too young to remember that George.

We should do a weekend trip... I would recommend adding in a trip to the blue planet... A b&b can cost around £25 for a night... Could work out pretty cheap?

Go for it Becca! You may indeed see a Lisa Perry in there, Steve didn't see me posing through the tank :D Gotta love those altums...

Change of plans! Managed to change him to today, so I can come again booya!

Unfortunately a friend of mine is moving to Vancouver and after a fair deal of messing me about, the only time we could meet is tomorrow lunchtime (in surrey). So I am afraid I'm going to miss this meet, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hey guys, I was thinking about coming up but its such a long way I'd fancy staying overnight somewhere nearby. Can anybody suggest anything? I'm quite happy to kip on someones floor. Sleeping on the floor of TGM would be awesome! 8)

Unfortunately I won't get my passport back in time :(

Indeed to get my first adult passport you must attend an interview! No idea how to get there...

That would be very helpful if you could please vivarium? I'm about to apply for my passport, going to take 6 weeks and an interview :twisted:

Actually do I need a passport? Or can I use my full driving license?

Sounds awesome, if I can get my passport by then I'm up for a road trip. Oooooh I wonder if we can hire a bus or something!?

So what happened after I went home guys? End up in Fuzzy Duck :lol:

Awww! I thought I recognised that stand, my mate Kev is taking a pic of you guys!

I might pop down tonight to help, and tomorrow to check out the other stands. What time are you getting there and needing help guys?

Hey Graeme, I can come down and help if you need it? What equipment are you needing? Lisa

Yeah thats kinda my point with TGM, its so far away for so many people. Yet here everyone can get together and they can reach a much wider clientbase. Sounds like its going to be a cracker this year!

As this is a stones throw from my place I shall be coming both days. Boys do you need a hand on the friday night setting things up? Is there anyway we can get AE and TGM selling tropica plants? There is a stand selling bread and butter plants but no-one sells the kind of plants we like. Ooh if...

Thats fine George but I may have to keep my promise on the beating thing :lol: us redheads get fiesty like that :twisted: Yeah I'll put the pics up soon. Got another major hand in due in day after tomorrow though and not started so uh, gtg!

I would love to go if I could afford it. I know a little bit of japanese as well, Konnichiwa, watashi wa Lisa desu. Doozo yiroshiku! The spelling is a bit wrong, but I remember how to say it hehe

You git George!!! You soo deserve a beating for that :twisted: Just goes to show how women can multitask?

John made the post yesterday :shock:

Are you not coming Cegipedia (fountain of knowledge)? Would be great to meet you, to see if you really are a textbook on legs :lol:

Wow thats double the price down here!

If u pay within 14 days it should be reduced to £30.

Thanks Mark. I've been having rubbish luck lately, but it has started to turn I hope... I don't want to jinx it just yet though by mentioning it!

I am so sorry I couldn't come now.. :cry: Glad you all had a great time. My Dad came picked me up and took me home, managed to get him to take me via the fish shop... Where they suggested they need someone to work full time!!! This is the one I used to work at. I can't, though I'd love to...

Next meet is The Green Machine isn't it?

Hiya, I am pretty poor and have just realised where you live mark, so I may just go to MA in St Albans and fish heaven (aka the road with wildwoods). By the time we leave MA in St Albans I think everyone will be a hungry so we can get lunch... It's a bit of a bugger being a student :evil:

Np, obviously would be good if you could come, I just saw you were missing off the list but most people that couldnt come had also said so on here... :)

Is George not coming?

Yeah I don't really have the money for a B&B, I do get allergy to the dust in carpets and floors, but I prefer a free floor lol. Plus I can just fold my double duvet in half and dada, instant bed!

I just thought the idea was we were going up for the weekend, going to the green machine on the saturday then an aquarium on the sunday. Ulster exile and John, I may take one of you up on the offer to stay over on the Friday if thats ok? I also am not scared of dogs, I absolutely love them and...

John Starkey?

Hmm, we would need to get to wrexham way before that to make it worthwhile surely? Can the Green Machine give us some floor space to kip down on? Is there anywhere else we could sleep for free? What is anyone else planning? George/TDI/Sam? May have to pop into the Goldfish bowl on the way... It...

Yar! Quite probably please! Garuf where are you did you want a lift to Brum? PS I will bring sat-nav

I'm coming from Portsmouth to around the birmingham/Oxfordy area if I can cadge a lift with someone from there? If theres enough room for someone else with me then I'll happily pick someone up on my way. I think I remember someone saying that might be possible...

It doesn't bother me I'm free both days, but just thought I'd clarify!

Did this not get changed to the Saturday, the 23rd of Feb? PS First post says Saturday 24th, but my calendar says its the 23rd on the Saturday...

Damn straight!

Its 229 miles for me and I'm still considering it... Could be cos I'm a nutter though! Come on for us its very far north west!

Is it really geeky to travel the length and breadth of the country to see fish shops, in a large group all wearing identical t-shirts? Actually I've done several trips to St. Albans and Wildwoods now so maybe not!

I love wildwoods, and also MA in St Albans. Has anyone been to that? It's fishtanks as far as the eye can see...

I'd love to, but my dad's xmas show is the 1st :( Count me in on the next thing!
