WORCESTER AQUARIUM SOCIETY

Home of The Fish Club and Society WebRing

Welcome to the Worcester Aquarium Society Web Site. This site will give you some information about the Worcester (MA) Aquarium Society (WAS). To learn more about us, we urge you to attend one of our meetings. We are sure you will be back.

(Click here for information about our next meeting.)

This site is constantly under construction, so please forgive our dust. Links are added every week, some pages will change format and new pages will be created as needed. We wish to provide you with information about our Society, our sister clubs and societies, and the hobby in general on a timely basis.

Who are we?

The WAS is a group of hobbyists whose interest in keeping fish has brought us together so that we may learn from each other as well as the programs that the WAS provides. We try to use real people as speakers as often as possible, but some of our programs are provided as prepackaged videos or slide shows. The meeting date in December of each year is reserved for our annual Holiday Party, which is strictly a social event.

We were established in 1949 by a group of hobbyists with the goals:

To foster and develop interest in the aquarium hobby.

To promote programs of interest and education about the hobby.

To provide a place where information and education can be gathered and exchanged.

To educate people (of all ages) in maintaining and breeding different species of fish.

To engage in charitable activities that the society deems appropriate.

When and where do we meet?
Our meetings are generally scheduled for the 4th Tuesday of the month, except July and August. Occasionally, due to a holiday or special event, the date may be changed.
(Click here for information about our next meeting.)

We meet in the Student Center of Worcester State College, please see below for the room number. Meetings start at 7:15 PM.
