Subject: Re: Did you get my e-mail?

Dave's already agreed to come if asked.
Ole would be great, several professionals will come to hear him
and join for that alone. I'm afraid Claus is out, Wim is still
my favorite speaker thus far. Well, besides you:)

I think it's wise to have the AGA do this from here on, the
potential for miscommunication is greatly reduced. Then you know
what and when and can plan this.
The simpler the better.

Our club has grown rapidly due to this simpler method.
Interestingly, we might hit 200 members at some point in the
next few months at this rate.

Not bad for a local plant club.

Anyhow, kick some names around the hat.
We have a number of members that can do various talks.
Erik Leung would be good for scaping. So would Luis Navarro.
You might russle them into the fray to give a talk/demostration
for new and old timers.

Thing is, seeing someone do a nice scape inspires those that
have been sitting on the pot too long to give a new scape a try.

Roland owns www.GreenChapter.com
Rare plant vendor in Singapore.
He gets some crazy Crypts, one of which I've been after for
nearly 25 years. It'll be coming in a week or 2.

Folk's off the beaten path......well, there are some in FL(Mike
Kane, he does lots of ornamental aquatic plant tissue culture,
we might resurrect George Booth:)
Rhonda Wilson perhaps, she has been big on more relaxed non CO2
methods, my self, I'll take whatever anyone else don't want.

The plant auction will be scary here though.
We have so many plants locally these days and it seems we simply
have so many plant growers here, the variety at the swaps is
simply staggering sometimes.

Jim is a super nice guy, Mike is also, but comes off hot headed
on email. But I don't know anyone like that now do I? haha

Hope this helps,
Tom Barr










You might ask Jan about Dutch folks also.
