Where: Meet @ Newport Aquarium in the square just outside the main gates

When: October 23rd, 2011 (sunday)

Time: They Open @ 10am, but I was thinking closer to noon(12pm) to allow everyone time to do their spiritual/personal doings in the AM... They close @ 6Pm

Cost: $28.00 Per adult, $23.00 Per child(2-12yrs), Children under 2 free admission(Children under 2 are not advised to participate in the beind the scenes)...***TAXES ARE INCLUDED IN THESE PRICES*** These prices will include all day unlimited access to the aquairum, and the behind the scenes tour.

***FUNDS WILL NEED TO BE COLLECTED NO LATER THAN 9/23/11*** Due to the restricted payment methods, you will turn your funds in; either in person to Brian(Lazylivin) directly or via the Club's paypal(treasurer@ohioreef.com, Be sure to include your Forum Name aswell as Newport in the subject field on the transaction). From there the Club will issue payment to cover the entire order. We will enter as a group, so tickets will be passed out upon arrival. There will be 0 refunds for cancellations after 9/24/11(please be sure you are positive you can attend when paying/registering)

I need to start getting as accurate of a head count as I can. So please state If you will be attending and how many people you will have with you. Don't list anyone who you aren't sure about; as we have to collect a ticket price on them and you will be stuck with a ticket if they decide not to show)... You can follow the Example for myself Below. I will tally your reciept for you, so please wait until you recieve your reciept via PM before making any payments,I will CC Brian(lazyliving) on all reciepts.

***This head count will run until 9/23/11 @midnight. At which time all funds MUST be recieved and no further changes can be made for the group admission, as the group form will be submitted and payment made on 9/24/11*** , if you are certain you are attending, please feel free to submit your payment at any time(via the above mentioned payment options). We will confirm Reciept of payment and head count on a seperate thread for viewing purposes.

Boonjob:
2 Adult
0 Children(2-12yrs)

***It is also important to notate that if someone else wants to show up who is not part of the intial group registration, they would be required to pay full admission price by the aquarium...***

Oh man I hope we can do this, we love going to the aquarium to see "Batman"!!! A few years back we donated our O. Batfish to them as he was too big for our hex tank. He was 26" top to bottom... Let me tell you it was fun getting him out of the tank!!! He's in the saltwater walk through tube right before the Jellyfish room!! Need to check the wife's schedule, but hope we can get in on this!

I will check on that for you but I am almost certain they can attend at the price of 16.00 per adult/11.00 per child(2-12)

lazylivin · « **Reply #13 on:** September 03, 2011, 13:35:48 »

That would be a good discount considering General Admission is $22.00 for Adults & $15.00 for Children under 12

Bright79 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 03, 2011, 14:51:44 »

i dont know if we would be able to do the behind the scenes tour because of the baby. i dont know how the stroller would do with all that. but it would be nice if we could get in for the 16 each !!!! =)

Russ · « **Reply #16 on:** September 04, 2011, 06:04:40 »

Depending on wahet parts of the building are included in the tour, you may see our two water treatment systems. We have a 750 gpd RO system with a 500 gallon storage tank, and a 300 gpd RODI for the penguin exhibit. Next on the drawing board is delivery of DI water to a number of the other exhibits.

Boonjob · « **Reply #17 on:** September 04, 2011, 10:54:20 »

Wow, that good to know russ... is that the only means of water filtration they have?they state they have over 1 million gallons of water on display I wonder wat changes are like with only 750gpd

Bright79 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 04, 2011, 14:56:09 »

well we wanna be there, but i dont think that the behind the scenes is very stroller friendly....how would i find out about this. we could go but maybe not do the behind? if anyone can let me know.......cuz i wouldnt have a babysitter for a sunday.

Boonjob · « **Reply #19 on:** September 04, 2011, 15:35:27 »

I am contacting them about it for you an micki, please stand by for a response... I will post as soon as I get one... but I am sure it will be 16 per adult.

Yes you may purchase general admission adult tickets for $16.00 a piece which would not include the behind the scenes tour... Also strollers are welcome inside the main attraction, but as previously stated anyone under the age of 2 is not advised to partake in the behind the scenes tour.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Receipt Pm'd

*unfortunately our discount does not include the penguin encounter(though it does cover the normal penguin exhibit)

There is a package available for breakfast and a presentation(on either penguins,sharks or frogs) from a biologist... This package would cause an increase in ticket price though, and we would all need to show up prior to the aquarium opening for the breakfast... Though I have no problems inquiring with the aquarium about this, I did not intially persue this as it required everyone to be up so early on a sunday, and the initial upfront cost....

I will see if they may be able to provide a similiar presentation during the day with no meal, if that sounds like something everyone may be interested in... Though I am not sure the cost or if they would even be able to do it...

If they were to offer this, would there be interest in sitting through a presentation given by a biologist on one of those topics? and which Topic would everyone prefer?

Shark
Penguin
Frogs

micki · « **Reply #25 on:** September 06, 2011, 15:48:56 »

Sounds like a plan except the current scheduled date for the aquarium is 10/23 the frag swap is on 10/22 @10am... IF EVERYONE IS IN AGREEANCE WE CAN SHIFT THE DATE TO 10/22 over 10/23 but I would need an overwhelming(almost 100% reply to do this...)

I was thinking Hofbrauhaus... huh? any takers?

Don't forget registration ends this week(Friday), and payment needs to be received no later than this Friday(9/23/11) @ midnight!!!

If finances are a problem, please PM myself or Brian, to see if we can work something out.

lazylivin · « **Reply #39 on:** September 20, 2011, 21:43:18 »

NEWMAN · « **Reply #40 on:** September 20, 2011, 23:20:34 »

either day here will work, Will we have enough time for the aquarium if were wanting to hit the frag swap up after? With the behind the scenes tore and all just didn't know if that was at a scheduled time or not??

lazylivin · « **Reply #41 on:** September 20, 2011, 23:38:31 »

The cincy frag swap starts at 10:00 and I think the behind the scene tour starts at 2:00.

I'm sorry, I can't do the 22.

Will they do a tour on both days so those that can't make it eather day could get in on the tour?

monkjim · « **Reply #46 on:** September 22, 2011, 12:18:20 »

Is it on the 22nd or the 23rd? I would like to attend. I have 1 adult for the behind the scenes, and 1 adult and 1 child under 2 for just the general exhibit.

Boonjob · « **Reply #47 on:** September 22, 2011, 12:40:51 »

It will remain the 23rd (10/23/11) Sorry for those who wanted to do both the fragswap and the aquarium, but I did not get enough support quick enough to warrant a change in dates... It's probably for the best anyways as if you bought something at the swap in the am it probably wouldn't last until the time you left the aquarium...

Payment is due tomorrow guys(9/23/11) please do not forget to get the payments in... if you need to arrange to drop it off somewhere please contact myself or Lazylivin... Lazy(Brian) is located in huber heights... I am in West Carrollton so you have north and south locations to drop it off too... also if you are having financial troubles please send one of us a pm, we will see what we can work out
