Hi Folks, after the success of our visit earlier this year UKAPS have asked to attend Viviarium 2011.

We are proposing that this year we take a minibus over. Last time Graeme, Stu and I went over in my car but we recon it'll be a great laugh if we all pile into a minibus and make a road trip out of it!

The show will be in February next year. We need to chat to the organisers about local accommodation and look at minibus hire and travel etc but if you're interested please put your name down here.

Anyone is welcome, it's a great excuse to meet up, it's a great show and it'll be a great laugh i'm sure.

I did almost start a thread, What happend to Steveuk? :lol:

I would love to be involved, as i couldnt in the end this yr
 
My parents own a mini bus and a van with workmens seats I could ask if they'd be able to be borrowed?
 
Awesome! At this rate we'll need a coach :lol:

UKAPS will be paying for the vehicle hire and travel so you'll just have to fund your own accommodation.

We need as many tanks a possible for the stand, established aquascapes. We have a few between us, like the ones we've used for the festival etc so if you're serious about coming then I can give you the equipment and a tank to scape up in advance. Aquafleur/Aquadistri sponsor the whole event so i'll see if their wonderful, kind, generous MD will be able to help out 😉

he he, this is gonna be awesome :thumbup:
 
It'd work out at 21 people including 2 insured drivers. They should be okay with it unless there's a massive date clash, they lend them out to my brothers gf's family all the time.
 
Great to see such enthousiasm! :thumbup:

One small correction though, as the show is in March (the weekend of the 26th and 27th) and not in February.

I will keep you all posted on the preparations of the coming show (and aquascaping competition!!!) in our sponsor forum.

Seriously though we had a great weekend and its something that ukaps member should seriously consider doing next march. Great company, great show, great hosts and i learned loads whilst there too.
 
The green goatie there pal. I knew It would look good on you.

It was a brilliant show, how hobby shows should be. Me, Dan and Stu got overly excited about the whole event. Marko and his team where so nice to us and so welcoming. Some of his team are now on the forum too. Great bunch of people.

If you can, and you can afford to take part ( it shouldnt cost much ) then please, please considor showing your support for Ukaps, and Vivarium 2011.

We are friendly and easy to get on with, so there would be no need to be shy. We like to have a laugh and the schedual is tough, but its a good crack.

Cheers.
