I think I can make it that weekend. As long as we're diving.

Ken: Let me know if you want me to bring anything.

Hi all,

Sorry for not being around and following up on this. The last month has been a record sickness month for me. Nasty cold, followed by flu, followed by another nasty cold. Trying to catch up in the "healthy" days didn't leave me much time.

Anyway, I thought I'd throw out an idea here. I was wondering what everyone thought about having a potluck bbq?? Just bring a dish of something, your BBQ meat of choice and your bevies. (not to mention frags)

I reallize some folks will be travelling quite some time so perhaps we could have the more local reefers do the more perishable dishes.

Perhaps to avoid double dishes, post what you are going to bring in this thread.

Thoughts?? Comments?? Anyone bring a BBQ??

May be able to come over from the Mainland, if someone can pick me up from the ferry like last time. If I do come, I can also bring over some stuff if its not too heavy or bulky. Should be able to bring over some frags too.

I have some colt, zoos, trumpet, and a few other things. I also have lots of red halimenia macro, chaeto, & a few extra Red Fromia starfish if anyone is interested.

BTW, Scavenger thanks for organizing these get-togethers. Last one was lots of fun too.

I'm up for it but its means more work on your part and you better get some definate confirmations on who's coming for sure first. Would be a shame if only 5 people show up and the dinner part turns out to be a bust. Or why dont we all just go out to a resturant together for those who want to? Wish I had more frags to bring but my tank is new so its still pretty bare.

Hey I was just wondering if out of towners could swing by the meet and maybe purches rather then trade frags? I will be in Victoria on that weekend, and visiting friends in Duncan. My flight would be leaving that sunday night for home.

Who cares how many people show up? A party is a party! We don't have these too often so maybe the "demands" should be kept to a minimum, we're lucky Scavenger is volunteering to do this for us, remember?

I wouldn't expect too large of a turn out. There just isn't that many of us on the island. Some of that already limited number will not be able to make it, but it looks like we may pick a stray or 2 from the other side of the pond.

Personally I very much enjoyed hosting the last one. Though we had small numbers, I thought it was fun and a great chance to meet members face to face.

Anthony, pm me if you think you;ll need a ferry terminal pick up. I might be able to arrange something for you. I figure my wife owes you after you brought a non reefing gift for a non reefer. (I still can't get over that thoughtful gesture.)

I'm sure nobody would mind a flatlander coming by.(grin) But don't expect to win the coveted Most Distance Traveled Award since you are already on the island!! (grin again)
