Here are some speakers I know I would like to see at club meetings in the future. I have been whatching them on Youtube and found their videos very helpful while just getting back in to fish keeping.
Rachel O'leary
LRB Aquatics
Flip Aquatics

Thank you very much for your suggestions. It's good to get these in the queue sooner rather than later as some of these folks (like Rachel) book as far as 2 years out in advance. Rachel hasn't spoken to the club in a few years now (not counting the demonstration at CatCon), so we're due to get her back. Fun fact: PVAS was the very first club Rachel presented at -- she has a complete listing of all her talks on her website, Invertebrates by MsJinkzd!
Another well-known hobby personality is Discus Hans. It's now been many years since Discus Hans visited our club. Unfortunately, he lost the jump drive on which he stored all his presentation materials and so he declined to speak at PVAS late last year, but I think some gentle persuasion can be applied to get him back in the saddle, so to speak.
What other speakers are members interested in hearing from?
Are there some off-beat topics members are interested in, ones that we wouldn't normally have? Stingrays, seahorse breeding and conservation, others? Keep the ideas coming.
I was not aware of that unfortunately I did not find this club till right after the Catfish Convention.
Rachel did an aquascaping presentation at our Catfish Convention just three months ago.
