[micki]

I'm in.  Might bring my family too.

Jeff (reefkeeper) hasn't been online for the past month. He likely has gotten busy with his buisness. Is there someone else that wouldn't mind calling Newport  organizing the trip for October?

[Bright79]

what information would be needed to organize this..i might be interested

In order to get group rates, we have to schedule in advance... in order to scedule in advance we have to fill out the registration form... in order to fill out the registration form we need to figure out EXACTLY the amount of people coming... Money would Ideally need to be collected ahead of time(not only to insure we have the correct number of people upon arrival, but we also have to pay ahead of time to recieve rates)

We would also need to determine if we would like a behind the scenes tour... awaiting on a response to see if we can get any additional discounts on it(though I seriously doubt it)... Behind the scenes tour is 15.00 for all ages and lasts 45min. We would also need to schedule/pay for this in advance aswell.. I will keep updated as more info becomes available.

Thanks for organizing this Cody. I think most of us would only be interested if they are giving the behind the scenes tour. Once we know date/time/amount everyone can decide if they want to go and commit by paypal the ticket price to treasurer@ohioreef.com or mailing me a check.

we need to stretch from 45 min to at least and hour and half

OK!  So lets get this updated and rolling!

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:16.00 Per adult, 11.00 Per child(2-12yrs). Children under 2 free admittance. Behind the scenes tour $15 for all ages.(this may change, I will also see if anyone under 2 can take this tour for free)... for now though plan on paying for them on this tour if you want them to go)***all taxes are applicable***

***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(Lazyliving) directly or via the Club's paypal(treasurer@ohioreef.com). 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.

Sunday's are bad for me until early November..... all 3 kids play select soccer thus have games on sunday & I also play sunday

Hopefully next time (if there is a next time) I can make it, always wanted a behind the scenes look

[Boonjob]

We can do either Sunday or Saturday, it is no matter to me, I just need a general consensus as to the best day out of that weekend for everyone... I am also in the process of working out the prices better with the aquarium rep atm.. Will post and update as I get more info.


***This thread has been moved to( http://www.ohioreef.com/index.php?topic=11903.new#new ) for ease of information... Please see that thread for updated info as I will no longer update this one***
