Lets all get behind this and support a good cause, while arranging what we hope will be one of the biggest reef meets in the UK.
This is open to every UK reefer on every reef forum! We have thought about arranging a marine only show day meet for sometime and this seems like the perfect venue and perfect cause to get things started.
Over the coming months we will be launching this in a big way and hopefully with the support of other forums and manufacturers we can get this off the ground and start an annual event.
This post will be updated with all those attending so we know the numbers for the weekend. It will also be updated with information on the full agenda for the meet.

As most of you know, on the recent Liverpool meet and raffle for little Cain Burn's I put my full weight behind the raffle, and yes I know, I have plenty of weight to push with. Anyway, Pam, Joe and myself have been talking and we want to do more to help Cain get his dream.
Heres our plans so far;
We have picked a Saturday and Sunday, the 2nd & 3rd of March 2013, yes its a long way off yet but we intend it to be one of the best UK meet weekends ever and one to remember.
You all know how keen our shop prices are already so if we give TSB members an extra 10% off everthing on the weekend and then at the end of the weekend donate 10% of our takings to Cains fund should get the fund raising off to a good start. I will be setting a till up and at the end of each day a reading will be taken off the till to give the total for the day, this can and will be done with witness's so nobody can say anything has been left out. (this is for my piece of mind).
Here's what we have going on at Reef Fest 2013
Saturday daytime:
Adult fishing match, set-up at 7:30am start 8:00am end 12:00 noon
Main shop opens at 9:30am
Trade stands open at 10:00am
Free tea, coffee & biscuits opens at 10:30am
BBQ weather permiting starts at 11:30am
Bike show starts at 11:30am
Birds of prey starts at 11:30am
Adult fishing match weigh in at 12:15pm
Kids fishing match set-up 1:30pm starts 2:00pm ends 4:00pm
kids weigh in at 4:15pm
Raffle drawn at 4:30pm.
Shop closes at 5:00pm
The bike ride will end sometime during Saturday, time to be confirmed.
Saturday night, Party time:
The Railway public house party doors open at 7:30pm.
Those wishing to have food at The Railway can come earlier.
Auction starts at 8:30pm
Once auction has ended then the resident DJ will entertain us.
We can dance, drink and be merry.
Sunday:
Shop opens at 10:00am
Free tea, coffee and biscuits start at 10:30
BBQ weather permiting and if there's anything left from Saturday starts at 11:30am
Ladies fishing match set-up at 1:30pm, starts at 2:00pm ends 4:00pm
Ladies weigh in at 4:15pm.
shop closes at 4pm
We have been promised by Hull KR and Hull fc that some of the players will be attending.
Hull Daily mail will be covering the event and we're hoping that Calander News and Look North news will also cover the event.
I've asked a local radio station for coverage as well.
I will be mentioning all and every company and person who has donated to the event on as many of these media sites as I possible can.
Also we are offering a waxing service:
Them that dare;
A/ Phil; head shave, chest & leg wax, you could be the one that pulls the wax strip £5.00 a go.
B/ Joe; chest & leg wax pull the wax strip £5.00 a go.
C/
D/
E/
F/
G/
All money raised going to Cains fund.
If theres any local reefers that would like to help out then please let Phil know. Any help would be great, as theres only 3 of us on site. A little help with the carboot or fishing match's would be great and if theres any weekend chefs for the BBQ would be nice.
I can help sort out local hotels, Travel Lodges or Holiday Inns for those that want to stay over on the Saturday night. After the BBQ theres some nice pubs in Cottingham village or if you want night clubs you can't go wrong with Hull City Centre.
I will be getting in touch with some of the large company's localy for a bit of help with fund raising. If there's any manufacturer's on TSB that want to join in feel free to let me know, the more that get involved the better. I will also be getting in touch with local news media, press, radio and tv. With plenty of coverage we should be able to raise loads 'a' money.
Not only will this weekend be one that gets talked about for ages but I'm hoping the weekend will raise several thousand pounds for Cains fund.
