    FEBRUARY MEETING 2026

    February 21, 12 noon til ~3 pm

    CMACS Aquarium Gastonia

    2350 E Franklin Blvd, Gastonia, NC 28054

    This month we will be meeting at one of our local partner stores! CMACS is an excellent family owned shop in South Charlotte that recently opened a second location in Gastonia (at the former home of Wet Pets). They always have a great selection of freshwater and saltwater livestock and supplies.

    Club members get 10% off livestock, so make sure your membership is up to date!

    After checking out the shop we can break out into a few groups for lunch at the nearby restaurants.

    No auction this meeting, but stay tuned as we are working on some new tools to streamline the auction process.

    Anyone is welcome to attend a meeting, and it's still only $20 a year to join the club! Check out the Facebook page, Discord, or Band for more or reach out to a board member if you have any questions!

  • AUCTION AND SALES INFORMATION

    Most monthly meetings include an auction.

    Paid members get an 80%-20% split on items they bring while it is 60%-40% for non-member sellers.

    Be sure to label your items accurately and legibly and get them checked in at the beginning of the meeting.

    Please only bring bags of water for the animals, plants travel better damp not wet. Make sure your bags or containers are secure!

    🎈🎈 DRY GOODS AND SUPPLIES can still be sold at the meeting, but will not be auctioned.  Be prepared to label with a set price.  The same commissions apply for members and non member sellers and checkout will happen together with auction goods.  Freebies are also great, but please only bring working and usable equipment. 🎈🎈
