Evolving BRS calendar for 2009

The new president and BOD will be shaping this schedule throughout the year, so check back regularly for changes and updates.

The BRS has generally had a policy of having meetings on the last Saturday of every month. We have, however, sometimes interspersed a few Sunday meeting, particularly outside of football season. The calendar below tries to avoid holidays that typically will drive attendance of the meeting way down. The schedule also attempts to avoid other important events in the marine hobby.

This leaves us with the following for Saturday/Sunday dates, following the general guide of meetings on the last weekend of each month.

Jan 25 Sunday - Noon - 4 PM - Saugus American Legion - Do it yourself demo meeting - likely to involve demos of homemade equipment and equipment modification, coral propagation, etc.

March 8 Sunday - Noon - 4 PM - Framingham Lodge of Elks - Annual member donated frag and used equipment auction

March 29 - Bridgewater Vet's Club, 85 Cottage, St. Bridgewater, MA 02324. Beginers Q&A
