Announcement: Reefkeepers Weekender 2008
 This really is the announcement of the year! Miss this, and you will kick yourself for a long time!!!! It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce the fourth and best ever Reefkeepers Weekender  The date is from Friday 29th of August 2008 - Monday morning on the 1st of September 2008 The place. Pontins, Pakefield, Suffolk ( 2 hours from London, 3 Hours from Birmingham). The Reefkeepers Weekender has grown steadily since it’s inception, and last year was a really fantastic weekend, with superb presentations, a Quiz, brilliant rafflle prizes, cabarets, plenty for the kids, and LOTS of late night chat (and a fair bit of Resolve sold in the shop!). This year however, we are in the Superleague! The highlight of the weekend will be, in additon to the usual raffle and quiz, presentations by none other than world renowned experts .......... Mr ANTHONY CALFO, Author of two of the “Bibles” of reef keeping, “The Book of Coral Propagation” and “Reef Invertebrates” amongst others. Anthony has also recently had articles in “Ultra Marine” magazine.  Plus, top Dutch expert, Mr. RON HESSING. Ron writes for Koralle magazine in Germany, A Journal in the USA, and his own site www.marineaquarium.nl and has spoken publically at events around the world, most famously, MACNA and the Boston Reefers Society. As well as these eminent experts, there will be other presentations, to be confirmed.  These guys have generously given of their time, (and considering they live in the USA and Holland, and are coming over especially for the weekend, a fair old bit of their time) and will be imparting some of their huge depth of knowledge Details of what their presentations will be will follow a bit nearer the time. However it is ESSENTIAL that you book now if you want to come this year. Last year, the holday park was full, and some of those that wanted to come were disappointed. So, don’t delay your decision this time people. It is bound to be over subscribed with a line up like this, so get in there and secure your place. You need to contact Pontins, Pakefield to book on 01502 502 900. Tell them it is for the Reefkeepers Weekender, and make sure you give them your UR name as well your real one, so that we can issue badges. OK, the price. For 3 nights Fri, Sat and Sun, it is £60 and half price for Under 18’s. This is half board, so a full Breakfast and Evening Meal each day are included. There will be Trade Stands and Give-aways too, and, of course, a chance to meet up for our annual chin wag and party! As well as the superb presenters, there are cabarets from BUCKS FIZZ, and a fantastic showband INFANTASIA. There is a Tribute Act to GEORGE MICHAEL as well as other entertainment, and a full programme of events . We have an appearance of Spongebob Squarepants in the main hall for the kids, as well as a photo opportunity with Postman Pat. We have our very own pub for the weekend, where we have exclusive use, and they even have Reefy Themed cocktails! It may the only time you will see a cherry in a “Regal Tang”! Seriously, I can promise you a most fantastic weekend, as those that have attended before will, I’m sure, testify. BUT, you do need to book this NOW! It has become one of the leading UK meets of the year and you don't want to miss it!
