No, you weren't imagining things, that was me. Did one here before no troubles at all.

I have no idea what kind of crowd normally shows for these but I could bring down a BBQ as well as folding table and chairs.
Chairs and BBQ's sound great. I had to do the salmon in the oven last time due to BBQ space. I'm sure we can find enough backs to do the grunt labor, and a weekend is pretty much a sure thing as it works best for the majority, not to mention that's all that would work for me!! Fair weather in June'ish would let us use the yard for the BBQ/kickback and BS session. (BS=Beer Swaling. GRIN!)

Setup and cleanup weren't really a problem last time. The house and yard are big enough for the numbers of reefers I'd expect. I may not be rich, but I'm not "one poor person!" hmmm.... OK maybe a little bit.

OK you can assist ( LOL!!) if the crowd desides Nanaimo and my place.
