Thursday evening saw more that 50 Customers turn out to hear Mark Flynn-Ryan from the Tropical Marine Centre speak about Marine keeping as a hobby, and the effect it has upon the worldwide trade in aquarium fish and invertebrates. As a knowledgeable and passionate advocate for the ethical and sustainable management of the trade in marine aquarium species, I am sure Mark gave us all much food-for-though as to how we enjoy our hobby.
We would also like to thank TMC for donating products from their V2 range as prizes for the free raffle. Two lucky customers went away with a free V2 600 Calcium Reactor and a V2 400 Skimmer. You, our Customers, also deserve a word of thanks for supporting the event. Some traveled for more than a hour from Straban, Derry and Limavady. If this is the level of support that you, as Customers, are prepared to give, then we as a Retailer are certainly encouraged to sponsor other similar events in the future.
